    Magnet designation has also gained popularity over the past decade. While several reports have suggested improvement in outcomes among patients undergoing surgery at Magnet versus non-Magnet hospitals,10,18 other studies have not identified a difference in outcomes between Magnet vs non-Magnet hospitals.21 In the current study, while assessing the contribution of Magnet status relative to Leapfrog volume criteria and safety grade A status, Magnet status alone did not contribute to improved outcomes after surgery.

    Citation Excerpt :

    Discussions around differing impacts of Magnet in high skill specialty areas are not new. While potentially underpowered [70], a study exploring the impacts of Magnet on outcomes from critically ill children (so an indirect examination of magnet on critical care nurses) questioned the utility of Magnet for specialty care delivery [24]. While in no way undermining the clear and powerful overall effects of Magnet status on nurses [17,20,33,71] and thus patient outcomes longitudinally [72], the scale of these studies limits the capacity to focus in on specific specialty areas such as Emergency care that may especially benefit (or not) from consideration of structural empowerment, professional practice, knowledge & innovation or leadership [43,73].
