Magnet recognition is one of the many responses to the call for quality of care of the ANCC's Magnet Recognition Program. The significance of achieving Magnet status indicates a hospital that succeeded in creating an atmosphere that nurtures evidence-based practice in nursing practice. The nurses are free to exercise professional autonomy. The particular hospital becomes known for its excellence in quality effective and efficient nursing care. Physician retention, early patient discharge, effective billing, and ancillary caregivers are not criteria for Magnet status.
