Problem and Context: Despite nursing's potential to contribute valuable solutions to healthcare challenges, dedicated nursing innovation development programs are scarce. This scarcity, compounded by a lack of nursing leadership competencies in fostering innovation, inhibits nurses' ability to translate innovative ideas into clinical practice effectively.
Intervention: This Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) project addressed this gap by establishing a structure, process, and technology access based on industry-standard for nursing innovation in the inpatient setting.
Aims and Methods: The project aimed to establish a structure, process, and technology access based on industry-standard for nursing innovation in the inpatient setting, to implement and evaluate the infrastructure and make recommendations for scaling and sustainability of the nursing innovation infrastructure.
Outcomes/Results: Twelve innovations were submitted to an innovation platform, with four progressing for further development. Users found the platform easy to use and intend to use it again. A culture of innovation existed at this Magnet organization, indicated by pre and post assessment high scoring culture of innovation surveys. However, after receiving detailed information about the complex innovation process, nurses’ intention to participate in innovation decreased slightly.
Implications: This nursing innovation program underscores the importance of cultivating nursing voices within the healthcare innovation landscape. Establishing such ecosystems not only harnesses nursing ideas' transformative potential but also enhances healthcare delivery by integrating frontline perspectives into innovation processes.
