How I am using Google+ Circles

Like I want to make distinction between what I send out to people, I am also making distinctions what I want to read from people. The stream of updates allready in this limited Beta environment is near saturation on what I can process. 
So I am starting to use the ‘Circle’ feature also to streamline the messages I want to read. 
Also struggling with the fact that a lot of ‘unknown’ people march in my following. Do I follow back automatically? At this point yes. They get their own stream and after a while if the content is interesting enough move to a different, more special circle where I will look on a more regular basis. 

This is how Google+ is working out for me at the moment. Curious to hear your experiences.

Zorgvisie – DOT is geschikt om in te voeren #yam

DOT is geschikt om in te voeren

6 juli 2011

De Nederlandse Zorgautoriteit (NZa) acht de nieuwe productstructuur DOT (Dbc’s op weg naar transparantie) goed genoeg om in te voeren. Dat staat in de Definitieve Beoordeling, die de NZa vorige week heeft gepubliceerd.

Dankzij de positieve beoordeling kan de nieuwe productstructuur per 2012 worden ingevoerd. De NZa noemt DOT een fundamentele verbetering ten opzichte van de dbc-structuur. “Doordat de dbc-zorgproducten in DOT specialisme-overstijgend zijn gedefinieerd, wordt de zorg herkenbaarder en transparanter.“

DBC-Onderhoud

Dat DOT gereed is om in te voeren, betekent niet dat het pakket nu ook helemaal klaar is. De NZa zal samen met DBC-Onderhoud en in overleg met veldpartijen een doorontwikkelprogramma opstellen om DOT op punten nog te verbeteren. Zo wordt onder meer de gespecialiseerde zorg nog beter gedefinieerd. In november worden de tarieven voor dure medicijnen en intensive care bepaald. Na de zomer volgen de bij de dbc-zorgproducten behorende honorariumtarieven voor specialisten.

Veldpartijen

De NVZ vereniging van ziekenhuizen, NFU, Zorgverzekeraars Nederland, Orde van Medisch Specialisten en Zelfstandige Klinieken Nederland namen zitting in een adviescommissie over DOT. Alle partijen zouden zich in het oordeel kunnen vinden. In het nieuwe declaratiesysteem worden met ingang van 2012 de ruim 30.000 bestaande diagnosebehandelingcombinaties vervangen door 4.400 nieuwe dbc-zorgproducten.

Google+ as a Work Tool | Digitizd #yam @myen

July 5, 2011  |  Awesome Apps, Linklog

I’ve been using Google+ for almost a week now, and I like it more and more every day. It’s a great way to manage different, often concentric, groups of people, among many other things. One thing I hadn’t considered, though, is how well Google+ might work in a workplace setting. Simon Mackie explains:

Google+ is a lot like Facebook, offering users the ability to connect to other users, post status updates, share links and photos, and so on. But where it differs from apps like Facebook is its use of Circles, which allows users to define groups of contacts and then only share specific updates and other information with that group. Circles are effectively easy-to-understand privacy controls. They can be set up via an intuitive drag-and-drop interface, and there doesn’t appear to be any limitations on the number of them you can define.

You could, for instance, have a Circle for all of your work colleagues, a Circle for your team and then also create ad hoc Circles for project teams as required. This ability to easily control who you share specific pieces of information with is powerful, and very useful in the workplace: you may only want to send an update regarding the status or a project to only those colleagues working on that project, for example.

I have been using it too for a week now. And I am switching no doubt. This is Twitter, Yammer and Facebook all in one. Social Media done right. Collaboration, geolocation, co-working, sharing knowledge and information…it’s all there in essence. When Google puts on the extra services they have lying around (Docs, Agenda, Mail, Reader and Search) there is no say it where this might go. Very powerfull stuff!!
