Editorial Reviews

Reviewer: Michalene A King, PhD, RN, CNE (Robert Morris University)
Description: This book describes the use of evidence-based innovations for leadership by nurses and other healthcare professionals.
Purpose: The goal was to develop a resource to support healthcare transformation combining evidence-based practice (EBP) and innovation. This worthy goal is met.
Audience: The audience includes current and future innovative leaders. The four editors all have academic experience and/or additional experience in leadership positions and the 12 contributors have academic experience or leadership experience.
Features: Divided into four sections, the book is designed to walk readers through the process of integrating EBP and innovation. The sections include using the known to lead the unknown, supporting innovation through evidence, measuring innovation, and innovation and evidence as an integrated and iterative process. Each chapter begins with objectives and includes other features such as discussions or questions, models, and current references.
Assessment: This is the first book of its kind that I have seen. It covers important information about EBP and leadership. It would be a great addition to the library of any healthcare leader.
