In this SEE YOU NOW Insight, nurse leaders Gaurdia Banister, PhD, RN, NEA-BC, FAAN, and Hiyam Nadel, MBA, CCG RN, share how the Ether Dome Challenge at Massachusetts General Hospital is using open innovation to surface frontline solutions and strengthen care delivery. Against a backdrop of persistent nurse staffing shortages and a global talent emergency, they show how including every role group in innovation, and ensuring leadership engagement, communication, and follow-through, creates a culture where staff feel heard, valued, and supported. Innovation, they remind us, isn’t just about solving problems; it’s about caring for patients and caregivers, and building strong systems for the future.
