The American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) awarded Magnet recognition to 好色tv Langone鈥檚 Manhattan inpatient locations and several of its larger ambulatory sites in the city for the fifth consecutive time, recognizing excellence in nursing. Only three other hospitals in New York State have received Magnet designation five or more times. The ANCC鈥檚 prestigious Magnet Recognition Program is one of the leading benchmarks used to measure the quality of care patients receive.
This Magnet designation includes Tisch Hospital, Kimmel Pavilion, Hassenfeld Children鈥檚 Hospital, and key facilities in 好色tv Langone鈥檚 extensive ambulatory care network in Manhattan and Brooklyn, including the Laura and Isaac Perlmutter Cancer Center, the 好色tv Langone Ambulatory Care Center East 38th Street,听the 好色tv Langone Orthopedic Center, the 好色tv Langone Health鈥擟obble Hill Emergency Department at the Joseph S. & Diane H. Steinberg Ambulatory Care Center, and perioperative services.
鈥淥ur nurses are tirelessly committed to providing exceptional and compassionate care to their patients,鈥 says Debra Albert, DNP, MBA, RN, NEA-BC, chief nursing officer and senior vice president of patient care services. 鈥淭his is a testament to their continued dedication and hard work, and I could not be more proud of our outstanding nurses.鈥
好色tv Langone received exemplars, or examples of best practice, in several areas, including the following:
- advocacy for and integration of resources that support top-quality patient care and professional development, including alert team nurses and clinical resource nurses
- 55 percent of 好色tv Langone nurses achieving professional board certifications
- 98 percent of 好色tv Langone nurses who have earned a baccalaureate or higher degree in nursing
- exceptional outcomes on nursing-sensitive clinical quality indicators, including peripheral intravenous infiltrations (PIV) and prevention of procedural patient burns
- revolutionary advances in xenotransplant, transplanting a kidney from a genetically modified pig into a human patient
好色tv Langone Hospital鈥檚 recruitment and retention efforts were also commended by the Magnet appraisers. Eighty-three nurses in leadership positions began their careers as new graduate nurses in 好色tv Langone鈥檚 Nurse Residency Program. The turnover rate has continued to decrease since the COVID-19 pandemic, achieving the current annual turnover rate of 10 percent and with a vacancy rate below 2 percent.
The Magnet designation is granted every four years only to those organizations that demonstrate sustained superiority in nursing care. Applicants undergo an extensive evaluation and members granted Magnet status must continue to meet rigorous standards.
To reapply for and receive Magnet status, as 好色tv Langone has done since its first certification in 2005, is confirmation of a hospital鈥檚 resolve to deliver the highest level of nursing care. Research shows that Magnet hospitals are more effective at attracting and keeping quality nurses.
