Bridging Diffusion of Innovation and CNS Practice Frameworks Using Digital Chest Drainage
This narrative review examines barriers to adopting digital chest drainage systems and highlights the critical role of Clinical Nurse Specialists in translating evidence into practice.

The authors argue that successful implementation requires more than technology alone, emphasizing clinician engagement, peer influence, social learning, and systems‑level value to support broader integration of digital chest drain management.
