What Does the Future Hold for Search?
The act of search continues to evolve and grow as technology does the same. Semantic technology takes search to a new level.

Webinar to Assist with ICD-10 Transition
With the many challenges facing healthcare organizations as they prepare for the ICD-10 coding classification transition, many are seeking help.
Don’t Miss the Data Harmony Users Group Meeting on February 18-20, 2013
On Tuesday evening, join us for dinner at the Albuquerque Aquarium, part of the ABQ BioPark, along the majestic Rio Grande in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Our dinner site is next to the 285,000-gallon shark tank, which is home to five species of sharks, several sea turtles, dozens of manta rays and even a few barracudas. (Fear not! Our dinner menu will be different from the inhabitants of the tank! We do not plan to have fish on the menu Tuesday night!)

This particular science blogger took time to explain for the confused few while reviewing GoPubMed, an ontology-based browser.
Debating the Issue
We just reported yesterday on the American Medical Association's (AMA) continued battle to stop the ICD-10 coding classification transition that is due to be finished in October 2014. Today, we learn about the American Health Information Management Association (AHIMA) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) responses to their protests.
Fighting the ICD-10
Even with the deadline coming faster and faster, the American Medical Association continues their resistance to the ICD-10 coding classification transition.
