Background and Issue Description
As health care systems undergo reform and redevelopment, hospitals face technological, demographic, political, and financial challenges in providing quality care in heightening budget constraints. In order to effectively address these problems, medical care institute managers need to reassess their “organizational culture” to enhance workplaces, mitigate costs, and eventually improve patient outcomes. The magnet designation program constitutes a voluntary initiative for healthcare facilities seeking to attain the highest global credentialing quality patient care and nursing excellence via evidence-based practice. The overall objective of the magnate designation is to cultivate a healthcare culture that enables hospitals to support excellent nursing care contexts (Anderson et al., 2018). Accordingly, attaining magnet status prompts a fundamental culture shift by the healthcare institutions to ensure the program benefits spread beyond nursing practice development and quality improvement. This report examines the magnet designation issue and its impact on care quality and patient safety, professional standards of practice demonstration in the magnet designation, nursing leaders' role in magnet designation, and the appropriate leadership style in addressing the concern.
Impact of Magnet Designation on Care Quality and Patient Safety
Patient safety and quality of care are aspects of organizational improvements embedded within the synthesized “magnetizing” components or forces of magnet designation. The forces include: (a) transformational leadership, (b) empirical outcomes, (c) structural empowerment, (d) new knowledge, improvements, and innovations, and (e) excellent professional practice (Anderson et al., 2018). In this vein, nurses’ conduct and organization are increasingly examined via the magnet recognition initiative. The nurse plays a critical role in attaining commendable and positive medical services thresholds (Pabico & Graystone, 2018). Accordingly, nurses directly interact with patients, thus assessing their contribution constitute an essential step that medical institute managers could accomplish (Kutney-Lee et al., 2015). As earlier noted, magnet recognition focuses on innovation, quality patient care, and nursing excellence (Anderson et al., 2018).
Quality patient care is the satisfaction derived from the patient outcomes improvements realized from the provided medical intervention. Patients visit healthcare facilities seeking relief from their deteriorated health conditions or illnesses. That said, nurses need to cultivate an environment that facilitates trust with their clients. In this way, the patient develops confidence in the health institute since the accorded procedures are well comprehended (Kutney-Lee et al., 2015). Therefore, the magnet designation develops a positive relationship between the patient and the nurse geared towards offering quality patient care. Moreover, the initial procedure should entail managing the patient condition to alleviate suffe...
