Book Description

November 28, 2001

“The bottom line is that this solution is going to help us reach new levels of integration with our customers and partners, and make us a more agile organization.” Charles C. Emery, Jr., Ph.D.Sr. V.P. Information Systems and C.I.O.Horizon Blue Cross/Blue Shield of New Jersey

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) mandates standardization in electronic healthcare administration. Washington Publishing Company (WPC)—the main publisher of HIPAA implementation guides—and Microsoft have developed a state-of-the-art solution to help the healthcare industry make this transition smoothly. Based on Microsoft BizTalk™ Server 2000 plus technology from WPC, this standards-based solution for electronic data interchange helps reduce HIPAA compliance costs by accelerating transactions and eliminating paper-shuffling among providers, plans, patients, and payers.

Find out about:

  • THE FUNDAMENTALS: Learn about the origins of HIPAA, who it affects, its goals and compliance dates, and how it impacts existing information systems.
  • THE BUSINESS CASE: Get the facts about the long-term benefits of HIPAA and the logistical consequences of using paper-based claims systems.
  • THE SOLUTION: Find out how the technology in the Microsoft and WPC solution works to help you manage enrollment, claims, payments, and other transactions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the paper it's printed on, July 2, 2002
By 
Will Gunadi (Dallas, TX United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: HIPAA Compliance Solutions (Paperback)
This book contains nothing valuable. The case studies in it are superficial and tells the readers nothing about what's actually going on behind the scene. For example, in the first case, there's an explanation about mapping between X12 837 to some other formats. The example shows a screenshot of a nice GUI that allows the user to map elements of X12 to some other format presumably by using XML mapping. But where does the screen gets its information from? This example doesn't tell us anything about how to come up with a good XML representation of the X12 837 spec. Which is the first thing that any "solutions" would have to start from. I guess it's because of the closed-source nature of everything that Microsoft is doing, that they are afraid of showing the actual processes that they went through. Furthermore, they are actually proud of a solution that employs 6 different servers? the licensing costs alone are enough to put most clearinghouses out of business. If you're looking for an insight on how to actually help someone with HIPAA compiance, don't count on this book to be anything but a waste of money and time.

This review is from: HIPAA Compliance Solutions (Paperback)
If you are looking for practical assistance with HIPAA compliance, look elsewhere. This is nothing but a very long adervertisement for Microsoft products.

1.0 out of 5 stars Where is the "Solutions"?, February 15, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: HIPAA Compliance Solutions (Paperback)
How can someone write book about a solution to a national problem where all they are doing is promoting the WPC product lines and some shallow Microsoft explanation of a server that can be found for FREE from the Microsoft Website. I could not find this book in the store to check it out before buying so I had to buy it. Don't repeat my mistake. Look for a more objective view and solution elsewhere.
Is this ethical to charge money for this book??
