There are statistics to demonstrate (please note I didn't say 'prove') better patient care at Magnet facilities; the theory behind this is the greater longetivity, therefor greater skill levels, of the RN's et al at the facility.
The big advantage is in recruitment/retention, and therefor another way to help control budget. After all, it costs money to recruit, and to orient, so making the place more attractive improves recruiting, and keeping them there decreases orientation expenses. Which is all still financial.
