The Magnet Recognition Program® is the gold standard in measuring a healthcare organization’s nursing excellence. Magnet as we know it today is the culmination of over 30 years of research initiated by Nurse Scientist Margaret L. McClure, RN, EdD, FAAN and the American Academy of Nursing (AAN) in response to a nation-wide nursing shortage in the early 1980s. McClure studied the practice environments of hospitals that were able to successfully attract and retain nurses during this critical time, teaming with the AAN to identify similar qualities shared by these organizations, which they named the “14 Forces of Magnetism,” later refined to the “5 Magnet Components” we recognize today: COMPONENTS OF MAGNET Based on this ever-evolving research, the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) periodically updates their rigorous Magnet Recognition Program® requirements based upon emerging evidence and healthcare trends, shaping the advancement of successful nursing practice. Most recently, the ANCC updated their requirements in the 2014 Magnet Manual, requiring 49 exemplary examples of nursing excellence or “Sources of Evidence (SOE)”. These SOEs provide nurses with an opportunity to demonstrate how their organization meets the Magnet standards. In fact, RRUCLA is one of the first re-designating hospitals to submit a document using the 2014 Magnet Manual! Why is Magnet Recognition Important? Magnet status is the highest honor awarded by the ANCC and recognizes RRUCLA nurses’ ability to provide quality patient care and to initiate innovations in their professional nursing practice. It ensures that UCLA is able to attract and retain the highest level of nursing professionals to provide excellent patient care. As the public grows increasingly medically savvy, they rely on Magnet® designation as an important indication of quality patient care when choosing healthcare providers. The Magnet Recognition Program® advances 3 goals within health care organizations: 1. Promote quality in a setting that supports professional practice 2. Identify excellence in the delivery of nursing services to patients and families 3. Disseminate best practices in nursing care You can access the Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center 2015 Magnet Redesignation Document by logging on to the UCLA Health Nursing website at http://nursing.uclahealth.org/body.cfm?id=215 3 MAGNET COMPONENT #1: TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP Nursing Strategic Plan Magnet Standard: Nursing’s mission, vision, values and strategic plan align with UCLA Health’s priorities to improve performance.

RRUCLA Evidence: The Professional Practice Model (PPM) at UCLA Health is exemplary because it was conceived and advanced over time through the collaborative efforts of clinical nurses and their nurse leaders utilizing the Professional Role Development Strategic Initiative. The purpose of this Initiative is to strengthen RN professional role autonomy and decision-making authority, ensuring empowerment is lived and experienced by all registered nurses at UCLA. Access the RRUCLA Evidence: Read more about RRUCLA’s Professional Practice Model and how our outstanding nurses utilize the PPM to advance nursing practice in the following SOEs: PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE MODEL - EP1 Evaluation of the Professional Practice Model Nursing Admin 7E/5EMS Using the PPM to Implement a Teamwork-Based Care Delivery Model on 7W 7W Nurse Satisfaction Survey Overview All Units RESULTS OF THE PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE MODEL - EP2EO NURSE SATISFACTION DATA - EP3EO 14 MAGNET COMPONENT #3: EXEMPLARY PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE Care Delivery System Magnet Standard: RRUCLA nurses are guided by the UCLA Health Department of Nursing’s Professional Practice Model, our organizational vision, and the relationship-based care delivery model to create partnerships with patients and their families. Nurses strive to understand each patient as a unique person with individualized goals and preferences. Further, in order to ensure continuity of care, nurses document these specific needs in CareConnect. The “patient story” screen enables nurses to capture information that is meaningful to the patient and facilitates a context for patient and family partnership with clinicians. RRUCLA Evidence: UCLA Health’s Care Delivery System is Relationship-Based Care (RBC). Key elements of RBC include: • • • • • • Professional nursing practice is patient-centered; all decisions are centered around the unique needs of our patients and their families. Interprofessional communication and teamwork is incorporated into care delivery on behalf of the patient. The patient and the patient’s family are seen as persons (body, mind, and spirit) by all care providers. Careful scheduling of patient assignments allows for continuity of care. “Care of self” is important to maintain optimum health. This fosters empathy for the experience of others and for being a productive member of the nursing care team. Nurses know that each person’s unique life story determines how he or she will experience an illness.

Our data is then sent to the American Nurses Association (ANA) National Database of Nursing Quality Indicators (NDNQI) and to the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN), where it is incorporated into the national mean score for all academic medical centers. Our Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) scores are also reported to the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services’ (CMS) Hospital Compare website. RRUCLA Evidence: We benchmark our performance against the ANA’s NDNQI academic medical center mean for falls with injury and hospital-acquired pressure ulcers – stage II & above. Falls with Injuries: The majority of inpatient units at RRUCLA (14/17) outperformed the NDNQI benchmark mean for the majority of the last eight quarters reported for falls with Injury. Hospital-Acquired Pressure Ulcers (HAPU): The majority of inpatient units at RRUCLA (10/15) outperformed the NDNQI benchmark mean the majority of the last eight quarters reported for HAPU – stage II & above. For central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) and catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTI), UCLA Health has chosen to benchmark our performance against the National Healthcare Safety Network (NHSN) Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) cohort pooled mean. Central-Line Associated Bloodstream Infections: The majority of inpatient units at RRUCLA (12/23) outperformed the NHSN benchmark mean the majority of the last eight quarters reported for CLABSI. Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections: The majority of RRUCLA inpatient units (2/8) did not outperform the NHSN benchmark mean the majority of the last eight quarters reported for CAUTI. To improve our CAUTI rates, house-wide surveillance began in Q2 2014. Additionally, the organization has created a multidisciplinary taskforce to review best practices, create a nurse-driven protocol to remove indwelling urinary catheters, and provide house-wide education on the details of the maintenance bundle practices. This taskforce includes participation from nursing leadership, physicians, IT leaders, and clinical nurses.

Speak up! Be excited to share the great work you do for pts every day! Appraisers are peers – They want you to succeed! More questions = Appraiser’s curiosity: They want to learn more about the Best Practice on your unit, not grill you! Clarify, Amplify, Verify – Appraisers are here to validate the great things they read in our Magnet Document – so be sure to read up on where your unit is mentioned! (www.uclahealthmagnet.org Login = uclarr Password = magnet8114) Also, share your unit’s 3 Exemplars! Describe then demonstrate Provide an overview of a larger topic, then WHEN TELLING YOUR STORY… narrow focus to your unit/practice/etc. EXAMPLE: “At RRUCLAMC, RNs have many resources to ensure conditions are safe & sanitary for our patients. On our unit, we are proud of our efforts around implementing a new hospital-wide standard for CHG bathing…”) No Cognitive Leaps! The details – people & committees involved, their actions, etc. – are the most interesting and compelling part of the story. Take a few minutes to brag about the exceptional work you & your colleagues accomplished! Stay Pronoun- Free! Don’t assume the Appraiser knows who you are LANGUAGE ADVICE: talking about when you say “We” or “They” – who/which committee did this work? Recognize colleagues & resource structures by name! Fun Fact– the only pronoun allowed is “I” No Passive Voice! Advances in Professional Nursing Practice don’t “just happen” – You move it forward every day through your dedicated & strategic actions, so make sure you use an “active voice” when sharing your great work! EXAMPLE: Not: “We saw CLABSI rates were high, so the unitbased Infection Prevention group as formed.” Instead: “The UPC recognized our unit’s CLABSI rates were high, and decided to form an Infection Prevention group. The UPC did this by recruiting staff via email and during staff meetings…” Pass the Ball! Share the story telling! Make sure no one person dominates the interview, chime in if your colleague forgets to mention a detail, plan beforehand and split the story between your colleagues! Praise your colleagues for a job well done! Recognition and comradery between colleagues is always viewed as a positive – Plus it feels pretty darn good, too! 27 COMING SOON TO YOUR UNIT: MAGNET CART ROUNDS! Be on the lookout for a visit from the Magnet Cart on your unit, say ‘Hello’ to the wonderful Resource Team Magnet Champions, and get ready to have some Magnet fun! Play a Magnet game, learn more about our Magnet Journey, prep for our upcoming site visit, and grab a treat!
