Why is Magnet important?

Magnet recognition acknowledges the invaluable contributions of nurses in all health care settings and among all populations worldwide. It is a results-driven recognition that fosters nurse engagement and the role nurses play as interprofessional team members to improve patient outcomes and reduce healthcare costs.
