Innovation Guide
We know every nurse enters the innovation space in diverse ways and at various times. Our goal is to support your journey. The Innovation Advisory Committees (IAC) are beginning to curate resources to ignite your ideas, propel your work forward, and spark action.
As we have been working to build and define the work of innovation across the nursing profession, we recognize the importance of key characteristics and evidence that embody the spirit, culture, and science of innovation. We believe the innovation community will be realized through the courage, values, and behaviors of the nurses who drive this work.
Nursing Ethos of Innovation
We have identified seven core principles to guide and foster the growth of innovation across nursing and healthcare:
- Transparency
- Democracy
- Abundance
- Opportunities for Growth
- Interprofessional + Transdisciplinary Collaboration
- Antiracist + Design Justice Principles (justice, equity, diversity, inclusion)
- Improve the Present While Being Future Focused
U.S. Health Care Journey Map
The purpose of creating the U.S. Health Care Journey Map (or infographic) was to visually organize the health care system from the highest branches of government to the health facilities and resources which reside in our communities. While simultaneously attempting to capture the pathways, relationships, dependencies, and interdependencies across this system.
It's hard to navigate an environment without understanding the terrain. Our goal was to visualize and make sense of a complicated system – for nurses, other health professionals, individuals interested in healthcare, and the general public.
We wanted to help people find the right spot to start their journey, engage with or transform health care, or maybe mark your destination, and when necessary, know when to design your own path.
This is our first iteration of the map and if we have missed something – please let us know.
