Tim Raderstorf - Chief Innovation Officer, Ohio State College of Nursing

In this episode we speak with Dr. Tim Raderstorf who is the Chief Innovation Officer at The Ohio State University College of Nursing and The Head of Academic Entrepreneurship at the Erdős Institute. 

From TED talks to textbooks, Tim uses every platform he can find to empower those at the frontlines to change healthcare.

As the first nurse to hold the Chief Innovation Officer title in academia, he takes great pride in educating the world on the role of the nurse as an innovator and entrepreneur. 

In 2017, he founded The Innovation Studio, a makerspace/incubator that provides interprofessional healthcare teams with the tools and mentorship needed to turn ideas into actions. This work at the Innovation Studio led to Tim being named the 2018 Early Career Innovator of the Year at The Ohio State University, as well as Distinguished Recent Alumni at Ohio State, and the Innovation Studio being named the Non-Profit of the year by Columbus Business First in 2019.   

Outside of Ohio State, Tim is the founder of Quality Health Communications, and co-author of the #1 New Release textbook Evidence-Based Leadership, Innovation and Entrepreneurship in Nursing and Healthcare: A Practical Guide for Success. He is also currently an Innovation Advisory Board Member with the American Nurses Association.
