Thinking out of the box to change the world...I received this email yesterday from Diane Tusek, one of the most important figures in guided imagery, use and research. she is wonderful.....thank you Diane....

Hi Michael.

I have come up with another way of delivering Guided Imagery to patients.  I welcome your thoughts and feedback.

 A new and effective way to deliver Guided Imagery to patients at NO COST to hospitals

 We have had great feedback and success so far.  I welcome your thoughts.

 Distributing Guided Imagery CDs has now become a bit of a challenge in health care due to budget restraints.   

 I have just come out with a new product which I believe will not only enhance the quality of patient care will be NO COST to hospitals.

I have just released eight (8) new products on a venture called Playaway.

·         Playaway is a preloaded digital mini mp3 player the size of a credit card.  My Guided Imagery content is preloaded.  There are no CD’s, or players for the patients to purchase or “remember” to bring in.

·         Guided Meditation for Surgery – Procedures would be a billable (non-reimbursable item for patients to purchase either in the physician office or at pre-admission testing centers).

As you know, I have always been one to “think out of the box".  Patient-centered care has always been my passion and direction in my nursing career.   

Guided Imagery on Playaway is an excellent venue for helping our patients and showing them that we truly about their needs as a “whole person”. 

I am asking for your input, feedback and thoughts.  Can we set up a time next week to discuss further

For more information on Playaway:   www.playaway.com   You can sample all products on my web site at www.guidedimageryinc.com

Patient-centered approach, as you know, has been my focus in my nursing career.  I have never lowered my expectations for excellence, hard work and devotion to patient care.

I look forward to hearing back from you.

Warm wishes,
