Magnet Recognition Program in US The United States (US) healthcare system faces a myriad of burgeoning problems. The issues range from dynamic technological changes, escalating health care costs, the national nurses’ shortage, medical fraud, constrained practices related to managed care to racial and gender imbalance in the health care delivery (Lasater, Richards, Dandapani, Burns, & McHugh, 2019). Amidst the numerous encounters, some hospitals are more strategic and effective in dealing with these problems. The American Nurses Credentialing Center’s (ANCC) Magnet Recognition Program for nursing excellence recognizes and awards such health care organizations among its peers.

Research Critique Dewing, J., & O’Meara, B. L. (2013). Introducing intentional Rounding: a pilot project. Nurs Stand, 28, 37-44. The study aimed to examine the effectiveness of intentional Rounding and to examine its effects on patient satisfaction and outcomes at the East Sussex Healthcare NHS Trust in England. The study hypothesized that intentional Rounding would lead to improved patient outcomes and satisfaction. To obtain results, the researchers conducted a two-stage pilot study of intentional Rounding at two public hospitals in the NHS trust. The first stage involved six wards. Of the six wards, three were adult in-patient wards, one was an adult out-patient ward, one was a children’s ward, and another was the maternity ward. The second stage involved all children and adult’s out-patient and in-patient services. Senior nursing and midwifery leaders, as well as matrons in the two hospitals, renamed the term ‘intentional rounding’ to ‘essential care rounds’ for adult rounds and ‘top-to-toe’ care rounds for children rounds. This was because patients had previously not responded well to the term intentional Rounding. The study did not need any ethical approval…
