In a few short weeks, we will be in 2013 and though the deadline was extended to October 2014, this impending year will be a busy one for healthcare providers. Getting the project to the milestones will be key to meeting the deadline with a the technology and training needed to make it successful. The American Medical Association (AMA) has provided a fact sheet to help practices establish timeframes for transition activities, breaking down the process into a series of manageable steps.
Many physicians are still not on board with the impending ICD-10 coding classification transition. There is fear around the moving deadline and worry about the added strain on their resources.
In traditional taxonomy construction, you approach the body of knowledge, head for your ivory tower with its closed room and decide on the general structure of the field or discipline. From that single point, or perhaps multiple points, of knowledge, you are going to design a completely new taxonomy … and every now and then that works.
Sysomos is celebrating the indexing of 100,000,000,000 social posts. This milestone of collecting social media data in real time from various sources such as blogs, Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, and news sources is equivalent of 14 times the population of the Earth. Now we know why they say perspective is everything.

They are the same words with different meanings, like lead.
The deadline for compliance with the ICD-10 coding classification may not be until October 2014, but healthcare providers are working hard on preparing for the change. Because of this, Dolbey is hosting a series of webinars focusing on computer-assisted coding (CAC).
The fear factor increases every day we grow closer to the ICD-10 coding classification implementation. Rumors abound at the potential impact almost as much as the Y2K scare of the last decade.
