UAMS Medical Center Achieves Magnet® Recognition for Clinical Care and Nursing Excellence.

About the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®

ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® is the highest distinction of nursing excellence, and UAMS is one of less than 10% of U.S. health care organizations to have earned Magnet® designation. It signifies that an organization has taken every effort to promote the empowerment, engagement, and development of nurses. See the UAMS Magnet Document with stories of Nursing Excellence that was submitted.

This evidence included 122 examples of evidence-based initiatives, quality improvement projects, research, interdisciplinary collaboration, and other narratives demonstrating nursing excellence throughout UAMS Health. We also underwent a site visit from the ANCC Magnet program appraisers on October 2-4. On November 20, we got to celebrate our hard earned Magnet® Designation.
