2023 ANA INNOVATION AWARD WINNERS: IMPROVING HEALTH CARE DELIVERY TO BE MORE
PRACTICAL, COMFORTABLE, AND PATIENT-CENTERED

Mar 8th 2023

SILVER SPRING, MD – Today, the American Nurses Association (ANA) and the
American Nurses Foundation (the Foundation) announced the winners of the 2023
ANA Innovation Awards sponsored by Stryker, a leading global medical technology
company. The ANA Innovation Awards highlight, recognize, and celebrate exemplary
nurse innovators who improve patient safety and health outcomes.

Winners of the Nurse-led Team Award:  


Roxanne McMurray, DNP, APRN, CRNA and the McMurray Team: Steve Fischer,
Co-Founder and President, Pete Anderson, Co-Founder and Financial Director,
Brian McMurray, Co-Founder and Sales and Marketing Distribution Director, Ryan
Artale, Partner and Product Development and Quality, and Jana Stender, Marketing
and Communications Consultant

Roxanne McMurray, a nurse anesthetist, leads the team that developed the Distal
Pharyngeal Airway (DPA), called the McMurray Enhanced Airway, which is a
breathing tool a breathing tool that stents open throat tissue to maintain
adequate ventilation for surgery or other medical procedures. McMurray and her
team saw a gap in available and effective airway management tools for
populations who suffered from breathing complications, which led to the creation
of DPA. This tool is the first-of-its-kind and designed to keep patients
breathing who are susceptible to upper airway obstruction during sedation or
unconsciousness, which is a common occurrence with potentially serious outcomes.

Studies have shown that the average health care patient is more likely to be
older, overweight, and more susceptible to sleep apnea. These are all risk
factors for breathing complications and given that these groups are more likely
to undergo outpatient surgeries that require deep sedation, there was a
significant need for a solution. The DPA was created to address this problem in
a way that is both comfortable and safe for patients and health care providers.

 Winner of the Individual Nurse Award:




Robin Austin, PhD, DNP, DC, RN-BC, FAMIA, FNAP

Robin Austin is the nurse and creative mind behind “MyStrengths + MyHealth”
(MSMH). It’s an app that provides comprehensive, individual health assessments
that’s beneficial for families and communities. The app is designed to identify
social determinants of health and to enable personal health tracking and public
health research. Users can self-report their health data in the categories of
strengths, challenges, and needs within 4 domains: My Living, My Mind and
Network, My Body, and My Self-care. The MSMH app uses health care professional
terminology that has been translated into easy to understand, reader-friendly
content. It seeks to improve the health of individuals by giving the power back
to the patients to share their own whole-person health data that includes social
and behavioral determinants of health. The app is currently being implemented
oversees and is increasing in popularity with usage by public health nurses and
older adults in the community.

“The 2023 ANA Innovation Award winners have built clinical solutions for complex
health care challenges. Roxanne and Robin advanced care and the resources being
delivered, while simultaneously improving health quality for their patients and
communities,” said ANA Vice President of Nursing Innovation, Oriana Beaudet,
DNP, RN, PHN. “The winners addressed emerging care needs, first through a new
nurse-led health mobile app that facilitates convenience for both nurses and
patients, and the second is a medical device implemented by emergency medical
services and surgical teams. Advancing nurse-led solutions that create
sustainable cost-effective solutions across health care is good business, driven
by purpose and mission. Nurses advance health through their work as clinicians,
scientists, entrepreneurs, researchers, product designers, policy leaders, in
advanced practice, as community organizers, and by providing direct care across
our country in hospitals, long term care, hospice, ambulatory settings, schools,
and numerous public health settings. It’s time the innovative work of nurses is
recognized.”

“Nurse-led innovation is critical to the advancement of health care, and that is
why we are proud to partner with ANA and the Foundation as a sponsor of the ANA
Innovation Awards,” said Stryker’s Vice President and General Manager, Jessica
Mathieson. “This year’s award winners epitomize nursing excellence, and we are
excited to see how they continue to positively impact the profession and help
improve patient outcomes.”

The 2023 individual nurse and nurse-led team award recipients, will receive
monetary prizes of $25,000 and $50,000, respectively. These funds support
translational research, development, prototyping, production, testing, and the
implementation of these innovations. The award winners will have one year to
further develop their innovation and will share their outcomes and findings in
2024.

Watch the ANA Innovation Awards ceremony and meet the 2023 winners in the new
webinar, “Are You a Nurse Influencer? Utilize Innovation to Drive Your
Professional Influence” (Free for ANA Members). You can also learn more about
how ANA is supporting nurse-led innovation by visiting the ANA Innovation
website, where you will find a list of resources, upcoming events, and nurse-led
innovation stories.
