The global healthcare ecosystem is in chaos, caught in the convergence of pandemic-induced disruption, residual inequities, burnout, and turnover. Nurse leaders can either succumb to the churn or spot-and seize-a rare opportunity for true transfor­mation. They must thoughtfully consider all aspects of their traditional roles and tack­le trigger topics such as staffing, schedul­ing, value-based care, outcome tracking, and more. Informed, empowered nurses can re-envision roles, integrate technolo­gies, and develop new models to deliver the highest level of patient care.

The Innovation Handbook is a pragmatic guide and toolkit that seeks to enlighten nurse leaders as they evolve through the current crisis. Author Bonnie Clipper explains concepts and equips nurses with a knowledge foundation that enhances their innovation skill set, spurs ideas and creativity, and challenges them to think differently and apply new concepts. On the cusp of a once-in-a-generation opportunity to create a better future for nursing and healthcare, this book gives nurses the tools to meet the moment!
