Internet Use and Brain Atrophy

By Muhammad Saleem

While conventional wisdom teaches us that multitasking makes us more efficient, research suggests that we’re incapable of efficiently managing more than two tasks at a time.

Brain Impact

eHRs, CPOEs and MU … oh my!

If you have a moment, take a break from what you’re doing to look at this infographic on how multitasking induced stress impacts our brains.

Synopsis

Here are some of the findings in brief:

  • Our daily consumption of social media has more than doubled in the last 50 years from 5 hours to 12 hours.
  • The average computer user checks 40 websites a day, switching between programs 36 times an hour.
  • 61% of adults admit to being addicted to the internet.

Assessment

Excessive internet use by doctors and Financial Advisors may lead to the atrophy of grey matter and impact memory, goal-setting, and decision making.

A New Policy Resource For Hospitals and Doctors

Social media is becoming increasingly more prevalent within the healthcare industry.

One thing is certain: clear parameters must be established, so professional and personal lines don’t become blurred.

It’s vital to have a well-diversified and comprehensive social-media policy in place, outlining the dos and don’ts for everyone within your facility.

So, start reducing risk and liability associated with social media, stat—access renowned medical facilities’ social media policies for their guidelines on getting social.

Go Social -OR- Go Home?

By Staff Reporters

Likes, followers, circles, networks and shares are all jargon used around the internet. Social media is the new language and being fluent is very necessary in business today. In fact, we have written about it before on this ME-P. Why?

Social media allows you to connect with your patients, clients, customers and viewers on a level that becomes personalized and more intimate. This in turn brings loyal patients and clients who become a part of your business model; both professionally and socially.

However, social media integration is a gradual process with huge long term rewards, potential benefits and pitfalls. And, the jury is still out on its’ relevance to medical practices, financial advisors and medical management consultants? Or, is it?

Assessment

So, here is an infographic breaking down the important facts and tips of social media.
