In a recent public comment letter, the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) chided the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) about extending the compliance deadline to Oct. 1, 2014 for adoption of the International Classification of Diseases 10th Revision code sets. As the AHIMA ruefully points out, many members of the healthcare community squandered the three years HHS gave them for the ICD-10 upgrade.
AHIMA is once again speaking against the ICD-10 deadline delay. The College of Healthcare Information Management Executives (CHIME) disagree. They called the one-year delay an appropriate “middle ground” for all stakeholders while urging HHS to remain committed to the new code sets.

Our world is information changing. Big data needs big teams to create and then communicate the results. In the olden days someone would do an experiment, find some interesting results to share, write it up, send to a journal and two years later after peer review copy editing, typesetting (later photo composition), printing, binding, and mailing it would arrive at their colleagues desk. But today the team writes up a big proposal get funding, finds 3000 staff members to work on the experiments, gather the data and publish or otherwise communicate the results. In the first example it was easy to say who the author was, they may have acknowledged others and thanked them for their support. Now there are many roles in research and attribution is complex. I am sure you have noticed how long the credits in the movie theater are now. Will we be moving to a similar model?
Since Siri has fast become a household word in the four months “she” has been around, this personal assistant is permeating sitcoms, stand-up routines and commercials. Apple’s speech-recognition is the kind of technology that both excites and incites fans and foes.
