Abstract

Librarian involvement in the Magnet process is vital to an organization attempting to achieve the transformation required for accreditation. Magnet criteria for accreditation are in direct alignment with the Medical Library Association's recommendations for professional librarians to support evidence-based processes and decision-making within a health care environment. Specific criteria required of the New Knowledge, Innovations, and Improvements component of the Magnet process are described along with recommendations for librarian involvement. The framework outlined in this article is one method for librarians to facilitate organizational achievement of Magnet accreditation.
