All the elements of the Magnet model lead to our ultimate goal - Quality Outcomes.
Each element is necessary to support our work - The Practice of Professional Nursing.
Looking at the model this way, it is clear that all the concepts connect. Great leaders create a structure for staff to be involved and to do their work - which supports the development of great nurses - which leads them to explore the evidence and look for new and innovative ways to improve patient care - which results in great outcomes. This is what we do at Vanderbilt every day.
