Hughes, F. (2006). Nurses at the forefront of innovation. International Nursing Review, 53(2), 94–101.
Abstract: This paper explores the concept of innovation in nursing, the inherent set of characteristics that need to be present in order for innovations to succeed, and the barriers that impede innovation from occurring. Successful innovations developed and implemented by nurses are featured, and organisational factors necessary to support innovation are described. This paper is based on a presentation given by the author at the 23rd Quadrennial ICN Congress and 7th International Regulation Congress in Taipei in May 2005.

Honey, M. (2004). Flexible learning for postgraduate nurses: A basis for planning. Nurse Education Today, 24(4), 319–325.
Abstract: This paper describes a survey undertaken with postgraduate nursing students in a university-based school of nursing in 2002 to establish their access to and use of computers and information technology for study. Whilst there was minimal flexibility and use of technology to support student learning for postgraduate nurses in the school, the university proposed increasing flexibility across all courses. This is in part a response to the increased internationalisation of education and developments in technology affecting programme design, delivery and support that can benefit teachers and students. The author notes that the findings of this survey form a basis for planning the introduction of flexible learning. Results indicated that not all students have convenient access to technology for study purposes, nor are they at the same level in terms of using technology.

Abstract: Employs human-centred design (HCD) methods to explore how the medical devices that make up the Waitemata District Health Board's (Waitemata DHB) Outpatient Intravenous Antibiotic (OPIVA) service could be redesigned to improve the experiences of patients within the service. Surveys patients and district nursing staff about improving the usability, aesthetics and ergonomics of the elastomeric infuser and redesigning the storage bag to be wearable under clothing. Proposes a new system to replace the surgical tape used to hold the IV lines in place and advocates for patient experience inclusion in the redesign of the devices.
