Contribute With Purpose

All author royalties go directly to cure cancer. Each Voices book royalties typically go to the organization represented by the Introduction or Foreword author. Past royalties have gone to Cleveland Clinic, SummaHealth, Mary Crowley Cancer Research and Mayo Clinic. Not only are you helping other organizations succeed by sharing your story, but your contribution is helping raise money towards cancer research.

Writing to Cure

This is how it works. The structure of the book follows the HIMSS Innovation Pathways (details below). There are 8 processes of the Pathways. The heart of the book contains 8 chapters, one focused on each of the 8 processes. Each chapter contains 4-5 essays written by contributors that highlights a successful innovation in their organization. Each submission must identify in the title which process their innovation most closely highlights. For instance, one of the processes is “Create Roadmaps”. A sample essay title might be “Create Roadmaps – Remote Patient Monitoring Saves Lives”. This makes it easier for the editors to immediately identify which chapter the essay is being considered for submission. 

Instructions

Please note that there is no remuneration for accepted essays. All Ed Marx profits go to fund cancer research. All book proceeds will go to Summa Health Foundation. Consider this a co-labor of love to help accelerate healthcare digital transformation and raise money to eliminate cancer!

PATIENT EXPERIENCE

Via Mayo Clinic Press, we wrote the definitive book on patient experience from the vantage point of healthcare executives but direct to the heart of the consumer.

 

This talk is based on the research and findings of the book shaped by our own experiences as patients.

REFERENCE

I highly recommend reading the 1st Edition of Voice of Innovation | HIMSS Book Series (Amazon) before submitting.

THE MODEL

There is no perfect model for innovation. Since HIMSS was the sponsor of the original book and

their brand respected worldwide, we will continue to leverage their model you see in the

picture below.

 

Again, you will need to ensure your submission title begins with the name of one

of the 8 processes described in the model.
