A new scale developed by the College of Nursing Innovation Scholarly Interest Group (SIG) is the first validated measure to facilitate innovations across academia and practice!

The Innovativeness Across Academia and Practice for Healthcare Progress Scale (IA-APHPS)“allows academia, practice, and industry nurses to strategically leverage synergy, increase capacity, improve our potential, and reduce partnering constraints,” says Dr. Lindell Joseph. Members of the Innovation SIG involved in development of the scale are from the CON, Tippie College of Business, University of Iowa, and University of Iowa Health Care.

New Article 📝📝

Congratulations to Misty Brooks BSN, RN, CMSRN and Dr. Harleah G. Buck PhD, RN, FPCN, FAHA, FGSA, FAAN on their recent publication, "Driving Change: A Case Study of a Doctor of Nursing Practice Leader in Residence Program in a Gerontological Center of Excellence."

"This paper presents a case study on the development and implementation of the Csomay Center for Gerontological Excellence’s Doctorate in Nursing Practice Leader in Residence program. Nurse leaders are assuming executive roles in health care organizations, improving patient and system-level outcomes through driving innovation and change. However, many are selected based on clinical performance rather than leadership competence. This case study utilizes the Plan-Do-Study-Act cycle to guide development, implementation, and evaluation of a unique Leader in Residence program in a nontraditional health care setting, focusing on curriculum integration, immersive experiences, and mastering competencies aiming to create better-prepared nurse leaders."
