are funded by TMIT with donations to the Denham Family Fund.
The documentary Chasing Zero: Winning the War on Healthcare Harm was partially funded by CareFusion Corporation

affiliated in any way with CareFusion. The documentary was in no way a commercial venture and was provided
for free to the general public, as are associated toolboxes. DVDs are provided at cost, and if there is any
excess revenue generated by providing them, it is expended in DVD copies given away at national meetings.
The documentary Surfing the Healthcare Tsunami: Bring Your Best Board was partially funded by General Electric

for free to the general public, as will associated toolboxes. DVDs will be provided at cost, and if there is
any excess revenue generated by providing them, it will be expended in DVD copies given away at national meetings.
