Editor's Note
Magnet recognition is associated with better patient care experiences, which may enhance reimbursement for hospitals, this study finds.
Nurse researchers compared 212 Magnet hospitals with 212 non-Magnet hospitals. Patients in Magnet hospitals gave their hospitals higher overall ratings, were more likely to recommend their hospitals, and reported more positive care experiences with nurse communication.
