UN Sustainable Development Goals(SDG)
This innovation contributes to the following SDG(s)
SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 3
Ensure healthy lives and promote well-being for all at all ages

The UN explains: "Significant strides have been made in increasing life expectancy and reducing some of the common killers responsible for child and maternal mortality.

Major progress has also been made on increasing access to clean water and sanitation, reducing malaria, tuberculosis, polio and the spread of HIV/AIDS.

However, many more efforts are needed to control a wide range of diseases and address many different persistent and emerging health issues."

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 8
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all

The UN explains: "Roughly half the world’s population still lives on the equivalent of about US$2 a day. And in too many places, having a job doesn’t guarantee the ability to escape from poverty. This slow and uneven progress requires us to rethink and retool our economic and social policies aimed at eradicating poverty."

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL 10
Reduce inequality within and among countries

The UN explains: "The international community has made significant strides towards lifting people out of poverty. The most vulnerable nations – the least developed countries, the landlocked developing countries and the small island developing states – continue to make inroads into poverty reduction. However, inequality still persists and large disparities remain in access to health and education services and other assets."

Description of Project Magnet4Europe
Over 23 million Europeans work in health care. Burnout, anxiety, sleep disorders, depression, and associated stigma are more common among health care workers, and exact a huge toll on individuals and families, particularly on women who are the majority of health care workers, and on society by erosion of productivity and safety of health services. Magnet4Europe transfers, modifies, scales up, and evaluates an evidence-based model of organizational redesign of clinical work environments to enhance workers’ wellbeing, retention, productivity, and patient outcomes. The Magnet model of workplace redesign has been adopted by 490 hospitals in 6 countries but has been slow to take root in Europe despite substantial interest as evidenced by letters from 84 European hospitals in 5 countries (Belgium, England, Germany, Ireland, Sweden) to participate in Magnet4Europe. Proof of concept of transferability of Magnet to differently organized and financed health care systems was shown in 2 pilots. Magnet4Europe modifies the Magnet model with stakeholder co-designed adaptations for Europe, one-to-one twinning with Magnet recognized hospitals, a learning collaborative including policymakers to promote success and sustainability, and a critical mass of institutions promoting innovation, attracting public interest, and fostering replication. Magnet4Europe uses a mixed method design to determine direct and indirect individual and collective health outcomes and cost effectiveness; it will improve mental health, reduce sickness absence, positively impact productivity and economic results by redesigned clinical work environments that promote mental health. The project will inform workplace mental health policies based on evidence with applicability beyond health care. Coordination is by experienced partners that implemented the FP7-RN4CAST project in 12 EU countries producing 70+ scientific papers, influencing EU and national policies to improve nurse retention and patient outcomes.
