"The Most Attractive Choice"
Why choose a Magnet^TM hospital? There are multiple benefits for you, your family and community.
Independently sponsored research shows that Magnet-designated facilities:

* Consistently outperform non-magnet organizations
* Deliver better patient outcomes
* Experience increased time spent at the bedside of patients
* Have shorter lengths of patient stay
* Have lower patient mortality rates
* Have lower incidence of needlestick injuries
* Enjoy increased nurse retention and recruitment rates
* Report lower rates of nurse burnout and higher rates of job satisfaction
* Report higher patient satisfaction rates \t

Magnet nurses are vigilant. Attentive. They spend more time at patients' bedsides providing compassionate, expert care than at most other hospitals. Nurses are the primary source of help and support for patients at the most vulnerable times in their lives . . . and Magnet hospitals empower nurses to do what they know is right. They can spend the time they need with patients instead of paperwork. You can be sure that Magnet^TM nurses have the support, autonomy and the tools they need to do their work well.
Patient care is Magnet's highest priority . . . day and night. You won't just hear about quality from a Magnet organization, you'll experience it.

"Improving Patient Care"

It bears repeating. Magnet^TM-designated facilities consistently outperform non-magnet organizations, delivering better patient outcomes. Shorter lengths of stay. Lower mortality rates. Increased patient satisfaction rates. That's the short list of third-party research results substantiating the fact that Magnet^TM is the most attractive choice in health care.

"Creating A Positive Health Care Environment"

Today, hospitals and medical centers are more than just places to visit when you're sick. They're dedicated to keeping you healthy.
Magnet organizations have transformed the hospital environment . . . fostering innovative, patient-focused ideas and raising the bar on patient care. Nurses and staff work collaboratively, creating a magnetic culture in which new ideas and excellent work practices thrive.
High employee morale = high patient satisfaction. Expect nothing less.
