The Influence of Magnet Designation on Nursing Leadership Development in Healthcare Institutions
Abstract Magnet designation refers to a level of distinction that a healthcare facility can complete in order to achieve a higher level of excellence. This paper examines the background of this distinction and how it can potentially force hospitals and the staff teams within them to reach a higher level of quality of care, including better outcomes for patients, and greater satisfaction for members of staff. Examining a range of different research papers on this topic, the findings show without any uncertainty, that magnet certification is beneficial to a hospital or healthcare facility. Magnet distinction causes all the parties involved to work at a higher level of excellence, setting a strong example for all involved. In fact, the research is so compelling in this regard; it shows that when a facility loses its Magnet standing, the facility generally suffers, having less positive outcomes and levels of contentment for team members. Finally, this paper explores what all these findings imply for the good and improvement of the nurse leader.

Evidence is mounting that taking the Journey to Magnet Excellence™ has a dramatic impact on quality, service, cost, and human resource measures” (Drenkcard, 2010). Thus, this designation helps empower organizations to engage in practices that ensure they run a tighter ship, fostering more positive outcomes for people. This is because such a distinction pushes for better clinical practices that are higher in quality. It also helps healthcare professionals to pinpoint superior practices within the greater delivery of nursing services to patients. This recognition also offers a means for sharing and spreading the most ideal...
