For years, innovation in nursing has been giving healthcare organizations new insight, creating possibilities that previously didn’t exist, opening doors to opportunity, progressing the nursing profession, and bringing value to care delivery, outcomes and patient experience.
By nature, nurses are inquisitive and with healthcare’s swift pace, ongoing advancements and ever-changing technology, this is a good thing. The opportunity to ask questions, ponder processes or consider alternative ways of thinking is natural, necessary and the first step in a nurse’s journey to innovation. One of the common misconceptions about innovation is that it is only for executives, leaders or managers; however, innovation is for everyone!
On Friday, Oct. 19, all nurses – no matter their role or job title – who are curious about innovation should plan to attend Cleveland Clinic’s 6th Annual Nursing Innovation Summit. The summit will be held at the Cleveland Marriott East in Warrensville Heights, Ohio from 7:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EST (opening remarks begin at 8 a.m.) and will feature a number of globally renowned speakers, presenters, panelists and more.
