“…Third, the proposed champion candidates were asked to verify that they meet the above criteria. Fourth, confirmation of the selection was made by another staff member linked to the identified project ( Luz et al, 2019 ). Of the 128 nursing units approached, 34 either the head nurse or the champion refused to participate or could not identify a champion in their unit.…”

“…Moreover, very few empirical studies have examined the way nurse champions interact, their networks, the types of innovations and changes they bring about to their organizations, and the conditions that enbable them to realize their potential. If at all, and from theoretical perspectives, studies on nurse champions were made under Roger’s Diffusion of Innovations, highlighting that diffusion is the process by which an innovation is communicated over time among the participants in a social system ( Luz et al, 2019 ). To the best of our knowledge, no empirical study has ever analyzed nurse champions’ actions and interactions as SLBs.…”

“…They are often engaged in efforts which help improve the quality of 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.872131 care from within the organization (Miech et al, 2018;Bonawitz et al, 2020). Nurse champions may either be nominated by managers or are self-nominated, thus their role may be formal (formally nominated and performing their formally nominated role) or informal (informally emergent or nominated for a role in a different domain from the area in which they act and promote change) (Luz et al, 2019).…”

“…A champion establishes his/her leadership through three categories of behaviors: showing enthusiasm about and confidence in the success of an innovation; network building by getting the right people involved; and persisting under adversity ( Howell, 2005 ; Luz et al, 2019 ). Thus, in order for nurse champions to become influential advocates of an innovation, they have to be well-connected to people and resources of the organization ( Luz et al, 2021 ).…”

BackgroundNurse champions are front-line practitioners who implement innovation and reconstruct policy.PurposeTo understand through a network theory lens the factors that facilitate nurse champions’ engagement with radical projects, representing their actions as street-level bureaucrats (SLBs).Materials and methodsA personal-network survey was employed. Ninety-one nurse champions from three tertiary medical centers in Israel participated.FindingsGiven high network density, high levels of advice play a bigger role in achieving high radicalness compared with lower levels advice. High network density is also related to higher radicalness when networks have high role diversity.DiscussionUsing an SLB framework, the findings suggest that nurse champions best promote adoption of innovation and offer radical changes in their organizations through professional advice given by colleagues in their field network. Healthcare organizations should establish the structure and promote the development of dense and heterogeneous professional networks to realize organizations’ goals and nurses’ responsibility to their professional employees, patients, and society.

Background: The interest in and demand for healthcare innovation has heightened amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Organizations are challenged to balance the goals of daily operations with innovation to stay relevant and compete in the marketplace. Innovation is critical for not only the success and sustainability of organizations, but the well-being of the faculty, staff, and clients they serve. Purpose: In this article, we present an overview of several Nursing Innovation Centers in the United States as well as examples of colleges without formal innovation centers but who are addressing innovation in their programs. Methods: We examined the subjective experience of nursing innovation in seven colleges of nursing using semi-structured intervieweds and thematic analysis. FIndings: We discuss four themes for creating an innovation center or innovation focus and six themes important for sustainability and impact. In addition, we provide a working model for these themes and provide lessons learned along with trends and recommendations for the future. Discussion: This information provides guidance and a framework for academic and practice organizations aspiring to create opportunities for innovation to flourish in their institutions. We also encourage leadership to critically evaluate and address biases in faculty hiring, research evaluation, publication practices, educational opportunities and mentoring to overcome the diversity innovation paradox.
