TEMIS recently announced that Luxid Content Enrichment Platform was named a winner for the 2013 SIIA CODiE Awards for "Best Semantic Technology Solution". Included in the winners are the information industry's best products, technologies, and services.
Many are concerned about the financial burden that the ICD-10 implementation might create for healthcare providers. However, there are some ways the physicians can improve the clinical documentation and therefore the coding reimbursements. Being creatures of habit, they have tended to rely on memorized codes. If the reliance on memorization is minimized, reimbursements can improve. There are more anatomic specific codes in the new system, and that makes memorization even more difficult.
We're busy putting the final preparations on the Ninth Annual Data Harmony Users Group Meeting. This year's meeting is gearing up to be our biggest and best meeting yet! If we can assist you as you plan your trip to Albuquerque, please contact Heather Kotula or Susan Burritt at any time.
Daminion Software has released its digital asset management (DAM) system, appropriately named Daminion Server. This program is targeted to home users who want to create a centralized photo and video archive that could be accessible from all computers in a local network.
Along with everything else in the world, technology is changing at a rapid rate. This has affected all industries and all types of technology, but especially enterprise technology. This has resulted in a new generation of information architecture: event-driven.
Unstructured data is becoming more prevalent, and few organizations aren’t struggling with how to handle this growing problem. Microsoft’s SharePoint document repository was designed to provide content collaboration and version control, but unfortunately, as the number of users increases, so does the amount of data that is stored in SharePoint.
Computer assisted indexing can be a huge help in building a solid information architecture. We know that. We live that. However, it doesn't solve all the problems. You still need solid medical coding training to face the challenges that will come with the ICD-10 coding classification transition.
While Watson, IBM’s semantic wonder, impressed us all last year, computers are still a long way from being the robotic brains that Hollywood likes to present. Computers can do almost anything, but they still just do what they are told. However, the Semantic Pointer Architecture Unified Network, or Spaun, is quickly moving into the next category of thinking for itself.
