Abstract

This is the second article in a series on nurse innovators, which focuses whenever possible on nurse-engineer partnerships and outlines working, replicable models of collaboration between the two disciplines. In this installment, we profile Lindsey Roddy, a nurse, and Kyle Jansson, an engineer-partners who collaborated on an innovative medical device called SecureMove-TLC, designed to improve caregiver workflow, reduce health care costs associated with line dislodgment, and promote safety for both patients and caregivers.
