Saratoga Hospital has again been awarded Magnet recognition for nursing excellence, the highest national honor for professional nursing practice.
\nIt marks the fourth time the hospital has attained Magnet status.
\nStudies show Magnet recognition provides significant benefits, including: lower risk of 30-day mortality; lower risk of failure to rescue from complications; higher patient satisfaction with nurse communication, availability of help and receipt of discharge information; higher job satisfaction levels among nurses.
\nMary Jo LaPosta, Ph.D., R.N., chief nursing officer and senior vice president of patient care and organizational excellence at Saratoga Hospital, gives much of the credit to the community and its support for Saratoga Hospital\u2019s Nursing Scholarship Program. \u201cEach year, community generosity helps us sustain a nursing workforce whose knowledge, skills and compassion have a direct, positive impact on patient care,\u201d she said.
\nThe gold standard for nursing excellence, Magnet recognition is considered when the public judges healthcare organizations. U.S. News & World Report\u2019s annual showcase of \u201cAmerica\u2019s Best Hospitals\u201d includes Magnet recognition in its ranking criteria for quality of inpatient care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
