The changing health care environment is requiring nurse executives within a hospital setting to design and implement innovative workforce practices that will both improve patient outcomes and lower costs. Since registered nurses comprise the largest percentage of a hospital's workforce, finding ways to incorporate them in these efforts is essential. The Magnet Recognition Program through the American Nurses Credentialing Center is one successful evidence-based strategy that can be adopted to engage nurses in quality improvement processes. This article describes how two community hospitals used the principles of the Magnet Recognition Program to develop and implement new approaches to meet the health care imperative of providing safer, high-quality, cost-effective care.
不断变化的医疗环境要求医院环境中的护士管理人员设计并实施创新的劳动力管理措施,以改善患者治疗效果并降低成本。由于注册护士占医院劳动力的比例最大,因此找到将他们纳入这些工作的方法至关重要。美国护士资格认证中心的磁石认可计划是一项成功的循证策略,可用于促使护士参与质量改进过程。本文描述了两家社区医院如何运用磁石认可计划的原则来开发并实施新方法,以满足提供更安全、高质量、具有成本效益的护理这一医疗需求。
