Editor Steve recently finished reading these two books and recommends them. The first, Klondike Playboy is an autobiography by John Boden, known in this industry as CEO of ElderIssues, Florida, and the second, Pitch Anything, by Oren Klaff is essential reading these days for anyone who has to sell new product ideas. Let's just say you won't want these techniques used against you!
And then, of course, there are the perpetual favourites that everyone in every equipment supplier company should read over and over again, by Geoffrey A Moore.

Senator John Thune advocating an increase in funding for telehealth |

6 minutes 30 seconds. Title: Senator John Thune advocating an increase in funding for telehealth This post continues the focus on the terminology problems (see 'Opinion' above)... In this 6½ minute video of US Senator for South Dakota John Thune successfully advocates an increase in funding for telehealth in October 2007. It is interesting to observe his superordinate use of the term 'telehealth', with 'telemedicine' sometimes seeming to be used interchangeably, and sometimes subordinately to it when contrasted with 'telehomecare".
I'm grateful to Marnee Brick, a speech therapist, for spotting this video. As an ex-speech and language therapist I am delighted to see that she is promoting online therapy. See her site: TinyEYE. However, I do have a problem with her construction of online speech therapy under 'telehealth' in her blog. As I've mentioned previously, the terminology issue here is not with 'tele'. It's what comes after: is speech therapy is a health or an education-related discipline - or something else? This was a debate going on in the UK from at least the '60s. She also uses the term 'telespeech' and 'telepractice'. |
