Abstract:
American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet® designation is prestigious to healthcare institutions. Setting the expectation for all hospitals within a system to be Magnet designated is a lofty but achievable goal. Nursing leaders at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center set organization-wide designation as a goal in 2010. A robust system-wide Magnet Program Directors Council facilitated this effort by standardizing practices and supporting members through the journey.
