Nurses are a leading voice of healthcare at Hahnemann University Hospital. In some of the past Nursing Open Forums, many of our nurses had asked about whether Hahnemann University Hospital would be applying for the Magnet Recognition Program®. We considered these questions seriously, and were proud to announce that Hahnemann would actively pursue this national accreditation for our nurses and their accomplishments.
By staying positive and bringing new solutions to the table, each of our nurses helped increase satisfaction and quality levels for our patients. We achieved extraordinary outcomes in the face of organizational challenges by working together. These are hallmarks of a Magnet-level team.
Of course, pursuing Magnet status is not just about putting a spotlight on your outstanding work. It comes with many benefits. In order to earn Magnet status, we as an employer must continually support your commitment to nursing excellence by listening to your ideas for meaningful new programs and strengthening those that already exist. In turn, this will increase your ability to deliver effective patient care, and make it clear to desirable potential nursing recruits, and all of us, that Hahnemann is truly an employer to which no other hospital can compare.
I am proud to say that with our hard work and collaborative dedication Hahnemann University Hospital was granted Magnet status on Monday, December 14th, 2009.
Here are some examples of how Nursing impacts our continued Magnet journey: You act as key decision makers through shared governance by participating in nursing councils to address: research, quality, practice, education and diversity. These councils enhance your ability to positively impact your profession, the Hospital and the care of your patients.
You also have a clear path to professional growth through our Pillars of Professionalism program. Diligently created by a team of your colleagues, this nursing career ladder is based on the four pillars of clinical, education, leadership and research competencies. These provide a framework to help you advance in your individual development goals.
In addition, our mission and vision reflect the delivery of care we provide at Hahnemann University Hospital. In order to better state your commitment to nursing excellence, providing patient-centered care is now at the heart of our mission. Each milestone we continue to reach sustains our Magnet culture.
The nurses at Hahnemann University Hospital are proud of their achievements.
