Subject: Medical Design Online, feature on ebXML
TO: MAE team Rachel Foerster is featured in Medical Design Online, a VerticalNet site, talking about ebXML and the health care industry's noticable lack of participation. See http://www.medicaldesignonline.com/content/hubs/dir.asp?hub=news . One possible reason for the health care world's lack of participation is the legal requirement for health care providers and payers to comply with administrative simplification provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) of 1996. HIPAA's guidelines call for implementing X12 transaction sets by 2002 for larger companies and 2003 for the little guys. While ebXML might be the right thing to do, HIPAA is the law. Just my two Yen from someone who has hung around too many HIPAA meetings. I hope everyone survived Tokyo. Welcome back; best regards.
