Geotagging (or geocoding if you prefer) is the act of associating your content (blog posts, photos, feeds, etc.) with a geographic location (e.g. via latitude and longitude co-ordinates). Thus tagged authors can "mash" their content together with the likes of Google Maps, or the Flickr Map if photography is your thing.

Most clinical systems used in British general practice offer templates to prompt data entry and pick-list formularies for prescribing and coding, but these only go so far. How can a practice take account of this competing management advice to streamline and standardize patient care? The answer, somewhat paradoxically, may be to produce another guideline...
