Focus On: Magnet Recognition®

ZynxCare can support your organization on the journey toward Magnet Recognition®.*

Zynx Health understands the challenges of achieving and maintaining Magnet Recognition®. In offering interdisciplinary evidence-based plans of care delivered with robust content management technology, Zynx enables your organization to implement an evidence-based approach towards successfully attaining Magnet Recognition status.

Supporting the 14 Forces of Magnetism with Evidence-Based Content
With ZynxCare, your organization has access to the most current evidence addressing more than 140 patient problems, medical conditions, and procedures. This content can help your organization’s efforts in quality improvement, staff education, nursing research, policy and procedure development, and continuing education.

Enabling Content Management Throughout Your Organization
With AuthorSpace™, the Zynx online content management environment, your clinicians have the power to:

  • Customize Zynx plan of care templates
  • Incorporate current quality and performance measures into practice
  • Immediately access context-specific evidence
  • Link out to abstracts and full-text articles from CINAHL and PubMed
  • Create links to relevant organizational policies and procedures

Pushing the Evidence to the Bedside
Zynx Health offers evidence-based content that is dynamic and can ultimately be used where it matters most—at the point of care. All plans of care and documentation content customized in Zynx can be exported as paper forms or electronically into one of Zynx’s electronic health record (EMR) partner systems.
