True innovation comes from seeing the world differently. In nursing, something as simple as using tape to modify equipment can drive innovation in patient care.
Ever thought about how a simple piece of tape can revolutionize patient care? Hiyam Nadel, MBA, RN, BSN, a mentor for nurse-entrepreneurs at Massachusetts General Hospital, dives into this very topic. She believes that true innovation often comes from seeing the world differently. In this episode of 'Charged: Stories from the Women Leading Health Care', Nadel shares how nurses, with their close relationships with patients, naturally excel at problem-solving and empathy.
She recounts how small tweaks in equipment, like using tape, can lead to significant improvements in patient care. Nadel also discusses an innovative nursing model she proposed at Mass General. This model empowers nurses to practice at the highest level of their license and specialize in specific aspects of patient care. Not only does this enhance patient outcomes, but it also increases job satisfaction among nurses.
She emphasizes the importance of treating the entire family and maintaining transparent communication with patients. Another highlight of the episode is Nadel's insights on how advancements in toileting technology have reduced hospital falls. She also talks about fostering a culture of innovation through a pitch competition that encourages nurses to think creatively and develop their ideas. If you're interested in how small changes can make a big difference in healthcare, this episode is a must-listen.
Nadel's passion for improving patient care through simple yet effective innovations is both inspiring and informative.
