AdventHealth Littleton is honored to receive its second American Nurses’ Credentialing Center Magnet designation from the Commission of Magnet. The Magnet designation is given to hospitals that are considered to be the gold standard for nursing practice and innovation.
AdventHealth Littleton was recognized for exemplary practices and outcomes including:
- AdventHealth Littleton’s nursing leadership mentorship program was recognized for not only supporting new nurse leaders but also supporting retention. With the program, AdventHealth Littleton has seen a 92.3% nurse leader retention rate.
- 83.25% of registered nurses at AdventHealth Littleton hold a baccalaureate degree or higher.
- AdventHealth Littleton’s efforts to reduce Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSIs) and Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) have resulted in 100% of inpatient units outperforming the national benchmark for the majority of eight quarters.
- AdventHealth Littleton also outperformed the benchmark for patients left without being seen in the emergency department, surgical errors in the ambulatory setting, and for its patient experience data.
The Commission noted that AdventHealth Littleton demonstrated the qualities of a Magnet culture with its transformational leadership, structural empowerment, exemplary professional practice, and an ongoing commitment to nursing excellence.
“A Magnet designation is an award that reflects our entire hospital, and I want to thank our nurses for taking the profession so seriously and for doing incredible work every day,” said Rick Dodds, President and CEO of AdventHealth Littleton. “Participating in Magnet is a way of saying we want to be better than average. It takes intentionality to be the best, and this designation is a reflection of AdventHealth Littleton’s work to become a preeminent hospital.”
AdventHealth Littleton is one of only 18 hospitals in Colorado to receive the prestigious Magnet designation. Congratulations on this incredible achievement!
