Inova Fair Oaks Hospital Attains Third Magnet Designation

Hospital is among 8 percent of Magnet recipients nationwide

Inova Fair Oaks Hospital staff celebrate the Magnet® designation earlier this year. The honor recognizes the hospital’s efforts in nursing.

The American Nurses Credentialing Center again has designated Inova Fair Oaks Hospital (IFOH) a Magnet® facility. This prestigious recognition  — IFOH’s third since 2009 — honors the work and culture of nursing.

“Magnet designation is a privilege and it is valued by our staff, patients, providers and prospective employees as a sign of distinction and honor,” says Deborah Fulbrook, Chief Nursing Officer at IFOH. “It has been demonstrated that Magnet hospitals achieve higher patient satisfaction scores, higher quality outcomes, and [the recognition] further supports our journey for all staff engagement.”

The achievement places IFOH in the company of just 8 percent of hospitals nationwide. To date, only 477 of the approximately 5,000 hospitals in the United States have attained Magnet status. To be named a Magnet facility, IFOH submitted a written application and completed a three-day site survey with three Magnet appraisers who spoke extensively with the hospitals’ nurses and nurse leaders, physicians, providers and ancillary partners about the work they do every day.
