Sometimes it surprises me which articles get the most
response. I leave the sophisticated
analytics to Keith, but when I cross-post on LinkedIn groups I see how many
comments and likes the discussion gets.
Sometimes I participate but other times it seems to be doing quite
nicely on its own.
For the past couple of days, the Ed Tech article from
Tuesday has been lighting it up. The
thrust of the discussion is about the contrast between designs that focus on
promoting real education and those that are geared towards business metrics –
cheaper, wider distribution, spiffy tech, long features lists to promote – you know
the drill here. Keith and I are already
queueing up education-related topics for the future, maybe one a week.
Another topic that seems to be getting traction, although it
is early still, is Wednesday's article on the hospital user experience and how it can improve health
outcomes. We have long known about the
power of positive thinking. It shouldn’t
be a surprise that when patients are treated with dignity they experience less
pain, fewer side effects, and heal faster.
Turns out, care-givers do better too.
Fewer errors, more efficient and effective care. So I already have another one of these on my
list – perhaps for early October.
Thursday’s post that cited the Daily Tech News Show was fun
because the host contacted me on Twitter with some great compliments on my
article. I often get retweeted, but Tom
took some real personal time. I can’t
tell you how much I appreciate that.
And then the one that I thought would get the most comments
didn’t. That was Monday’s article on
behavioral nudges in the insurance industry.
Usually the behavioral science folks are pretty reliable commenters on
LinkedIn. But not this week.
