ABSTRACT

The institutions of the highest quality of health services are called magnetic because they have received accreditation from this perspective, achieving social recognition and fostering nurse satisfaction. The American Association Nursing (AAN) establishing the criteria for institutions to be certified as magnetic are three: Being a hospital with a low turnover rate to other institutions, have a fully staffed and positioned to be a hospital in a competitive job market. The features discussed in these centers are the personal and professional satisfaction, status, the role of the nurse in the quality of patient care, the nurse or patient recruitment and retention of the professional, the relationship medical-Nurse, decentralization of decision making, clinical leadership, autonomy and responsibility in patient care, ad flexible work schedules. Research has shown magnetic organizations: morbidity and mortality rate, low rate of hospital stay, increased patient satisfaction, increased satisfaction with the nursing staff, increased levels of nursing care, lower incidence of accidents and major attraction of nurses. No doubt that the recognition of “Hospitals Magnetic” is the best evidence-based initiative to improve the environment of nursing practice, positioning the health institutions as excellent organizations.
