Organized Wisdom, How Many Unclaimed Experts Are You Exploiting? @Matthew Browning - #OrganizedWisdom Profile #endtofarms #rnchat

Matthew?

How many other expert profiles are "unclaimed" out of 5700?

How many of your "Touted" experts have no idea, they are being used?

As a Registered Nurse, Business Owner and Licensed Nurse, I'd strongly object to a website profiling me, then submitting my name, picture and likeness to promote their site.

It is especially misleading for Organized Wisdom to do this since it implies that their curators endorse the links, Drug Advertising and consumer advocacy mission the site claims to be on.

Notify your curators that they are profiled!!!!!

Andrew Lopez, RN

Silent Treatment Study, silenttreatmentstudy.com #rnchat #nursing #nurses

Research and regulatory bodies have long confirmed that poor communication in healthcare is harmful at best and deadly at worst.

In the 2005 study, Silence Kills, VitalSmarts and the AACN found that 84 percent of healthcare professionals observe colleagues take dangerous shortcuts when working with patients and yet less than 10 percent speak up about their concerns.

Since that time, the healthcare community has turned to safety tools and checklists to reduce unintentional slips and errors. And yet, a new study called The Silent Treatment has found that the effectiveness of safety tools is undercut by undiscussables. Every day, healthcare professionals are making calculated decisions to not speak up—even when safety tools alert them to potential harm.

The Silent Treatment reveals that despite the safety interventions taken in the last decade, silence still kills. Safety tools do not compensate for crucial conversations failures in the hospital.

Organized Wisdom (#schizophrenia) What's with hawking drugs to families dealing with #mentalillness ?

As a Registered Nurse, and Expert Curator, I'd strongly object to Drug Advertising being placed next to helpful resources I submit to assist patients and families members deal with a Schizophrenia diagnosis.

Does it not bother you fellow "curators" that Organized Wisdom is using your time and effort, to sell pharmaceutical drugs to consumers?

Does it not bother you that by placing the ad next to your name, likeness you are making an "implied" endorsement?

Tell Organized Wisdom to Quit Displaying Drug Ads next to my submitted content!

Tell Organized Wisdom you are not A Shill for pharmaceutical companies.

You Really Are Paying A Lot More For Health Care : Shots - Health Blog : NPR

OK, health care is expensive. And the costs keep going up.

But the latest report from the green-eyeshade experts at Milliman does include a few surprises about what is — and isn't — driving those costs higher.

First, a tidbit that sort of passes for good news. Last year, health costs rose by 7.3 percent, which is the slowest rate of increase in more than a decade. By comparison, though, the Consumer Price Index rose only about 1.5 percent last year.

 

Now the bad news: Even at that relatively slow rate, the overall increase in the amount of money required to cover a typical family of four in a preferred provider organization was $1,319 in 2011 — the highest figure in the more than 50 years Milliman has been doing this study.

10 Reasons Why you Shouldn’t be a Curator at Organized Wisdom!! Health Experts & Patient Advocates Beware: « Laika's MedLibLog

1. Profiles of Expert Curators are set up without their knowledge and consent
Most curators I asked didn’t know they were expert curators. Simon has spoken with 151 of the 5700 expert curators and not one of those persons knew he/she was listed on OW. (x)

2. The name Expert Curator suggests that you (can) curate information, but you cannot.
The information is automatically produced and is shown unfiltered (and often shown in duplicate, because many different people can link to the same source). It is not possible to edit the cards.
Ideally, curating should even be more than filtering (see this nice post about Social Media Content Curators, where curation is defined as the act of synthesizing and interpreting in order to present a complete record of a concept.)

3. OW calls your profile address: “A vanity URL¹”.

Is that how they see you? Well it must be said they try to win you by pure flattery. And they often succeed….

¹Quote OW: “We credit, honor, and promote our Health Experts, including offering: A vanity URL to promote so visitors can easily share your Health Profile with others, e.g. my.organizedwisdom.com/ePatientDave.
Note: this too is quite similar to the Wellsphere’s approach (read more at E-patients-net

How podcasts can help patients with health literacy, KevinMD.com

by Robert Rodvien, MD

When a person is told that they have a serious illness, they are similar to Alice falling down the rabbit hole.

They enter a bewildering new world of discussions, tests and treatment programs that must be navigated while maintaining a job, life obligations, and relationships with friends and family. Just when a person needs more resilience to stress, anxiety can occur. The ability to function is often diminished in such a state, and, like Alice, many begin to grope for solutions. Patients, family members and friends begin to rely on anecdotes. Others find hope-based messages more acceptable than evidence-based ones. Some patients are willing to do anything that appears constructive even if there is no evidence of success.

Some patients seek to become experts in their field of illness and venture on-line to do so, but entering the world of medicine on-line often creates misguided but nonetheless strongly held beliefs. Much of the accessible material is jargon and advertising rather than unbiased information. Web sites and brochures are rife with marketing language to promote a hospital, company or pharmaceutical product, leaving many who seek information as wary consumers instead of informed patients.
