Rural magnet hospitals of excellence. Part 1.
Although almost half of the hospitals in the United States are rural and small, they are often not seen as leaders in innovation. However, many practices just now being adopted by large hospitals have been used in rural hospitals for many years. To understand excellence in rural hospitals, the authors present a study of rural hospitals of excellence, using procedures from the 1982 Magnet Hospitals Study. Part 2 will be published in the February issue.
