A cure for coding. Ask any doctor what the three things they hate most are and you're sure to hear the following, in varying order: EMR data input; reimbursement; and coding. The first two will continue to be a pain for some time. The third just got a bit easier to address (but only a very little bit). Dr. Resnik, an expert in computational linguistics and natural language processing, developed the technology behind CodeRyte, a startup that automates diagnostic coding for physicians. Talk about wringing out efficiencies: the entire industry of coding consultants could  be downsized with this stuff. Dr. Resnik is a past recipient of the Rubinoff Award, which is granted annually “for an advance in innovative application of computer technology.”  He is an Associate Professor in the Department of Linguistics and the Institute for Advanced Computer Studies, at University of Maryland, College Park. He has an affiliate appointment in Computer Science. Others run the company, but Dr. Resnik still serves as a technical advisor. CodeRyte is funded by list-members Roberts and Hull.
