ANCC MAGNET ®
Baylor Scott & White Heart and Vascular Hospital attained Magnet ® recognition for the third consecutive time in 2017 . This third-time designation granted by the American Nurses Credentialing Center ( ANCC ) signifies that the hospital is one out of only 36 hospitals in Texas to have received the third-time designation . According to the ANCC , 452 US healthcare organizations out of over 6,300 US hospitals have achieved Magnet recognition . In addition , approximately 34 % of Magnet-recognized organizations that have attempted three or more designations have been successful .
This recognition is a testament to the hospital leadership ’ s continued dedication to high-quality nursing practice as the Magnet Recognition Program ® distinguishes healthcare organizations that meet rigorous standards for nursing excellence . This credential is the highest national honor for professional nursing practice .
To achieve initial Magnet recognition , organizations must pass a rigorous and lengthy process that demands widespread participation from leadership and staff . This process includes an electronic application , written patient care documentation , an on-site visit , and a review by the Commission on Magnet Recognition . Healthcare organizations may reapply for Magnet recognition every four years based on adherence to Magnet concepts and demonstrated improvements in patient care and quality .
