New word of the week = Apptamism . The art of being optimistic about what will happen once an organisation develops its own apps.
I agree that apps need to offer more than their parent website – or what’s the point ?
Offline access to info & data can be important for the segments of society not on all inclusive data packages.
I’ll continue these thoughts on twitter … @stuartberry1
Compassion in NHS is big news this week. The Francis report is out, and all branches of healthcare are considering its implications. This article discusses the fragility of compassion once the environment becomes stressful. When resources ( time, nurses, cleaning staff, etc ) are in short supply then group survival mechanisms kick in.
It’s the old nature vs nurture debate, and it had its routes in the biological evolution of societies and culture. Tribes of people & staff develop ways of differentiating themselves from the people who are not in their tribe. This is done through words (jargon & abbreviations), appearance (uniforms), and rules or regulations which may not be obvious to the uninitiated.
