TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Magnet Children's Hospitals: Leading Knowledge Development and Quality Standards for Inpatient Pediatric Fall Prevention Programs JO - Journal of Pediatric Nursing A1 - Graf, Elaine SP - 122 EP - 127 VL - 26 IS - 2 N2 - Magnet hospitals are required to monitor nursing-sensitive indicators and be above the mean/median of national benchmarks for those indicators. When there is no valid national benchmark, as is the case for most of the pediatric indicators, a hospital seeking Magnet designation or redesignation is charged with taking a leadership role in developing a mechanism that leads to the establishment of a national benchmark for the indicator of choice. This article will present the efforts taken by Magnet Children's hospitals to establish valid pediatric screening tools and benchmark inpatient pediatric falls.
