Glossary of terms


Full operation- the program becomes integrated into practitioner, organizational, and community practices, policies, and procedures. At this point, the implemented program becomes fully operational with full staffing complements and all of the realities of “doing business” impinging on the newly implemented magnet program. Once fully operational, practitioners carry out the magnet program with proficiency and skill, administrators support and facilitate new practices, and the community has adapted to the presence of the magnet program.


Initial implementation- requires attempts to implement new practices effectively and make changes in the overall magnet environment. Changes in skill levels require education, practice, and time to mature. The program is struggling to begin and confidence in the decision to adopt the program is being tested during this stage of implementation.


Program installation- after a decision is made to begin implementing MSAP, there are tasks that need to be accomplished; these activities define the installation stage of implementation. Resources are being consumed in active preparation for actually doing things differently in keeping with the tenets of MSAP and structural supports necessary to initiate the program are put in place.
