title: Organizational commitment to professional practice models.
abstract: Magnet hospitals must show evidence of professional practice models. A professional practice organizational environment is necessary, but not sufficient, to create professional practice models. The authors analyze the relationship between a professional practice environment and a professional practice and explore organizational commitments required to ensure professional practice at the unit level.
