Participatory medicine will owe part of its success to the technologies that have the potential to remove treatment, symptom management, administrative, and communications burdens from individuals and clinicians while maintaining the critical interpersonal interactions between them. Out of the steady stream of new devices, programs, gadgets, and applications, which will make a difference in the health and lives of patients? We hope to build the Journal as a resource for critical reviews of technologies that support and facilitate participatory medicine. We realize it will be no small undertaking to put together a process that will allow for the review of a substantial number of technologies over time, reflecting the experience of different types of users.

In this article, the authors develop a definition of positive deviance, a foundational construct in positive organizational scholarship. They offer a normative definition of positive deviance: intentional behaviors that depart from the norms of a referent group in honorable ways. The authors contrast this normative perspective on deviance with statistical, supraconformity, and reactive perspectives on deviance. They also develop research propositions that differentiate positive deviance from related prosocial types of behaviors, including organizational citizenship, whistle-blowing, corporate social responsibility, and creativity/innovation. Finally, the authors offer some initial ideas on how to operationalize positive deviance.
