Handwashing Revisited for Laymen and Physicians

[By Staff Reporters]

Some laymen in the office were recently wondering about hand washing. Why do we wash our hands after using the restroom? Why do we not wash our hands prior to “doing our business”? And is it really necessary to wash every single time?

So, after some research, the short answer to that last question seems to be a resounding yes. Want to know why?

Updates on Twitter in Healthcare

Promises Fulfilled in 140 Characters or Less?

Join Our Mailing List 

[By staff reporters]

According to Phil Baumann, RN BSN, @ www.PhilBaumann.com writing a few years ago:

“Twitter may either be the greatest time wasting prank ever played on the internet community – or- it may be the best thing since sliced bread. It’s easy to make the first case if you read the public time-line for a few minutes. It’s a bit harder to make the second, but I’ll do my best to make it. Specifically, I’d like to take a stab at offering 140 health care uses for Twitter. Twitter’s simplicity of design, speed of delivery and ability to connect two or more people around the world provides a powerful means of communication, idea sharing and collaboration. There’s potency in the ability to burst out 140 characters, including a shortened URI. Could this power have any use in healthcare? After all, for example, doctors and nurses.”

Assessment

How is Twitter doing in healthcare today, circa 2012? Tweet promises fulfilled? Read the original 23 page white-paper here:
