Economic and Technological Innovation

REJECTION. DESTRUCTION. FRUSTRATION. We do not often associate these words with technological innovation, unless the technology we are using is malfunctioning. Stepping into spaces where we as nurses can contribute to the advancement of workplace technologies may be equal parts rewarding and disorienting. An innovative mindset often requires nurses to step outside the status quo and embrace ambiguity to move on from frustration toward solution seeking. Creative destruction of the status quo, often through the naming and understanding of frustrations, is one of the greatest sources of innovation in health care technology. Originality and creativity are highly valued in our culture, but it may often seem that only the most radical risk takers and industry shapers are the true innovators. Adopting an innovative mindset begins with realizing that smaller innovations coming from frontline nurses are often the most valuable and viable. Matthew D.
