Methodist Mansfield Medical Center Honored With Pathway to Excellence® Re-Designation
Methodist Mansfield Medical Center has achieved Pathway to Excellence® Program re-designation by the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC). The Pathway to Excellence designation identifies health care organizations that create work environments where nurses can flourish and substantiates the professional satisfaction of nurses working at Methodist Mansfield.
“This prestigious accomplishment identifies Methodist Mansfield as one of the best places to work for nurses,” says Nora Frasier, MBA, RN, FACHE, NEA-BC, vice president and chief nursing
officer, Methodist Mansfield. “Methodist Mansfield fosters a positive and nurturing work environment for nurses so they can provide the best care for our patients.”
The Pathway to Excellence re-designation is granted based on the confirmed presence of characteristics known as “The Pathway to Excellence Criteria.” For an organization to earn the Pathway to Excellence distinction, it must successfully undergo a thorough review process that documents foundational quality initiatives in creating a positive work environment — as defined by nurses and supported by research. These initiatives must be present in the facility’s practices, policies, and culture. Nurses in the organization verify the presence of the criteria in the organization through participation in a completely confidential online survey.
As a Pathway-designated institution, Methodist Mansfield is committed to nurses, to what nurses identify as important to their practice, and to valuing nurses’ contributions in the workplace. This designation confirms to the public that nurses working at Methodist Mansfield know their efforts are supported. The honor encourages other nurses to join their colleagues in this desirable and nurturing environment.
“Receiving this achievement shows our commitment to excellence in nursing,” says John Phillips, FACHE, Methodist Mansfield president. “We’re proud of our dedicated nursing staff for the hard work and contributions they make to our patients every single day.”
