The Cost and Value of Magnet Designation

The Cost and Value of Magnet Designation

This assignment will help you explore the cost-benefit of the Magnet process.

Many hospitals that are considering Magnet Accreditation or considering not to be reaccredited as Magnet are concerned with the large fees associated with Magnet recognition as well as the staff and consultant cost of Magnet preparation.

You will be creating a PowerPoint presentation that provides a rationale for establishing, continuing, or stopping Magnet designation.

Pretend that your presentation is being given in front of your Senior Leadership Team (both clinical and non-clinical professionals). Your slides need to keep the attention of the group! At the end of the presentation you must give a recommendation to the group start the Magnet designation process, continue Magnet designation or discontinue Magnet designation. Remember, this is a Graduate Finance Course use objective criteria. What is the cost versus benefit of Magnet status? How does Magnet Status bring value to the organization?

Use the Notes feature in PowerPoint as your verbal narrative to the group. Your word for word discussion should not be displayed on the slides, as you will quickly lose the attention of your audience! Since this is a scholarly exercise, you will need to include APA citation and your last slide will be your reference page. The Title Slide and Reference Slide(s) are not included in the 10 slide content requirement.
