Netiquette Positive Effects - Tabula Rosa Sysytems Blog For 1/11/2015

Good Netiquette (What Does It Do for You?)

“There is no room for margin of error.”

—Yogi Berra

There are various benefits of using Netiquette, including that it

·         gives you an edge over other email users

·         empowers results when you go on job interviews and send out résumés

·         fosters traditional letter-writing quality and effectiveness

·         offers a means to incorporate a sense of process in your communications

·         assists you in focusing on what you want to say and how to say it.

During the past several years, I have devoted many hours to evaluating and researching Netiquette to summarize and emphasize best practices for making almost anyone’s emails better. Additionally, I believe that I have put together the information that will allow this to happen quickly—a fast-track method. In my blog posts (http://netiquetteiq.blogspot.com); in my first book, Netiquette IQ: A Comprehensive Guide to Improve, Enhance and Add Power to Your Email; and now in this second book, I have mentioned that the slightest edge can make all the difference for any job seeker. The smallest error can result in your email being abandoned and your résumé never read. Just imagine if this happens and you are the best candidate!

        Good Netiquette will not just give you a small edge; rather, it will offer a big advantage. Unlike a human IQ or a career skill such as law, medicine, or the like, Netiquette IQ (NIQ) can be improved upon very quickly. Using the NIQ process, after 60 minutes, a discernable difference will occur. However, the concept and purpose of this book is to go beyond the initial Netiquette Quick Start (NQS) by providing additional tools and information to assist you in going forward. In addition to the NQS, each item in this book has more detailed information and, in many cases, samples to assist the reader in greater detail. Finally, the book provides a significant and practical set of appendices to serve as a library to add power to your email or to clarify many issues related to email.

Tabula Rosa Systems Tech Term Of The Day - Medical Body Area Network (MBAN)

Medical Body Area Network (MBAN)

Part of the Healthcare IT glossary: from whatis.com

An MBAN (pronounced M-ban) is a medical body area network (BAN) composed of low-power wearable or implanted wireless medical devices.
Wearable devices are typically low-cost, disposable sensors that stick to the body and free the patient from being being physically tethered to monitoring devices. Embedded devices may be sensors that are swallowed for short-term monitoring or placed in the body during surgery to monitor physical parameters during and after the healing process. The sensors transmit patient data wirelessly to a control device located either on the patient’s body or in close proximity to it. The control device, which functions as a hub, aggregates data from the sensors and transmits the patient's information over a wireless local area network (WLAN) or local area network (LAN) to a workstation in real time.

In 2012, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) set aside 40 MHz of protected spectrum in the 2360-2400 MHz band specifically for wireless medical devices. The dedicated spectrum for medical data has made medical data transmission both more reliable and faster and prevented interference from Wi-Fi devices.
MBAN devices using the protected spectrum operate under a license-by-rule basis; devices must have Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval before they can be used in hospitals, but individuals do not need to apply for transmitter licenses.

Tabula Rosa Systems Blog For 1/10/2016 - Email Can Be A Bad Habit And A Health Hazard

Psychologists warn constant email notifications are 'toxic source of stress'

A culture has developed where people must feel they are constantly available for work, study reveals.

By Lucy Clarke-Billings

2:35PM GMT 02 Jan 2016 www.telegraph.co.uk

The secret to happiness is to ignore an endless stream of emails by turning off your app, according to psychologists who warn constant updates are a "toxic source of stress".

Due to technology enabling people to be at their email’s constant beck and call, a culture has developed where people must feel they are constantly available for work, according to research.

As a result, an “unwritten organisational etiquette” has become ingrained in the workplace and employees have developed habits which negatively impact on their emotional well-being.

Studies have found that continuously checking and reading emails due to a ‘push notification’ feature which alerts users to new messages even when they are not in their Mail app, prompts signs of tension and worry.

And experts have recommended that switching off the ‘Mail’ app on your mobile phone will alleviate anxiety both in and out of the office.

A report from the London-based Future Work Centre, which conducts psychological research on people's workplace experiences, said emails were a "double-edged sword" that provided a useful means of communication but could also be a source of stress.

"Whilst it can be a valuable communication tool, it's clear that it's a source of stress of frustration for many of us,"

Dr Richard MacKinnon

Urging users to seize control of their email instead of being ruled by it, the authors said: "You may want to consider launching your email application when you want to use email and closing it down for periods when you don't wish to be interrupted by incoming emails.

"In other words, use email when you intend to, not just because it's always running in the background."

The team surveyed almost 2,000 working people across a range of industries and occupations in the UK about the pros and cons of using email.

They found that two of the most stressful habits were leaving email on all day and checking emails early in the morning and late at night.

There was a "strong relationship" between use of the "push" feature that automatically updates emails on devices as soon as they arrive and perceived email pressure.

Higher email pressure was associated with more examples of work having a negative effect on home life, and home life having a negative impact on performance at work.

Lead author Dr Richard MacKinnon said: "Our research shows that email is a double-edged sword. Whilst it can be a valuable communication tool, it's clear that it's a source of stress of frustration for many of us.

"The people who reported it being most useful to them also reported the highest levels of email pressure. But the habits we develop, the emotional reactions we have to messages and the unwritten organisational etiquette around email, combine into a toxic source of stress which could be negatively impacting our productivity and wellbeing."

Email pressure was highest among younger people and steadily decreased with age, according to the findings presented at the British Psychological Society's Division of Occupational Psychology annual meeting in Nottingham.

Those working in IT, marketing, public relations, the internet and media were most affected by email stress.

More than 30 per cent of this group received more than 50 emails a day and more than 65 per cent allowed their devices to update emails round the clock.

Experts in digital distraction and productivity have suggested managing the stresses of constant email communication by limiting how often the app is checked, setting Out Of Office replies more frequently and resigning to the fact that, if a matter is urgent, employers will attempt to make contact with a phone call.

In 2014, an estimated 196.3 billion emails were sent around the world, according to the report.

The average adult spent more than an hour a day consulting emails.
