Resurrection of the Blog, for NI.....at least its back up for a reason :)

Hi Class,

I never thought I would be in a class that I could use an already created Blogger account for any type of grade in a class...wooh!

Below see the attached powerpoint....hope you all enjoy.  This blog is all about my love hate, on again (mostly) off again affair with sewing.

With a 2.5 year old, full time job, part time masters program, I hardly set the time aside to sew.  But alas enjoy if you all aren't busy reading for next week's assignment.

Also, a little fun tidbit.  I had the pleasure of attending the AHA International Stroke Conference in LA this week.  It was highly attended (around 5000 guests) from all over the world, and while the focus was not at all NI, you better believe NI was a huge indirect focus.  There were so many technology booths, workflow enhancing consulting companies, booths about research.  Also almost every speaker at some point mentioned EHR and the benefits or pitfalls of it. 

Hope you enjoy the slides....

  1. I really support the idea of texting vs. overhead paging. At my old job we had a webpaging system that we used. This allowed us to send doctors, NPs, residents, etc. messages instead of just paging them. I could request tell who I was paging what I needed right in the message so we did not have to play phone tag which I thought was very easy to use. Thanks for you post!

  2. Caitlin, nice blog! Luckily you already had a blog in place for this week's assignment. I enjoyed your power point on social media in healthcare. There are multiple risk factors associated with social media as you mentioned. Unreliable information is a major risk when we talk about healthcare. The main reason is because social media has the tendency to spread information quickly among the internet users (Mellon, 2013). In the midst of information spreading, words are being twisted up and rearranged. Moreover, it's unreliable because of the source. Most of the information come from average citizens not like a news source. As INS we have to educate our consumers and healthcare professionals on reliable sources that patients can actually turn to for information.
