Perioperative Specialty Certification: the CNOR as evidence for Magnet excellence.

摘要

The American Nurses Credentialing Center's (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program~R is a quality indicator for nursing excellence. This program accredits and showcases those health care institutions that act as a "magnet" for professional nurses by creating a work environment that rewards quality nursing services. Magnet- designation is the highest level of reward that can be given to organized nursing services in health care organizations.1 Nurse scientists continue to evaluate Magnet hospitals, and some studies have confirmed improved patient outcomes within organizational environments that support professional nursing practice. Magnet designation remains a valid marker of excellence in nursing care, thereby supporting the association between competence and quality nursing care.
