Navigating Relationships and Communication in 2020 (Web 3.0 and beyond)

We are able to connect and communicate in more ways than ever before, and yet we seem more disconnected, divided, and confused than ever before. Yet, if we get caught in the trap of watching the same news channels and getting our data from the same source, then it is ineventible that our views and perspectives start to be swayed in that particular direction. Almost everyone is on a social media platform of some sort if they aren’t on all of them. Once you share or like posts, the algorithms go to work to show you things they know you will like and engage in even if that puts you inside an echo chamber of ideas and thoughts that prevent us from having any meaningful dialogue around complex issues.

When it comes to investing and financial planning in 2020 there is an abundance of information and resources. There are discount brokerage firms that allow you to trade stocks for free. Firms are offering world class educational materials, webinars, seminars, etc. It seems everyone who can fog a window has articles on the internet about investment strategies and ideas – from pot stocks, to crypto-currency, to Roth conversions, etc. It can be daunting trying to figure out where to go and who you can trust.

The truth is there is no one best way to use these tools, resources, and the vast amount of technology at all of our fingertips. But there is just one rule – As the novelist E.M. Forster said, “Only connect.” I’ve been asked a million times if I have a ‘stock tip’ or ‘hot idea’ by friends, family, and clients. 

My recommendation as it relates to investing and financial health is always to develop a financial plan and stay the course. Just as there is no perfect solution for connecting and communicating, there is no perfect investment for everyone.

Now, regarding communication – you can take your pick: You can communicate via blogs, tweets, chat rooms, Facebook, and other social networks.

Or, when investing you can take your pick as well: you can do it yourself and utilize stocks, bonds, funds, ETFs, options, etc. Or, you can have someone do it for you to help keep the emotions out of investing and help keep your plans on track.

CONCLUSION: And so, whether we are talking about connecting and communicating online – or whether we are talking about financial planning or investing my main point is to get started. There are tons of benefits between social connection and good health. There is a ton of correlation between financial piece of mind and good health. So, take an inventory of the tools at your disposal, and let’s discuss some plans and goals for you, and let’s get to work.

On Healthcare Collaboration Trends

Posted on November 24, 2011 by Dr. David Edward Marcinko MBA MEd CMP™

A Lay Perspective

By David K. Luke MIM CMP

[Investment Advisor]

http://www.CertifiedMedicalPlanner.org

Collaboration within healthcare has sprung from the general body of health communication research; ie., crowd-sourcing, etc..

And, there are a number of other emerging trends, visible to the lay man or woman, in the patient collaboration arena today.

1. Cross-Discipline Communication Teams

One trend is the formation of cross-discipline communication teams among health care professionals.  Different disciplines in pairs, small groups and teams now collaborate directly with each other. This is an important development in improving the healthcare delivery process to the patient.

Typically health care providers tend to identify strongly with their own discipline and likewise cross collaboration may be very difficult. But this trend is developing so that Nurses, Social workers, pharmacists and others work with physicians with a full realm of issues. Likewise we see now the Nurse/Physician collaborative, Nurse Practitioner/Physician Collaborative, Social Worker/Physician, Pharmacist/Physician and even Physician/Physician collaborative groups.

2. Clinical Health Care Teams

A second trend in patient collaboration is Clinical Health Care Teams.  A team approach to care and measurable patient outcomes has shown in studies (Cooke, 1997; Cooley, 1994: Fagin, 1992, et al.) as improving overall care for patients. These multidisciplinary teams facilitate and improve training of students in medicine and nursing and other related fields as well.

3. Informal Backstage Communication

Finally, a third emerging patient collaborative trend is the increase is informal backstage communication.

Typically communication in the healthcare setting regarding the patient has been done among the team members in a team meeting setting for a one to two hour collaboration session.

Now we see the emergence of the backstage regions such as the break rooms, hallways, clinic computer desk, work tables, photocopy rooms, and offices. While these encounters between team members are often fleeting and “messy”, the environment within a practice setting can be consciously created to allow for this increased interaction among team members that will certainly improve the care of the patient.

Of course social media and e-communication facilitates this trend.
