Policy: The Commission on Magnet designates the achievement of the Magnet credential for a period of four years. To maintain Magnet Recognition, an organization must remain in compliance with the components and policies of the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program® for the duration of its designation.
After designation, the organization moves into a monitoring and evaluation phase, Interim Monitoring. The Interim Monitoring Report (IMR) is due in year 2, by the final day of the organization’s designation anniversary month.
