Exciting News: On January 7th, 2009, Career Step announced that it has incorporated the Interfix Knowledge Base (KB) www.interfix.biz into it's curriculum. This health information tool is designed to help students as well as practitioners with a robust search process to quickly find medical terminology, lab values, pharmaceutical words with dosing and diagnosis information, and information in the AHDI (Association for Healthcare Documentation Integrity) Book of Style 3rd edition. It also contains a physician database that allows search methods based on different criteria. You can search by location, specialty, name, etc. This comprehensive tool provides state of the art search parameters including wild card searching and the one of the best things about the Interfix KB is that unlike random web searches, this information is validated and accurate.
One other significant advantage that this application provides is electronic-based membership to AHDI. This gives the user access to the professional association for healthcare documentation and opens the door to a great future through information, educational processes, credentialing opportunities and networking.
This research tool will assist medical transcriptionists verify the information they seek in a single step rather than having to search and check various locations for trustworthy information. This represents remarkable progress and revolutionizes previous lookup procedures.

I have read about your Go Green campaign. I realize this has nothing to do with the topic of Career Step adopts Interfix KB. I would just like to mention that I have discovered that trees and solar power are not compatible. We have always been told to plant trees to shade houses, which will keep houses cooler in the summer (especially here in California); however, if you want to put solar power panels on your roof, there will probably be a tree somewhere shading the roof, preventing the sun to do its job on the solar panels.
Thanks for visiting my blog and for your post. You are right, that trees planted in direct opposition of solar panels will block out a good portion of the sun. We have solar panels at our cabin in Wyoming and the panels were placed strategically away from trees. Often they are not placed on the roof at all, but on a separate pole so that they are mostly South-facing. Trees can be planted in such a way to help shade a home and not interfere with solar panels. There are many other ways to go "green" too like recycling, CFL light bulbs, reusable shopping bags, reduced use of plastic bottles that fill up landfills, etc. Again, thank you for your post. It is appreciated.
