Curiosity! Leigh Anne Nordt, BSN, RN Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital - Case Management Innovation While Responding to the Pandemic! Leigh Anne saw an unmet need to improve safety procedures to address unintended administration of medication through IV lines. Using her duties as a nurse as a springboard, Leigh Anne designed a device that will act as an additional layer of protection combined with current safety procedures. Her efforts will prevent unintentional drug administration accidents. She is collaborating with Virginia Tech on prototype development. More than 70 inventions have been presented to Carilion Clinic Innovation (CCI) to prototype, test and determine if they can improve our work, be licensed to an industry partner or be spun off as a private entity.
