Artificial Intelligence Not Quite There Yet
Technology continues to amaze us. Remember when a fax machine impressed us? Now they are teaching computers to analyze and understand the real world, or at least they are trying.
The Implementation Costs Continue
The Center for Health and Human Services recently announced the new deadline for the ICD-10 coding classification transition was being postponed to October 1, 2014. Healthcare providers are struggling to meet the requirements without breaking the bank. It is easy to see the dollars and more dollars and more dollars being spent (sorry I derailed), but the return on investment is much more ambiguous.
Compatibility Can Assist in Finding Your Data
Drupal combines their business workflow tools seamlessly with a suite of core modules like of, such as taxonomy and roles. Their tutorial helps users learn how to create a corporate collaborative authoring system without having to resort to writing PHP code.
Has Semantic Search Changed the Price of Search?
History has tried to tell us that paying for search rankings is a very bad thing. However, it is interesting that Google has begun to accept payments for inclusion in some of its newest search products. This was evident recently with its Google Hotel Finder and Google Flight Search, where Google looks to be taking some kind of payment in order to be included in the results. This is also evident with Google Advisor, which offers links to financial services and products.
ICD Who?
So what is this thing called ICD-10 and why is it impacting so many people? ICD-10, an international disease coding system, is mandated for adoption in the U.S. by Oct. 1, 2014. At least that is the current deadline. There have many been key players in this arena speak out against a different, usually farther out, deadline. The current and soon-to-be outdated ICD-9 disease coding system is made up of only 1/5 the number of disease codes the new ICD-10 contains. This huge change will impact many avenues of the healthcare system.

What is the Difference Between ICD-9 and ICD-10?
Information Management (HIM) technology and service has received the highest scores for provider perception that its precyseCode(TM) computer assisted coding (CAC) solution will meet their needs. Precyse was recognized for their strong technology in comparison to competing vendors. With ICD-10 looming on the horizon on some unforeseen date, the difference between ICD-9 and ICD-10 can be daunting and foreign to those attempting to prepare for the transition. At its core, the difference is five times the number of codes.
Speeding Up IT Purchasing
Purchasing isn’t easy in any business, but for information technology professionals, the endless variations of the same product and dissimilar ways to describe the products, it can be a real challenge.
Semantic Technology Changes Things
As humans, we need context and narrative to discern the meanings of facial expressions, word usage and many other life situations. This is what makes us different from say, animals and machines.
