Every year new challenges present themselves. Sometimes it is in technology, sometimes it is in process, and sometimes it is all of the above. This year and most likely next year, the biggest challenge healthcare organizations are facing involves the ICD-10 coding classification transition. With the deadline postponed to October 2014, that gives an extra year to worry, and plan.
Marjorie M. K. Hlava, founder and chair of Access Innovations, Inc. of Albuquerque, is among 32 New Mexicans honored as 2013 “Women of Influence” by the Albuquerque Business First.
Many articles have been written here and other places about the ICD-10 coding classification transition and the fast approaching deadline of October 2014. Thorough and complex information has been provided to healthcare organizations to help them prepare for this huge change.
Here are two more of the exciting, in-depth case studies we have planned for you at this year's meeting. Semantic Enrichment and Disambiguation for AIP's Scitation Platform: Evan Owens, CIO, Publishing, American Institute of Physics In Spring 2013, AIP Publishing will be launching the next generation of its Scitation e-journal hosting platform on Publishing Technology's pub2web software. All content will be semantically enriched using the new AIP Thesaurus, the development of which was described at the 2012 Data Harmony User Group meeting. The enriched content will be used to create subject pages and enhanced search capabilities. This replaces the PACS classification scheme currently used by AIP publications.
Medical professionals are always concerned about healthcare fraud and with the impending ICD-10 transition, this concerns increases. Detection relies on complex algorithms to detect outliers in claims data, but the concern is that ICD-10 may challenge these algorithms and render them less than efficient.
Registration is now open for the Ninth Annual Data Harmony Users Group Meeting. Sessions will be held February 18-20, 2013 at Access Innovations, 4725 Indian School Road NE, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The DHUG meeting focuses on helping users get the most from their investment in the knowledge management software suite, which supports user organization of their information resources based on a well-built and systematically applied taxonomy or thesaurus.
Earley & Associates (E&A) have released Information Architecture (IA) and indexing services for mobile application providers. Their mobile content architecture services address taxonomy development, content tagging, and user interface design.
The Pope tweeted. Yes, you read correctly. Pope Benedict XVI, now known in the Twitter-sphere as @pontifex, tweeted for the first time on December 12, 2012. What did the Bishop of Rome have to talk about?
