    The Insanity of Page Rank and Linking Schemes
    Page Rank Myths and MonstersThe Google Page Ranking system does not discriminate between novice and professional level websites. Nor does it award Page Rank where editorial decisions are concerned. Case in point: I've seen well conceived content pages with 10 to 20 out bound links fare no better in Page Rank than a web site with long lists of mismatched links. Both had Page Ranks of 4 even though

    Motivation – Poor Provider's Data Quality

    The provider's demographic data is dynamic by nature. Providers move their offices, add facilities, change their phone numbers, are sanctioned and stop practicing. Poor healthcare provider's data quality affects virtually every aspect of healthcare payer's enterprise, diluting profits and member goodwill. Their applications, interfaces, databases, files and reports currently use legacy provider identifiers. Provider data often exists in not one but many disparate databases throughout a healthcare payer’s IT enterprise, including multiple variations of the same provider record. Provider's variations and discrepancies generate as much as 12 percent of physicians checks returned, raise numbers of support calls, increase manual claim adjudication, and impede identification of billing fraud and abuse. For instance, the cost of single check re-issue alone can reach $20 for opening/handling, researching the correct provider, reissuing and mailing the check.

    Emails Say the Darndest Things
    The advent of email has created a new environment for human interaction which is simultaneously more and less personal, but much less private. Above all, it is unforgiving. Once you click the "send" button, it is as irretrievable as a nickle down a sewerpipe.Consider these actual emails which floated around my office, but probably shouldn't have.
