Peter Barry and I will be presenting a session on Identifiers, EDI Addressing and Routing at the Fourth National HIPAA Summit at the Renaissance Marriott in Washington, DC. on Friday, April 26, 2002 at 8:00 a.m. See http://www.hipaasummit.com/ for more information about the HIPAA Summit.
Peter will cover the National Plan and Provider IDs, their enumeration, and the database requirements for their maintenance. This is a topic surely to ignite passion. In order to cool folks down, Peter has arranged for me to follow him, and I will present some of our plans from the Joint WEDI/SNIP and AFEHCT ID & Routing Special Interest Group. If you're attending the HIPAA Summit this week, please try to take advantage of this opportunity to get a "picture" of how all the pieces-parts of directories, electronic Trading Partner Profiles, identifiers, and EDI Addresses will tie together. The WEDi/SNIP ID & Routing group is developing recommendations for the "auto-discovery" of trading partners (payers, providers, third-party administrators, etc.) and their technical capabilities. Borrowing from ebXML, we plan to devise an XML schema for an electronic Healthcare Collaboration-Protocol Profile (CPP) - basically an electronic trading partner profile. CPPs will be located by Trading Partner ID of any participant involved in HIPAA Health Care EDI - either through a DNS-based "directory" of our own design, or possibly UDDI or the OASIS ebXML Registry. Please join the WEDi/SNIP ID & Routing group by going to http://snip.wedi.org/listserv/ and signing up for "Routing."
