What is Magnet?
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

Similarly, the Department of Nursing Strategic Plan is aligned with the
UCLA Health Strategic Plan. The Nursing Strategic Plan is updated
annually at the Nursing Strategic Planning Retreat led by Chief Nursing
Officer Heidi Crooks, MA, RN. Here, nurse executives, unit directors, and
clinical nurses collaborate to ensure contributions from all practice
areas and service lines are included. Unit-level goals are then created
using the Nursing Strategic Plan as a guide, thus providing an aligned
vision and continuity across the organization.

MAGNET COMPONENT #3: EXEMPLARY PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
Professional Practice Model
Magnet Standard:
Nurses at UCLA Health own and live the Professional Practice Model to drive the work of nursing
forward for our patients, families, community, and the organization.
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.

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.

Staffing, Scheduling, & Budgeting Processes
Magnet Standard:
The acuity and care needs of patients on the unit, along with the skill-mix of clinicians, affect staffing
decisions. Working together, nurse leaders and clinical nurses have developed staffing plans that strategically
allocate staff resources to meet the needs of their patient population.
RRUCLA Evidence:
Clinical nurses are empowered to adjust RN and support staff assignments/schedules to best adapt to changes
in patient and environmental conditions while maintaining the quality of care. Further, through the work of
the UPC and other shared governance structures, clinical nurses are empowered and encouraged to utilize
trended data gathered on their unit to influence budgetary spending and allocation of resources.
Nurses participate in staffing and scheduling:
o Acuity ratings are documented for each patient every shift
o Lead nurses consult with clinical nurses regarding staffing needs
o Clinical nurses participate in self-scheduling
Nurses participate in recruitment & retention:
o Participation in hiring interviews
o Mentorship to novice nurses
Nurses participate in budgetary data analysis:

vital component of their patient’s interprofessional healthcare
team.
RRUCLA Evidence:
For RRUCLA physicians, nurses, administrative and clinical care
partners, social workers, and therapists, collaboration is the key
to positive patient outcomes. From participation on hospital- and system-wide interprofessional
committees to multidisciplinary care at the patient’s bedside, interprofessional care teams are united
in their shared goal of, “Healing humankind, one patient at a time.”

Accountability, Autonomy, & Competency
Magnet Standard:
Accountability, autonomy, and competency assurance are essential to achieving and maintaining the
highest level of professional nursing care. Structures and processes are in place to ensure that all
healthcare providers are held accountable for their work.
RRUCLA Evidence:
Competencies are assessed annually for all UCLA Health employees. These competency assessments
are combined with self-appraisal and peer feedback to provide a transparent, 360◦ performance
evaluation. Clinical nurses are thereby empowered to use their clinical expertise to advocate for
patients and families, in the same way that nurse leaders advocate on behalf of their clinical nurses,
and that CNO Heidi Crooks advocates for nurses and nursing practice across the health system.

MAGNET COMPONENT #3: EXEMPLARY PROFESSIONAL PRACTICE
Quality of Care Monitoring and Nurse Sensitive Indicators
Magnet Standard:
At UCLA Health, measures of the safety of our patients, quality of nursing care, and patient satisfaction
are collected throughout the year. 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.

MAGNET COMPONENT #4: NEW KNOWLEDGE, INNOVATIONS, & IMPROVEMENT
Research
Magnet Standard:
The Department of Nursing at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center offers a variety of resources to
support the development of clinical nurses in their professional roles of scientist and transferor of
knowledge.
RRUCLA Evidence:
As nurses conduct research, there are multiple structures in place to support dissemination internally,
including:
• The “Investigator” newsletter
• Nursing Research Grand Rounds
• The Annual Nursing Research and Evidence-based Practice Conference
These structures and processes are supported through the Nursing Practice Research Council. UCLA Health
nursing leadership created the Nursing Practice Research Council (NPRC) with a vision to develop and
support innovations that heal humankind through the application of evidence-based knowledge to clinical
practice. The NPRC laid the foundation for research and evidence-based practice (EBP) at UCLA Health and
continues to focus on its mission of increasing the scientific foundation of practice through research conduct
and utilization activities in the following four areas of work:
1) Research development - providing consultation in the design, implementation, analysis, and publication
of nursing research
2) Research utilization – identifying and disseminating clinical research findings that are sufficient and
appropriate to apply to nursing practice
3) Research education – occurring through classes throughout the year and through the annual Research
and Evidence-Based Practice Conference
4) Research dissemination - providing structures and processes for the dissemination of research and other
levels of evidence

Evidence-Based Practice & Innovation
Magnet Standard: Nurses at UCLA Health are encouraged and supported to understand the evidence base for
their clinical practice and to adapt practice to reflect the most current evidence. They are further supported to
design and implement innovative adaptations to care when the current evidence is lacking or an improvement
in care is needed.
RRUCLA Evidence:

A few more quick tips for the Appraiser Interview:
MAGNET APPRAISER
VISIT IS THE EXACT
OPPOSITE OF A
JOINT COMMISSION
VISIT!
 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!
