ther Magnet institutions in the Advocate system now include Advocate Good Samaritan Hospital, Advocate Illinois Masonic Medical Center and Advocate Lutheran General Hospital. Magnet designation remains in place for four years, after which a hospital must reapply and submit its practices to another analysis and review process.
   
Christ Medical Center and Hope Children's Hospital was only the fifth organization in the United States to apply for Magnet re-designation under a new national ANCC model that stresses health outcomes rather than structure and process.

Related to the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and the United Church of Christ

add one - Magnet re-designation   

   
While assessing the medical center's outcomes and professional practice standards in an on-site evaluation in July, Magnet surveyors indicated that they were particularly impressed with the hospital resources available to nurses; the depth and breadth of nursing expertise, including the presence of advanced practice nurses throughout the medical center; the campus' electronic information system, known as CareConnection; the level of nursing research; and the enthusiastic involvement in and support for the Magnet process by non-nursing staff.
