Shikhar ,
It sounds like you need to find an EDI class/seminar. There are a number of
vendors that do
this. For starters look at www.disa.org , www.wedi.org . Do you have
somebody on staff that
is familiar with HIPAA? There are a number of healthcare related
organizations that have conferences,
3 going on this week. Next week there is Ecommerceworld going on in San
Francisco.
Are you the new project lead for EDI at Tufts?
