Wikipedia is an online encyclopaedia. These informational websites were useful because they supported their content with evidence and compelling logic as well as using several sources of information. The baby centre website is also an online resource providing medically reviewed information. However for the purpose of this assignment I chose to focus on the articles comments. Facebook is a social media platform dedicated to public interaction.
The scope of this paper will begin by discussing how my use of online sources has developed over the period of the course. It will then examine how Metzgar (2007) has influenced my ability to search and evaluate the credibility and reliability of various online sources. Finally, I will identify the advantages and limitations I faced whilst working in an online collaborative community and how I dealt with those circumstances. My concept of using online resources has broadened since week 1 when I went back to the basics and touched on the history behind the uprising of what we now call the World Wide Web. Amazingly, the first e-mail was sent 43 years ago, back in 1971, and then it took a further 28 years before we saw the first online social network, Friends Reunited, in 1999 (The University of North Carolina, 2013).
While the Medical Assistant role continues to expand, career advancement remains limited. It also discusses the improvements that are needed in MA training, development of new skills, and the retention that is needed to effectively integrate Mas into a team model of care. AAMA Medical Assisting Salary Survey (2011) www.aama-ntl.org/resources/library/salsurvey. This was a survey administered in 2004 by mail to 10,000 Medical Assistants. This survey discusses the average salary and hourly pay for both CMAs and non-CMAs.
I will gather market research for example through online feedback; this means we can improve customer service through feedback areas. Feedback online will help to make our website better which means if customers find it difficult to navigate the site they can fill in the feedback application. Here is my contacts page for my website page RRsports. Here customers can see where to find us and also ring if they have any complaints or queries. Customers can contact us by email, Mobile phone and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

The purpose of this paper is to examine a medical website to determine the accuracy and usability of the information for the layperson, and also to aide in the development of personal skills to scrutinize websites using reasonable evaluation criteria. Initially, I searched for the drug tikosyn (dofetilide), but found the information too specific, so I decided to broaden my search to the medical condition atrial fibrillation. I was able to use Google as my search engine. The website I have settled on is http://www.emedicinehealth.com (Davis n.d.). Emedicinehealth.com is owned and operated by WebMD.
I have chosen to research the Paleo diet for my assessment to build on my knowledge and understanding of what the diet entails. I began my research by using four online sources, two informative websites and two social media platforms. Through my research I learnt that the Paleo diet is a way of eating based on how Paleolithic or "Caveman" ancestors ate. It’s premise is based on eating whole foods and excludes grains, legumes and some dairy amongst other things. I will be evaluating these sources based on my research, reflecting on how these social networks helped me learn by outlining the credibility and reliability of these sources.
Miller, Ph.D., “who is Professor of Health Economics in Residence at the Institute for Health &Aging, University of California San Francisco (UCSF). He received his doctorate in economics from the University of Michigan in 1987, and has been a UCSF faculty member since 1989” (Miller, n.d.). I began to see his stance on why implementing the EMR system, he first navigated through various types of research, then put knowledge gained to use in seeing how effective the EMR system really is and if benefits really do arise. First he interviewed a multitude of physicians to see if they use the electronic system in their office, only about thirteen percent of respondents said they used it on a regular basis. This is a small group that has put this system into affect but the EMR community is gradually growing and improving.
