Nursing innovation is a fundamental source of progress for health care systems around the world. And nurses innovate to find new information and better ways of promoting health, preventing disease and better ways of care and cure

1. INNOVATIONS
IN
NURSING

2.  The scope of change in health care has been
enormous and the rate at which change occurs
continues to accelerate.
 Today’s technology and therapeutics were
inconceivable even a few decades ago.

4.  The growth of health care profession has been
influenced by those new technologies and therapeutics,
but there are many new technologies and therapeutics
and other influencing factors and forces.
 Innovations can occur at all levels of an educational
organization. Nursing education has growth through
innovations.

5.  The term innovation means a new way of doing
something. It may refer to incremental, radical, and
revolutionary changes in thinking, products,
processes, or organizations. A distinction is typically
made between invention, an idea made manifest,
and innovation, ideas applied successfully.
(Mckeown, 2008)

6.  Innovation is commonly defined as the “introduction of
something new”. a new way of doing something.
 “Innovation is change that creates a new dimension of
performance” many successful innovations improve on
an existing product to make it faster, cheaper or more
efficient.
PETER DRUCKER

7.  “Innovation is the multi-stage process whereby
organizations transforms ideas into new improved
products, service or process in order to advance,
compete and differentiate themselves successfully
in their market place. An innovation can result in
new product or an enhancement of an existing
product such as adding a new feature to the
product.

8.  The aim of innovation is positive change, to
make someone or something better.
 Innovation leading to increased productivity
is the fundamental source of increasing
wealth in an economy.

9. 1. Improved
quality
2. Creation of
new markets
3. Extension
of the product
range
4. Reduced
labour costs
5. Improved

7. Reduced
environmental
damage
8. Replacement of
products/services
9. Reduced
energy
consumption
10. Conformance
to regulations
These goals vary between improvements to products,
processes and services and dispel a popular myth that
innovation deals mainly with new product development.
Most of the goals could apply to any organisation be it a
manufacturing facility, marketing firm, hospital or local

11. Manufacturer
innovation
• where an agent (person or
business) innovates in
order to sell the
innovation.
End-user
innovation
• where an agent (person or
company) develops an
innovation for their own
(personal or in-house) use
because existing products
do not meet their needs.

12. • Change in things (products/services)
which an organization offers.
Product
innovations;
• Changes in the way in which things
are created and delivered
Process
innovations:
• Change in the context in which the
products and services are introduced.
Position
innovations:
• Change in the underlying mental models
which frame what the organization does.
Paradigm
innovations:

13. 1
• Idea creation
2
• Initial experimentation
3
• Feasibility determination
4 •Final application

14.  Idea creation:
 The first step in process of innovation is idea
creation. Thus an idea regarding new thing or the
new way of doing something forms the base of any
innovation.
 Initial experimentation:
 After the idea has been used found out it is initially
used on the trial basis in organization. The effects or
the change is then evaluated

15.  Feasibility determination;
 Once the effects have been evaluated on the
practice it’s feasibility is determined. It includes
finding out it’s cost effectiveness, availability,
accessibility, and universality.
 Final application
 Thus after the innovation is evaluated on all aspects,
it is applied to the discipline, if found effective.

16. Solving the problem
For innovation spend time for brainstorming
Introducing something new product or service
Critical thinking
Addressing the unmet needs

17.  Curious
 Actively explores their environment
 Investigate new possibilities
 Entertains the fantastic
 Takes risks
 Peripatetic
 Self accepting

18.  Makes new connections
 Tolerates ambiguity
 Committed to learning
 Balances intuition and analysis
 Situationally collaborative
 Formally articulates
 Resilient

19.  Persevering
 Flexible/adaptive
 Reflective
 Playful and humorous.

21.  Once innovation occurs, innovations may be spread from the
innovator to other individuals and groups.
 This process has been proposed that the life cycle of
innovations can be described using the 's-curve' or diffusion
curve.
 The s-curve maps growth of revenue or productivity against
time.

22.  In the early stage of a particular innovation, growth is
relatively slow as the new product establishes itself.
 At some point customers begin to demand and the product
growth increases more rapidly.
 New incremental innovations or changes to the product
allow growth to continue.
 Towards the end of its life cycle growth slows and may even
begin to decline.

23.  In the later stages, no amount of new investment in that
product will yield a normal rate of return.
 The s-curve derives from an assumption that new products
are likely to have "product Life". i.e. a start-up phase, a rapid
increase in revenue and eventual decline.
 In fact the great majority of innovations never get off the
bottom of the curve, and never produce normal returns.

24.  Innovative companies will typically be working on new
innovations that will eventually replace older ones.
 Successive s-curves will come along to replace older ones
and continue to drive growth upwards.
 In the figure above the first curve shows a current
technology.

25.  The second shows an emerging technology that
current yields lower growth but will eventually
overtake current technology and lead to even
greater levels of growth.
 The length of life will depend on many factors.

26.  About ways to innovate the service or any procedures is then
any unmet need in your working place to improve operations
 New innovation in nursing of teaching from traditional
classroom setting, technology based setting and clinical
setting and culturally diversity in the classroom and the use
of multimedia and video technique.

27.  Regulatory bodies
 Political organization
 Public research
 Financial institution labor force soul

28.  1. A definite purpose: to be success, there should be
definite aim and purpose. Work out objectives and it
should be clear.
 2. Initiative
 3. Knowledge of facts
 4. Self confidence
 5. Persistent efforts.

29.  Creativity is needed because change is constant.
 Creativity always results in novel solutions.
 These solutions usually have implication or application
beyond their immediate uses.
 New products and new methods are fruits of creativity.
 Creativity helps for modern scientific and psychological
changes in nursing

30.  A constant flow of new ideas is need to procure new
products services, process, procedures and strategies for
dealing with changes occurring in every sphere of endeavor.
 Creativity helps the nurse to acquire move education and
autonomy.
 Helps the nurse to establish independent business
enterprises.

31.  FUSZARRDS innovative teaching strategies in nursing says
that nurse educators are constantly seeking creative
innovative strategies for teaching in the classroom or in the
clinical setting.
 the innovative method of teaching today include:
•Self learning
•critical thinking
•Lecture
•Debate
•Role playing
•Reflective practice.
•Expressive techniques
•Teaching sensitive subjects

32.  The concept of innovation in nursing education has been
addressed on faculty and defined “using knowledge to
create ways and services that are new.”
 In this way students on nursing education perception of
innovation are limited and it is unclear how undergraduate
and graduate students conceptualize innovation learning
experiences.
 This project explored students perception of their
experiences with instructor defined innovative teaching and
learning strategies into four types of nursing education

33.  Comprehensive evaluation is needed to determine the
effectiveness of innovation in nursing education as well as
student responses to new method of teaching
 The project discussed here centers on the perception of
nursing students in four types of nursing program. It serves
as a call to encourage further implementation and
 Evaluate of innovative educational strategies.

34.  Background nursing education is in the midst of
transformation influenced by a number of factors including
wide spread use of technologies, the serious shortage of
nurse faculty and the realization today’s are diverse group
with multiple learning styles.
 Faculties are challenged to capture the attention of the
learner to focus on what the learner knows and to engage
students in their own individual learning experiences

35.  Simply imparting information through lectures through
is not sufficient.
 To create ways and services that is new in order to
transform system.
 It need long term challenging assumptions and values
the outcome of innovation in nursing is excellence in
nursing practice.
 The development of a culture that supports risk.

36.  According to the U.S. Department of Education
(2006) many of the nursing colleges and universities
have not embraced opportunities of newer teaching
methods and content delivery.
 Nursing education today has changed radically
through researches done recently.

37.  The emphasis on memorization is changing towards
understanding.
 Newer techniques of teaching like simulation,
problem solving are becoming popular means of
delivering knowledge related to nursing because of
their effectiveness.
 Variety of audiovisual aids and a widespread use of
computers have made education easier and more
effective.

38.  Curriculum in nursing education is changing drastically from
simple nursing centered criteria to more complex and
comprehensive one.
 There is significant increase in quality of education because
of more availability of skilled personnel for instructing in
nursing.
 Preparation of global nurses
 Transnational acceptance

39.  Ensuring a promising career
 Emergence of new specialists
 Increased opportunities for higher studies
 Diminishing government role

40. Technological including the use of simulative
new delivery method such as e nursing
education,
 Various teaching learning strategies
 Preferred learning styles and approaches.

41. Task Related Actions by Nurse Managers Which Help To
Develop and Maintain Creative Climate:
 1. Providing freedom to experiment without fear of
reprimand.
 2. Maintaining a moderate to amount of work pressure.
 3. Providing challenging yet realistic work goals.
 4. Emphasizing a low level of supervision in performance
tasks.

42.  5. Delegating responsibilities.
 6. Encouraging use of a creative problem solving process to solve
unstructured problems.
 7. Encourage participation in decision-making and goal setting.
 8. Providing immediate and timely feedback and task
performance.
 9. Providing the resources and support needed to get the job
done.

43. The nurse manager can encourage creativity through
interpersonal relationship that establishes trust. Nurse
Manager can plan to nourish activity in nursing personal by.
 Noting creative abilities of these persons who develop new
methods and techniques.
 Providing time and opportunity for people to do creative
work. This can be planned during the performance appraisal
process

44.  Recognizing that those who are masters or experts
in nursing worth in clinical practice, teaching,
research and management.
 Recognizing that those who are masters or experts
in nursing worth in clinical practice, teaching,
research and management.

45.  Encouraging nursing personnel to become involved
in nursing endeavors‟ at work in the community in
professional organizations, as well as under taking
other activities that increased knowledge and skills.
 Encouraging risk taking and acceptance of
personnel responsibility.

46.  Planning for innovation
 Measuring and rewarding management
 Tailoring information
 Expanding research and development in tools
and techniques.

47.  Innovations in clinical practices occur across the
continuum of care.
 Advances in medical equipments and technology
have formed a significant driver in changes in
clinical practice, demanding new skills and
techniques as well as new ways of working.
 Some of the innovations affecting nursing practice
include following

48.  Developments in stem cell transplantation
 Newer technologies of sample collection and
blood transfusion
 Apheresis
 Nuclear amplification test
 Development in nuclear medicine

49.  Forensic medicine innovations
 Automation in clinical laboratory
 Innovations in imaging technologies.
 Newer software assisting in recording,
planning care, hospital administration, etc

50.  Innovative approaches to problem solving
These approaches are strategies for problem solving and
any approach may be suitable for given situation.

51. This approach deals with problem solving on traditional
methods
 a. What has always been in the past, when such situation
occurred? If we do now the same way we may succeed.
 b. There are standard operating procedures (SOP) in the
many department of the hospital. These SOPs tell that
should be in a particular situation. How is it done? Who does
it? When will it be done? Step by step approach to deal with
the problems.
 c. Another way of problem solving based on the traditional
methods is, to have regards for the superior officer‟s opinion
and orders. Whatever they direct, instruct or order, presume
that they are correct and follow it 100%.

52.  The first step in this approach is to identify the problem.
 Second step is preliminary observation regarding the
proposed scheme. Then we have to derive solution to the
problems.
 With the use of current knowledge and with controlled
experiments investigate the proposition.
 The data so collected are classified and analyzed.
 On the basis of analysis a tentative solution is drawn.
 The solution so derived is implemented in that situation.
 After implementation it is evaluated for its relevance.

53.  This is one of the most popular and common approach to
deal with the problems.
 First of all we have to state as to what is the desired result.
After making definition of the problem, various possible
alternative of problem are sorted out.
 Then each alternative is evaluated from the point of view of
its suitability and relevance.
 The best alternative is selected and implemented in a given
situation. For any given situation several decisions can be
made

54.  First step is to define the problem and decision makers study
the information, people and facilities involved and
concentrate on interactions and outputs form the inputs.
 Creativity and innovation of idea is given due consideration.
 This method uses the ability to develop new ideas and
implement them.
 The core theme is to create and apply new ideas. It present
new way of achieving the desired result without being
prejudice.

55.  Problem solving is done by construction of mathematical
models.
 First define the problem and construct the mathematical
model and derive a solution from the model.
 Evaluate the model as well as the solution drawn from the
model and implement the solution to solve the problem.
 the computer is of great help, when the mathematics is
complex and calculation are of large volume.

56.  Accountability.
 Autonomy of professional activities.
 Awareness of C.P.A.
 Independent nursing practices.
 Renewal of licenses based on education and
examination.
 Specialty nursing
 Nursing care audit.
 Qualitative nursing care.

57. Administrative bodies have a key force in fostering and
supporting innovation, and the types of working
environments in which it can flourish. It includes
 Promoting nursing as a profession with a long standing and
respected tradition of creating, driving and supporting
innovative approaches to health care, and celebrating
nurse’s innovative achievements.
 Supporting innovative cultures in the workplace,
collaborating with other key players to promote positive
practice environments.

58.  Providing input to the health care organizations,
researchers and policy makers on the implications
of proposed innovations for nurses.
 Advocating for key innovations in the broader
external environment, among key opinion leaders
and communities and within the field of political
and industrial debate.

59.  Providing a space for exchange and discussion of
innovations
 Recognizing nurse innovators.
 Disseminating nursing innovations to nurses and
others.

60. The role of nurse manager will be to
 Assist with the identification, evaluation and
assessment of new care delivery technology,
developing recommendation on the impact if
integration with existing workflows and systems.
 Help shape the vision for and selection of new
technologies for evaluation.

61.  Involve in the development of appropriate
experiments providing leadership and expert
consultation on the design and development and
implementation of experimental testing of new
technologies.
 Understand the value that a particular technology
can bring to the advancement of the quality of care
in our organization.
 Provide a much needed service to the entire
organization

62.  Coordinate examination of new medical technology
in areas beyond her immediate area. of expertise.
 Collaborate with all members of the health care
team.
 Involve in identifying emerging technology as well
as developing experimental to test the technology.

63.  The causes of failure have
been widely researched and
can vary considerably.
 Some causes will be external
to the organization and
outside its influence of
control.
 Others will be internal and
ultimately within the control
of the organization.
 Poor leadership
 Poor organization
 Poor communication
 Poor empowerment
 Poor knowledge and
management

64.  Common cause of failure within the innovation process in
most organizations can be distilled into five types:
 Poor goal definition
 Poor alignment of actions to goals
 Poor participation in terms
 Poor monitoring of results
 Poor communicating and access to information.

65.  There is a substantial evidence that innovation is critical for
long term growth. Thus there is an expanded imperavative to
innovative in order to succeed in today’s world.
 Recent research confirms the fact that innovation is critical
for opening up new business opportunities and setting the
stage for continuing change in any organization.

66.  Innovation is the powerful explanatory factor between firms,
religions and countries. Howerever organizing for innovation
is a delicate task.
 We assume also that most people do not intrinsically enjoy
involvement in major changes so any enterprises engaged in
the innovative process.

67.  Increasingly innovation seen as “a social system and thus
cultivating a capacity for “systems thinking is a important
part of the innovation skill set.
 when we think of innovation system, we need to move
beyond the focus which includes:
 Regulatory bodies
 Political organization
 Public research
 Financial institution
 Labor force soul

68.  The term innovation in nursing may refer to both radical and
incremental changes in thinking, in thing, in process or in
services. The goal of innovation in nursing is positive change
to make someone or something better. Every nurse has to
contribute positively for development and refining of
innovations.
