RESTON, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Software AG introduces its HIPAA Link and HL7 eStandard modules at this year’s Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society 2011 Conference and Exposition (HIMSS11), February 20-24, 2011 at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. HIMSS11 attendees will examine how to utilize the modules to facilitate information exchange and standards compliance associated with healthcare-related transactions at the Software AG booth #1779 in Halls A-B.
“HIPAA compliance has forever changed business processes and forced health organizations to adapt their existing systems to this new reality,” said Bill Stevens, Director of Healthcare and Life Sciences, Software AG. “Now, HIPAA 5010 brings additional mandates and strengthens electronic transmission rules for specific healthcare transactions. Software AG enables organizations to comply with those rules while simultaneously simplifying a complex systems environment.”
Software AG’s webMethods HIPAA Link is a comprehensive and highly scalable solution that allows an organization to receive, parse, and validate all mandated HIPAA transactions and generate appropriate acknowledgements for HIPAA 5010, 4010, and 4010 A1 standards. The module streamlines health care industry transactions by providing a solution for rapid and seamless integration of providers, payers, routers, and sponsors.
The HL7 eStandard module facilitates the hassle-free exchange of healthcare data between different systems. HL7 eStandard integrates with applications, retrieves needed information, formats and validates it to the HL7 standard, and delivers it to stakeholders inside and outside the organization.
“Healthcare organizations generate and consume a significant amount of data, and their systems need to interact with all kinds of other software platforms, including partner, provider and regulatory systems,” Stevens said. “Software AG’s HL7 eStandard module allows any IT platform to be part of a transaction, solving the communication challenges that plague the healthcare industry.”
Visitors to HIMSS can stop by Software AG's booth (#1779, Halls A-B), February 21-23, and see how compliance with the new standards is easier and the information more accessible with HIPAA Link and HL7 eStandard modules.
