Nursing Innovation for Transformational Care

In its 5th year, Cleveland Clinic’s annual Nursing Innovation Summit is an inspirational event designed to explore the many ways healthcare is being transformed through nursing innovation. The 2017 summit, which has the theme “Nursing Innovation for Transformational Care,” will cover everything from the art and science of innovation to cultivating ideas for creative solutions.

The day-long event is intended for all nurses – no matter work role or title – including nurse leaders, clinicians, educators, quality and care coordinators, researchers and those who want to be or are engaged in advancing nursing knowledge and innovative practices.

“Nursing innovation is an amazing catalyst to creating value in healthcare,” says Lee Anne Siegmund, PhD, RN, CEP, Nurse Scientist for Cleveland Clinic’s Office of Nursing Research and Innovation and Chair of the Innovation Summit Planning Committee. “Through the creation of innovative solutions, nurses can improve patient outcomes, reduce healthcare costs, enhance nursing practice in today’s constantly changing healthcare environment, and truly take the lead in care transformation.”
