Demonstrating the Value of Ambulatory Care Nursing Through Measurement of Nurse-Sensitive Clinical Quality Indicators in the 2023 Magnet® Application Manual.

The ANCC Magnet Recognition Program's® mission and vision is to continually elevate patient care and transform healthcare globally through an environment where nurses and the interprofessional team flourish. Reflecting the larger shifts in the healthcare delivery system from inpatient to ambulatory care settings, the Commission on Magnet® continues to emphasize the contributions of nurses in ambulatory care settings in the 2023 Magnet Application Manual®. This Magnet® Perspectives column will discuss the valuable role of ambulatory care nurses across the continuum of care and review new requirements in the 2023 Magnet Application Manual for measurement of nurse-sensitive outcomes in the ambulatory care setting using nationally benchmarked measures. In addition, potential sources of nationally benchmarked ambulatory data and selection of ambulatory care outcome measures will be discussed.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the 2023 Magnet® Application Manual.

ABSTRACT: The mission and vision of the Magnet Recognition Program® is to continually elevate patient care and transform healthcare globally through an environment where nurses and the interprofessional team flourish. Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) affect healthcare workers and patients. The Commission on Magnet Recognition further integrated structures and processes involving DEI into the 2023 Magnet® Application Manual to emphasize the importance of organizations' enculturation of these initiatives as a part of the mission and vision. This Magnet Perspectives column reviews the organizational overview items and sources of evidence addressing DEI in the 2023 Magnet Application Manual and offers resources for nursing leadership.
