“Healthcare organizations across the globe apply the Magnet® Model framework to achieve excellence in nursing practice, thriving work environments, and improved patient, nursing, and organizational outcomes. The International Council of Nurses’ (ICN) Charter for Change (2023) commissioned actionable measures for change to advance the nursing profession into the future. This article explores the synergies between the Magnet Recognition Program® and the ICN Charter for Change, aiming to demonstrate that integrating the principles of both models can provide a roadmap for healthcare organizations to enhance
nursing professional development, foster a culture of innovation and evidence-based practice, and ultimately improve healthcare outcomes for patients and communities globally.”

“Professional nursing makes valuable contributions to patient care, the nursing workforce, and organizational outcomes. The ICN Charter echoes the importance of highlighting the value nurses contribute to healthcare. Empirical outcome data in RN satisfaction surveys is the voice of nursing in organizations; outperformance in this area has been prioritized by
the Commission on Magnet Recognition as a mandatory requirement for Magnet designation. Its role in the attraction and retention of nurses, identified in the original Magnet study, continues to ring true today. Empirical outcome data in the clinical quality indicators and patient experience reflect nursing’s ownership and accountability for clinical quality and the patient experience in the organization”
