I need your help. Have you ever wanted to be part of writing a book? Here is your chance to help create “Voices of Innovation…. Fulfilling the Promise of Information Technology in Healthcare.”

Sponsored by HIMSS, “Voices of Innovation” will be a collection of essays written by real-world innovators – like you. Everyone speaks of innovation, yet few fulfill its calling. Many point to random examples of innovation inside of healthcare information technology, but not many replicable innovative processes have emerged.

This book will be a culmination of demonstrated examples, techniques and successful front-line innovations from your own organization so others might experience the same success in their respective organizations.

“Voices” will bring together and deliver in these personalized essays with repeatable techniques supporting innovation. This in turn will help others leverage skills and talents yielding superior business and clinical outcomes supporting healthcare information technology innovations.

Voices will be divided into multiple chapters. The chapters will leverage the HIMSS Innovation Pathways work previously developed, including:

• Blend Cultures
• Use People with IT
• Create Roadmaps
• Collaborate and Listen
• Communicate and Eliminate Barriers
• Stress Simplicity
• Recognize and Reward
• Co-Create Solutions

Interested? If you can write a two- to three-page essay on how you have leveraged innovation in the context of one of these chapters, please email me at [email protected] and I will send you more details. We have an aggressive publishing deadline and submissions must be received by Sept. 15.
