I remember when I started this blog, there really was only a small handful of people talking about EMR. Now, it’s kind of exploded and there’s conversations happening all over the internet about EMR. That’s why I’m particularly grateful for those who read this blog, participate in the comments and find value from it. One of my more recent finds is the group forums on LinkedIn. They’re definitely not perfect and sometimes get too much spam, but they are an interesting place to discuss EMR. Here’s an example of a group about Small Medical Practice EMR and PM Solutions. Pretty much a perfect match for this blog right? One of the key things I like about the groups on LinkedIn is that people’s comments...

But it was partly their own fault. Blogs and other social media were buzzing with healthcare reform talk for more than a year, and were more influential than ever. But HR and benefits professionals –- experts in the topic –- were mostly on the sidelines. They didn’t shape the debate, didn’t point out when people didn’t know what they were talking about, didn’t talk about how what was proposed would affect what they did for a living. Don’t take my word for it. A study last year on social media use by HR professionals revealed ...

Few pharmacologic agents receive more bad press than warfarin.  Stories, which are too numerous to count, like “Did warfarin kill my father,” can be widely found on Internet forums, search engines, and are often quoted by reluctant patients — whose numerator of bad warfarin experiences is one. It is true that warfarin has a narrow therapeutic window — a small difference between an effective dose and dangerous dose.

But it turns out that when consumers search the Internet for info about their meds, blogs and forums often show up among the top results, according to a new study. This is a challenge for drugmakers, because v-Fluence Interactive says the info consumers find at those sites “often occurs in a manner that’s not friendly or favorable to the brands.” The issue is that some blogs and forums are more likely to compare various brand-name drugs and discuss side effects. Ironically, v-Fluence notes, drug ads are sometimes placed on these sites. “Up until now, blogs and discussion spaces have remained virtually invisible to most search engine users.

In “issue” #2 of the Smorgasboard series, I run through the latest sites sent to me by keen readers. Annie Books: Author and school psychologist Michelle Fattig and illustrator Josh Fattig have created the “Annie Book Series”, a series of stories about characters Michelle and Josh who have Asperger’s Syndrome and Attention Deficit Disorder. In the books, Michelle and Josh use their unique skills to “fight crime, battle evil, and promote world peace”.

We all posted there for 4+ years. During that time, we made some real friends and got some great advice. But, we also, met our share of undiagnosed nutjobs and trolls. What comes to mind immediately is the last troll that I turned in to Admin. He/she posted in the Eating Disorder thread. I can’t recall the exact words and the posts were deleted. But, it went something like this….. Guest….I need help. I weigh 565 pounds and can’t stop eating. I eat everything in site….candy, cakes, steaks, bread, even bugs that I find outside.

So .. I just deleted it altogther and started from scratch. With this new forum brings hope of less spam, because it is a bbPress platform, from Wordpress.org .. just like this blog! Akismet is enabled inside the forum itself, and that should also help keep it clean. For those who don’t keep it clean, it should be easier for me to boot the riff-raff out of there!

Peter was kind enough to send through a very concise and detailed description so I have included his full description as this week’s post. My sincere thanks to Peter for the information he provided. Healthy Skepticism Inc is an international non-profit organisation for health professionals and everyone else interested in improving health. Its main aim is to improve health by reducing harm from misleading drug promotion. Healthy Skepticism was founded in 1983 with the name Medical Lobby for Appropriate Marketing (MaLAM).

The variety of the sites prompted me to develop a new series of posts called “The Smorgasbord Series”, designed specifically to include a range of resources in a single post. As such I am putting the call out to anyone who wants to submit their site (or a great site they know) on my home page for future Smorgasbord posts.

What about sharing your psychological expertise with like-minded community members. If so, a new project called BlogsInMind from Greg Mulhauser of www.counsellingresource.com fame might be for you. Greg and colleagues have launched a free blogging platform for psychologically-minded consumers. I emailed Greg to find out more about the project. The group at Counselling Resource set up the service when it became apparent that a large proportion of their visitors preferred the blog format over the forum format for participating in ongoing discussions. When they explored it further, it also became clear that many visitors were interested in running their own blogs, curious to learn how websites generate...

CollectiveX is a social networking service/tool for individuals and organizations looking coordinate communication with friends, colleagues and/or other professionals. I have been using CollectiveX to run a local (South Australian) discussion forum for 10-months now and it has provided me with a range of very professional and easy-to-use tools (discussion forums, shared calendar, member profiles, filing cabinet) for this group to collaborate successfully. It has shaved hours off the process of building and maintaining a website for the group myself. Even better, the basic features of CollectiveX are free and I have been unable to find a comparable service price-wise (outside of the prett...

I came across Jamie and his sites when he linked to my post on the In Mind Social Psychology Magazine. Jamie is a teacher at a Sixth Form College in the UK and is involved in teaching the OCR A-Level Psychology course. OCR is one of the three biggest exam boards in the UK offering a wide range of qualifications and support to UK education providers (schools, prisons, colleges, the police force and other workplaces). The A-level Psychology course is a two-year introductory psychology course that prepares students (mostly 16-18 yo) for further University level courses. Jamie informed me that there are about 10,000 students studying the course at any one time. In terms of the content of the course: The A Level is split ...

They produce books, card sets, stickers, non-competitive games, dolls, puppets, play-therapy ideas, gift, stationery and novelty items for use by teachers, therapists, social workers etc. Michelle Clark from Wise Beyond Words contacted me recently asking that I feature her site as she is the US reseller for the materials produced by Innovative Resources. I would love to see the materials more obviously featured on Michelle’s site, but it is useful that US professionals have a distributor. In fact, something which I did not feature in the original Innovative Resources page was a link to international retailers and resellers information. Here it is for those customers currently residing in USA, UK, Ca...

Hans Ijzerman (editor-in-chief) was kind enough to provide me with some details about the site and plans for the future. Founded in December 2006, In-Mind is a spin-off of the online psychology magazine, The Free Mind (worthy of a post itself!). Fundamentally, the magazine is a platform for graduate students in Social Psychology to publish articles. Think of it as a platform somewhere between blogs/websites and peer-reviewed journals.

Divided into two parts, the IAN Project seeks to link parents of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) with researchers in the field. It does this through two related websites (iancommunity.org and ianresearch.org). Iancommunity.org is a comprehensive online library and community devoted entirely to ASD research. With the goal of making parents of ASD children more “knowledgeable consumers of research”, iancommunity.org is a meeting place between researchers and parents, where they can exchange and discuss ASD findings. Many of those findings will be directly channeled from sister site ianresearch.org. At ianresearch.org, parents of ASD children (US residents only) c...
