VOICES of INNOVATION
EUROPE
Your voice matters.
Thank you for your interest in contributing to one of the editions of the original 2019 healthcare provider best seller, Voices of Innovation…Fulfilling the Promise of Information Technology in Healthcare.
This is your chance to be part of something huge in Europe, and you have already taken the first step.
This edition will be released at HIMSS26 Europe, and I can't wait to write with you!
Contribute With Purpose
All author royalties go directly to Doctors Without Borders.
Each Voices book royalties typically go to the organization represented by the Introduction or Foreword author. Past royalties have gone to the 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 highlight 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!
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.
