The Nurse’s Guide to Innovation: Accelerating the Journey

The book consists of nine chapters each written by a different author or authors, all of whom have had experience as nurses and as inventors/entrepreneurs. It is written expressly for an audience of potential nurse innovators, whom they deem “entreprenurses.” Covers some of the following topics: an explanation of the innovation process; the development and use of websites; establishing a business case; Intellectual Property, Patents, and Trademarks; Marketing and Promotion; and product development and management. Overall, the book provides a good insight into design and entrepreneurship for nursing staff and gives others a good insight into the possibilities of collaboration with nursing staff for improvements in patient care. I recommend it as a good, easily read, introductory text on innovation.
