DIT and Healthcare delivery - Modern healthcare is quite complex, as are the relationships between various stakeholders within the system -- patients, family, specialists, staff, administration, medical personnel, regulatory bodies, insurance, public and private health personnel and even the political sphere. DIT heals measure the breadth and number of organizational units affected, the amount of communication across organizational lines, and the manner in which individual groups interact proactively. Innovation theory in health organizations often induces two cycles: 1) poorly performing organizations that respond with rule bound behaviors and indeed perpetuates poor performance and; 2) beneficent responses in which better performing organizations have autonomy which reinforces their stronger performance (Lundblad, 2003). For organizations to remain competitive, they must adopt the more proactive stance from DIT and find ways to both streamline and self-critique.
DIT and Current Nursing Practice -- Because of the complex nature of nursing practice, combined with new expectations for many nurses (e.g. stronger and more robust clinical roles, more teaching and interaction requirements, larger patient loads, etc.); there are more and more technical demands upon nurses. At times, the increased pressure from so much information, new technical specifications, and increased loads can be mitigated by using the essential concepts of DIT strategies to apply innovation and adaptation processes. The underlying assumption, of course, is that the DIT model assumes change is promoted through ideas or information introduced by people with whom one can identify. This is critical within the nursing paradigm -- the carative models of Watson and Peplau for instance, show that emulation and modeling can be most effective among a group of people within an organization over time -- and how to speed this process up to its maximum efficacy (Sunderman and Johnson, 2008)..

In clinical situations, for example, problem-solving techniques are often required to ensure best practice. According to Lyth, some authors argue that a balance between roles should be maintained in order to optimize both clinical practice and theoretical knowledge. Generally, it appears to be agreed among theorists that the focus of clinical supervision should be professional development and self-actualization. In addition, an inter-disciplinary approach to supervisory practice will also provide a
According to the AACN's report, "Nurse Practitioner Primary Care Competencies in Specialty Areas: Adult, Family, Gerontological, Pediatric, and Women's Health" (2002), "Competencies are the domain or body of knowledge and skills that essentially define a profession or discipline. This domain of competencies guides training programs, provides expectations for employers, and drives the nature of assessment instruments and performance standards for credentialing institutions, certifying agencies, and accrediting organizations" (p. 14).

Clinical Research Administration Embracing the scholar-practitioner (SP) model in clinical research represents a critical responsibility to improve, to inform, and to inspire the lives of others: improve through scholarly research, inform through practical application, and inspire through leadership. During the semester, awareness was heightened as to the importance of scholarly writing, theory implementation, and leadership influence. Being charged with such responsibilities is not for the faint of heart. Becoming independent scholars

By improving their self knowledge, leaders can change and develop as leaders of people. Clinical supervision for leaders is sometimes called administrative clinical supervision. This is managerial clinical supervision with a focus on problems related to leadership and organization of work, particularly human relations issues. Administrative clinical supervision makes use of experiential learning focused on oneself and one's work (Sirola-Karvinen and Hyrkas, 2008). Administrative clinical supervision means clinical supervision for
