The conference dial-in information (special for this meeting) is: Dial 877-292-2287 Pin 265753 Thank you, Ed Edward A. Hafner Foresight Corporation Chief Technology Officer +1.614.791.1600 Proposed Name: Evaluating and Reporting Original Description: "The purpose of this white paper is to provide analysis and insights into effective reporting of receiver evaluations of HIPAA transactions. The scope of the evaluations includes reporting the results of syntactical analysis against the underlying X12 standards, the constraining X12N implementation guide specifications and the application of the receiver's business rules. The paper will also identify various techniques and mechanisms that are available and can be used to provide the necessary evaluation reporting at every step of the transaction lifecycle. With sufficient detail and information reported by the receiver, the originator can take appropriate corrective action, recognizing that the goal is not mere compliance with either X12 standards s or X12N implementation guides, but rather the successful processing of the transaction set by the receiving business application system."
