Nurse leaders play significant roles in implementing innovative care models. They act as role models to their team by first accepting the innovative models of care and teaching their team members about the essence of adopting the models and sustaining them in the health care delivery system. The efforts of nurse leaders are also vital in realizing employee engagement, which is crucial in determining the important players in the innovative efforts of the organizations (Pappas & McCauley, 2018). They also teach their staff new concepts necessary in obtaining the required change and also provide a new perspective in thinking and actions that are pertinent to the change process.

During the implementation of innovative care models, nurse leaders are expected to act as change agents to facilitate the implementation processes. The position of nurse leadership requires the possession of innovative processes and ideas. As such, nurse leaders should build up innovative health care practices and processes and also leverage technology when implementing innovative care models to improve the quality of care (Pappas & McCauley, 2018). The other vital role of nurse leaders during the implementation of innovative care models is the promotion and diffusion of evidence-based practices that positively influence the innovative care models.

As health needs expand, innovation should be at the center of the change to track health care requirements and needs. Sustaining innovation in health care requires a collaborative effort of diverse stakeholders. In the present case, innovative modes of care can affect collaboration between advanced registered nurses and other stakeholders in the industry by reducing the workload and also presenting realistic ways to prevail over limitations that hamper innovations, leading to faster improvements and turnarounds in models of care (Shirey et al., 2021).
