Abstract

This dissertation explores the value and impact of nurse innovators working in academic, industry, and government settings. A qualitative descriptive study was chosen to understand the contributions of nurse innovators and the outcomes associated with their innovative endeavors. The purpose of this study is to better understand the contributions of nurse innovators by answering the following research questions: 1) How do nurses perceive that nursing innovation adds value to and/or impacts patients or the United States health care system? 2) What metrics/outcome measures do nurse innovators identify as relevant or useful to evaluate innovation success? And 3) What methods/resources do nurse innovators report leveraging to disseminate innovation practice, initiatives, and outcomes?
