FUSE (Find, Use, Share, Expand) Orthopaedic Knowledge
Orthopaedia strives to enable orthopaedic surgeons, residents, medical students and allied health professionals to Find, Use, Share and Expand orthopaedic knowledge.
FUSE (for Find, Use, Share, and Expand) was introduced by Yahoo! and is based on their vision for using search to fuse a myriad of services and applications, all of which center on knowledge and its application.
We really like the concept "Find, Use, Share, Expand". The potential from what it implies is huge. Be it search, learning, knowledge, or social networks most of what we do today can be summed up in this simple statement.
