“…Nurses working in environments characterized by a visible and influential chief nursing officer, nurse participation in clinical and administrative decision-making, interdisciplinary collaboration, and innovative evidencebased care practices are well situated to influence patient outcomes. Mounting evidence supports the association between Magnet recognition and patient outcomes, including lower mortality (Aiken et al, 1994;Evans et al, 2014;Friese et al, 2015;Kutney-Lee et al, 2015;McHugh et al, 2013), lower rates of failure-to-rescue (Kutney-Lee et al, 2015;McHugh et al, 2013), fewer patient falls (Lake, Shang, Klaus, & Dunton, 2010), better nurse-reported quality of care (Kutney-Lee et al, 2015), fewer infections (Barnes et al, 2016), and greater patient satisfaction (Chen, Koren, Munroe, & Yao, 2014;Smith, 2014;Stimpfel et al, 2015).…”

It is well-established that hospitals recognized for good nursing care – Magnet hospitals – are associated with better patient outcomes. Less is known about how Magnet hospitals compare to non-Magnets on quality measures linked to Medicare reimbursement. The purpose of this study was to determine how Magnet hospitals perform compared to matched non-Magnet hospitals on Hospital Value Based Purchasing (VBP) measures. A cross-sectional analysis of three linked data sources was performed. The sample included 3,021 non-federal acute care hospitals participating in the VBP program (323 Magnets; 2,698 non-Magnets). Propensity score matching was used to match Magnet and non-Magnet hospitals with similar hospital characteristics. After matching, linear and logistic regression models were used to examine the relationship between Magnet status and VBP performance. After matching and adjusting for hospital characteristics, Magnet recognition predicted higher scores on Total Performance (Regression Coefficient [RC] = 1.66, p < 0.05), Clinical Processes (RC = 3.85; p < 0.01), and Patient Experience (RC = 6.33; p < 0.001). The relationships between Magnet recognition and the Outcome and Efficiency domains were not statistically significant. Magnet hospitals known for nursing excellence perform better on Hospital VBP measures. As healthcare systems adapt to evolving incentives that reward value, attention to nurses at the front lines may be central to ensuring high-value care for patients.

“…This indicates many health care organizations have prioritized the provision of culturally sensitive care to LGBTQ clients. Clients report higher satisfaction of care when it is culturally appropriate; and data support positive relationships between Magnet recognition and higher scores on formal care satisfaction inventories, like Healthcare Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems evaluations (Chen, Koren, Munroe, & Yao, 2014; Zhu, Dy, Wenzel, & Wu, 2018). Providing culturally appropriate care is an essential transcultural nursing concept; and it will be increasingly important in the future as populations within the United States continue to diversify (Enestvedt et al, 2018).…”

Introduction: Human Rights Campaign annually scores health care treatment of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees and clients among four measured dimensions in its Healthcare Equality Index (HEI). The purpose of this study was to determine if the score organizations earned on the 2018 HEI dimension measuring LGBTQ client services and support correlated with organizations’ American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet® recognition status, a distinction of nursing excellence. Method: Using a secondary data analysis approach, data obtained from Human Rights Campaign that specifically rated LGBTQ client services and support in 2018 HEI participating organizations ( n = 626) were compared with the most recent inventory of American Nurses Credentialing Center Magnet health care organizations ( n = 477). Results: LGBTQ client services and support HEI scores positively correlated with Magnet status ( p = .0002). Discussion: Provision of LGBTQ client services and Magnet recognition is strongly related to higher quality nursing care, suggesting organizations earning Magnet recognition provide more equitable services to its LGBTQ clients.

“…Despite HCAHPS survey results being publicly reported, are associated with increased patient satisfaction (Boev, 2012). There is some evidence that Magnet-designated hospitals perform better on HCAHPS than non-Magnet hospitals (Chen, Koren, Munroe, & Yao, 2014;Kidd, 2013), further supporting a potential association between the work environment and patients' perceptions of care, including medication communication.…”

Patient Perceptions of Provider and Hospital Factors Associated With New Medication Communication

et al. 2016

This research examined provider and hospital factors associated with patients’ perceptions of how often explanations of new medications were “always” given to them, using Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores. HCAHPS results were obtained for October 2012 to September 2013, from 3,420 hospitals and combined with a Magnet-designated hospital listing. Multiple regression examined correlates of new medication communication, including health care provider factors (perceptions of nurse and physician communication) and health care system factors (magnet designation, hospital ownership, hospital type, availability of emergency services, and survey numbers). Nurse and physician communication was strongly associated with new medication communication ( r = .819, p < .001; r = .722, p < .001, respectively). Multivariable correlates included nurse communication ( p < .001), physician communication ( p < .001), hospital ownership, availability of emergency services, and survey numbers. There was a significant relationship between patients’ perceptions of nurse and physician communication and the explanations they had received about their new medications during hospitalization.
