Abstract

The topic of innovation is one of the recurring aspects in the world today, and consequently it causes a huge interest in the healthcare setting and maybe particularly in the nursing care setting. In any professional or healthcare newspaper, there are plenty of general or specific news about this matter and its consequences in management or results, or simply in the reputation of a specific organization. It also appears frequently in the general media, but in this case more linked to medical or organizational activities. Just like any trendy word, it causes some fear in terms of its incorrect use or trivialization, which will frequently happen. Therefore, we present here some reflections on its meaning, its reality, and its consequences for nursing management.
