“Innovation is using knowledge to create ways
and services that are new (or perceived as
new) in order to transform systems. It
requires deconstructing (.ie. challenging)
long-held assumptions and values. The
outcome of innovation in nursing education
is excellence in nursing practice and the
development of a culture that supports risk-
taking creativity and excellence. “

5.  An innovation is a new way of doing
something.
 According to Amabile et al. (1996): "All
innovations begin with creative
ideas....we define innovation as the
successful implementation of creative
ideas within an origin.”

6.  INNOVATION
 CREATIVITY
 ENVIRONMENT

8.  Relative advantage
 Compatibility
 Complexity
 Trial ability
 Observability
 Feasibility

9.  Innovation is to analyze the opportunities or
sources.
 Innovation is both conceptual and perceptual.
 It should be simple and focused.
 Successful innovation aim at being the best

infection committee and policy, some have
even recruited Infection control nurses (ICNs).

21.  Triage based emergency care-

offering a greater connection of patients and
providers with less hassle and expense

33.  Being open to novelty
 Being able to question the emerging
