- 83.25% of registered nurses at AdventHealth Littleton hold a baccalaureate degree or higher.
- AdventHealth Littleton’s efforts to reduce Central Line-Associated Blood Stream Infections (CLABSIs) and Catheter-Associated Urinary Tract Infections (CAUTIs) have resulted in 100% of inpatient units outperforming the national benchmark for the majority of eight quarters.
- AdventHealth Littleton also outperformed the benchmark for patients left without being seen in the emergency department, surgical errors in the ambulatory setting, and for its patient experience data.
The Commission noted that AdventHealth Littleton demonstrated the qualities of a Magnet culture with its transformational leadership, structural empowerment, exemplary professional practice, and an ongoing commitment to nursing excellence.
“A Magnet designation is an award that reflects our entire hospital, and I want to thank our nurses for taking the profession so seriously and for doing incredible work every day,” said Rick Dodds, President & CEO of AdventHealth Littleton. “Participating in Magnet is a way of saying we want to be better than average. It takes intentionality to be the best, and this designation is a reflection of AdventHealth Littleton’s work to become a preeminent hospital.”
