Magnet recognition is a credit status program initiated by the American Nurses
Credentialing Center (ANCC) on nursing facilities that exhibit progressive provision of
extemporary care. The facilities must satisfy five components set by ANCC; good leadership,
professional practice, robust empowerment, innovation and quality patient care. Besides,
facilities must strive to uphold the status through enhancing the five components. A major tool
that the organizations can use to monitor progress is through big data. Big data is a large set of
data that can be tabulated to provide patterns about the organization. Magnet facilities provide a
reliable source of data that influences national policies on health care. The paper highlights how
the organization can use big data to indorse the recognition as well as how datasets influence
policymaking in the United States of America.
Big data in the facility is collected from a variety of sources like genomic sequencing,
electronic records, payer records, medical devices, and wearables that show the value of nursing.
The divergent data sources provide information that is of high validity. The facility is large with
600- bed capacity and evaluating the outcome of each patient would not be possible in the
organization. However, big data provide an aggregate to evaluate the outcomes. Typically,
nurses with high credentials have great expertise in practice that helps them to deliver top-notch
services to clients. Big data mechanisms will collect information over a period of time from
different patients with a variety of diseases to give a projection of the outcomes. Data analytics
then utilizes the statistics to match the credential groupings of the nurses with patient outcomes.
Enhanced patients' outcomes include reduced readmission rates reduced mortality and decrease
morbidity: the criteria will indicate an increased value of nursing within the facility.
