Hospital-Acquired Conditions Reduction Program, Patient Safety, and Magnet Designation in the United States

Conclusions Results indicate that the processes, procedures, and educational aspects associated with Magnet recognition seem to provide important improvements associated with care that is controlled by nursing practice. However, because these improvements do not differ when comparing total HAC scores nor Magnet hospitals with different tenure, there are likely opportunities for Magnet hospitals to continue process improvements focused on HACRP scores.
