Will You Add? - Electronic Medical Billing Knowledge Base With Communal Document Control + Adaptive Search Software
Promotional mouse mats are great gifts for conventions or trade shows, and are a fun way to get your business name and company information out to clients and potential clients. They are big enough for real advertising to your customer base, and are useful rather than just novelty items like some promotional gifts can be. A great way to make them even more useful is to pair them with something else that is useful as well: coasters for the desk.When people think of desk sets, they are more likely thinking of pen holders and in boxes rather than a matching mouse mat and coaster, however these other kinds of desk sets can prove to be just as useful as the other. Mouse mats are very useful all by themselves, but how many people think to bring coasters in to their office? One too many coffee stains, and your customers will be wishing that they had thought to bring a coaster in for their desk before it was too late.How fortuitous that you should have a mouse mat and matching coaster for them, then, so that they don’t have to think of these things by themselves. Instead of ha

It has always been a mystery to me why certain chief executive officers do such a poor job hiring key executives for their management teams.A lot of folks would agree with the idea that a company's performance (or lack thereof) starts at the top with its key officers and trickles down through managers at different levels to the professional (or less professional) staff members.Harry Truman became more famous as America's 33rd President when he popularized such phrases as "The buck stops here" and "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." Truman understood a thing or two about taking responsibility for the performance of an organization (or a business).Truman, a Midwest boy born and bred in Missouri, was a folksy, unassuming president who was forced out of his re-election campaign in 1952, and left office as one of the most unpopular chief executives in history.Historical scholars, however, have treated Truman more kindly in polls ranking the Presidents. He has never been listed lower than ninth, and was most recently ranked se
Google's Limitations
As of the end of January 2005, the indexable Web was estimated at 11.5 billion pages [Gulli and Signorini], growing from 200 million pages in 1997. Without effective search engines, such as Google, the Web would either not achieve such huge proportions in such a short time or become the epitome of document anarchy. Internet search engines in general and Google in particular have transformed the World Wide Web from stagnant data repository with a slow and result-poor search process to a dynamic world of continuously expanding and rich source of information of gargantuan proportions.
Google today represents state of the art of "group mind," which is defined by people who actively create and manage text on the Internet and hyperlinks to that text. Its success is rooted in relevance of retrieved results and in high speed of result retrieval. Google proved that using page popularity to rank its relevance to the original query has tremendous pragmatic value to the broadest groups of Internet users.
However, the same popularity-based search algorithms also cause imperfections and frustrations. Google superimposes only minimal order to this anarchy, just enough to find tons of interesting information but far from serving a comprehensive reference source. It would be a mistake to rely on Google for an ultimate source of reference information [Hargittai]. The list of Google's shortcomings includes
- Low precision. Google does not return an answer or solution to your problem. Instead, you receive a set of links to Web pages with information of various degrees of relevance to your search. This kind of answer results in multi-step operation, where you first must identify the most promising links, then "drill in" for more information, refine your initial search and repeat the entire process. For instance, a search for "medical billing" returns ads for medical jobs, career guides, online learning courses, and advertisements for billing products.
- No context. For example, a search for "medical compliance," retrieves advertisement to hire reimbursement compliance consultants along with a source for the top quality disposables, and government employment regulations for leave of absence due to medical necessity. A search for "billing compliance," retrieves pages containing descriptions of compliance programs at universities, descriptions of compliance training courses, etc.
- "GoogleWashing." GoogleWashing is a process of altering online associations with a keyword by prolific linking using external sources, e.g., blogs. The downside of this process is that it excludes other high value reference sources, e.g., books or articles unavailable for Google indexing and promotes commercial sites only.
- Commercialization instead of education. For example, a search for "medical claims processing" retrieves "tips on starting a medical claims processing business" and advertising for companies looking for billing salespeople and selling claims processing software and services, instead of references to and descriptions of processes or summarized product/service reviews.
- Unknown credibility. Its responses do not have an external source of credibility rating. They are ranked according to a "popularity" formula.
- No feedback. Limited and indirect ability to influence the search results by creating or deleting links. Complete lack of ability to modify search results or search terms.

You have got past the resume section and your interviewer has made an appointment to see you. You have your verbal script prepared with things to say and not to say. You chosen your best clothes and got your best smile ready. One thing to not forget is the awareness of your body language. They speak much more of you than your words.An interviewer who has conducted many interviews are adept at detecting various emotional giveaways like fear, boastfulness. Insecurity or lack of confidence by observing the candidates body language. Be sure to take note of that.Your handshake should be firm but not like a vice-like grip. A dead fish handshake is definitely a no-no. The first handshake will determine your attitude towards your company and your interviewer. It tells how passionate you are in joining the company.Smile confidently and give a firm but warm hand shake to let your interviewer know you are open and decisive.Pay attention your body language when you speak to avoid giving your interviewer mixed thoughts and feelings when your words spoken do not correspond

Thinking of a career as a proofreader? Then you will most likely want to know about salaries. Are you hoping to hear that you will make thousands and thousands of dollars a month in this field? It is very possible that you will barely make a few hundred when you are first starting out. There is no guarantee of a paycheck in this field. If you do not provide quality work, you probably will not have many clients returning for repeat work. Proofreading as a career is hard, but when you get in the door, you may do fairly well. Proof reader salaries are not glamorous, but they can be fairly good.To find out about salaries, you can look at any of the websites that offer postings for this line of work. It can be said that proofreader salaries are among the best in the writing field, but they are not going to make anyone a millionaire. In fact, the only way to know for sure what you will make is to get a job in the field. There are a couple things that can help you predict the level of qualifications that you have though.First, proofreading salaries are based on qualificat

Direct marketing and direct mail can work for a mobile carwash company. Most mobile carwash companies are quite happy with the word-of-mouth advertising and referrals they get from providing excellent service to previous customers. This is great indeed, however by using a targeted direct mail and direct marketing package to achieve more business a mobile carwash company can cluster their customers close together.The closer together that customers are for a mobile carwash the easier it is for them to remain efficient and this means less travel time between customers and therefore less fuel expended. With gasoline at 3 dollars per gallon it makes sense to cluster customers and put them closer together and this is one thing that direct marketing and direct mail can do for a mobile carwash company.I have been a mobile carwash business for 27 years and I have always felt that if you keep your routes consolidated that you can wash more cars in a day and therefore make more money. You can also add more units to your business to handle more consolidated routes. Direct mail an

Wiki - Shared Knowledge Repository on the Web
Wiki technology aims at the middle ground between the extremes of the spectrum defined by Google and book encyclopedias. Wiki takes the concept of shared inter-article repository on the Web to the next, intra-article level, allowing multiple contributors share editing process of the same document. By localizing and focusing shared efforts to the same documents, the resulting sites achieve relevance degrees unobservable to popularity-based search engines.
Wikipedia is the most popular example of Wiki: BBC News has called Wikipedia "one of the most reliably useful sources of information around, on or off-line." Wikipedia, like numerous other wikis, is void of commercialization and link-driven popularization. However, Wikipedia has two other problems:
- Limited depth in spite of data availability on the Internet. For instance, a search for "Straight Through Billing," "Billing Compliance," or "Medical Billing Transparency" returns no results.
- Limited search capabilities, most notably sharing with Google low precision and lack of context.
Search experts used specialization to approach both problems above. Separate specialized wikis for reference and education solve limited depth problem and separate specialized search engines solve limited search problem. For instance, BillingWiki.com is a result of collaborative effort to document a narrowly defined body of knowledge related to medical billing. As a Wiki, it started without a popularity-based search engine, relying on its narrowly defined body of knowledge, which allows deeper penetration into specific topics. It is easy to see the emergence of multiple wikis, each dedicated to narrowly defined, specific topic.
BillingWiki Enhanced with Specialized Billing Search Engine
A special purpose Billing Search Engine integrated within BillingWiki allows the members of a community interested in medical billing to improve their search experience. Such reinforced BillingWiki solves several shared shortcomings of Google and Wiki, while retaining key advantages of collaborating and specialization.
A major advantage of Billing Search Engine over standard Google's search is the ability to allow users to indicate satisfaction with the search result and to influence its future behavior. Specifically, Billing Search Engine allows to:
- Edit result relevance by promoting or demoting entries on the result page.
- Create and maintain dynamic context, eliminating non-relevant results.
- "Learn" from the community by continuously enhancing the set of search terms both by adding/deleting search terms and modifying their relative importance.
- Edit and visually communicate the degree of relevance of the search terms. The search engine displays search terms and modifies their font size (color) to reflect relative term popularity.
For example, a search for "Billing Compliance" using specialized Billing Search Engine returns pages containing compliance solutions, descriptions of compliance terminology, audit risk management, and numerous examples of and press releases about billing compliance violations.
Summary
Google search may not be the optimal solution for professionals interested in most current reference material and innovations in straight through medical billing, compliance management, billing transparency, preferential patient scheduling, electronic medical records, and computer aided coding.
