Microsoft launched new company logo in 25 years.

Timing is very good to well renown that the big brand name of computer field Microsoft changed their previous logo with new one. This marks the first change in Company-Wide Microsoft branding since 1987, when the sans serif font was adopted. The logo is easily recognizable as the same icon posted above each and every Microsoft retail store. Microsoft spokesperson Jeff Hansen told the Seattle Times that the colors represent “the diversity of our products and the diversity of people that we serve.”

                                                                New Logo of Microsoft 

Old Logo of Microsoft
The new font used in the new logo tempts me to say the new logo seems to be old fashioned. Anyhow by changing the old logo, Microsoft is trying to signal that it has changed its thinking and its products to cater to people who are interacting with technology much differently than just a decade ago, let alone a quarter century.

Timing here is critical with the launch of Windows 8, WindowsPhone 8, and Office 2013 imminent. In the next few weeks Microsoft has television and web commercials planned featuring the new branding, and announcing the launch of their products this upcoming holiday season.In lieu with the new logo, the company has published a short introductory video on its official YouTube channel.

How Doctors can Use Facebook to Connect with Patients.

The line that has defined the relationship between medical doctors and their patients is quickly being blurred by social media.  Many doctors are on Facebook, Twitter and other social media outlets, or at least their practices are. Doctors are engaging patients on these platforms, because it is an efficient way to reach out to patients.  They can even delegate most of the tasks to a certified medical assistant or another office worker.

Before exploring the ways that doctors can responsibly use social media, a precautionary warning must be given.  As already mentioned, the relationship between doctor and patient is being blurred by these technological advancements.  It is the medical provider’s responsibility to maintain appropriate boundaries.  Healthcare providers, their assistants and staff must also not disclose any personal information on the internet.  HIPPAlaws still apply to the internet (at least in the U.S.), and almost everything posted or tweeted can be tracked to a specific individual.  Anyone with concerns should consult with a lawyer familiar with the HIPPA laws.  (This is neither medical nor legal advice).

Having considered the dangers of social media, here are some ways doctors can use social media to strengthen their practice.  Usually it is a medical assistant who knows the patients best, because the doctor is extremely busy.  With social media, patients can feel more connected to everyone at the office.

Post Stories of Success and Gratitude

Assuming they have a release from a patient or remove all personal information from a note, a medical practice can post stories of success and gratitude.  Patients usually go to doctors when they are ill.  Publishing brief stories of people who recovered is encouraging to those who are currently suffering.  Even simple thank-you notes are uplifting.

Post Pictures and Videos of Newborns

Obstetricians can take the above idea a step further, provided they have a release from the newborn’s parents.  Some have had great success posting videos of newborns they have delivered.  After an infant is calm and aquatinted with his or her mother, a medical assistant can take the video and publish it.  Parents also would appreciate a copy of the video.

Post Explanations of Treatments and Procedures

Patients often go to the internet for medical information, and who better to provide it than their own personal doctor or nurse?  Medical professionals can educate their patients on the treatments and procedures they perform most often through online articles.  This also can reduce the number of questions patients have during their visit, thus easing the ever-stretched appointment time.  The most successful doctors publish purely informative pieces, not sales pitches.

Take Polls

Facebook is a great platform for taking polls.  These can be serious, about a patient’s experience, to improve the practice.  They also can be purely fun, such as “What is your favorite hotdog topping?”  The latter example makes the office seem more personable, and staff members can engage in an online debate: ketchup or mustard?

Doctors’ offices have used all of these ideas to enhance the level of care they provide.  In most cases, doctors do not post the material themselves.  They often ask a certified medical assistant or medical technician, who has some knowledge in medicine but fewer time demands.
