Content: It is a structured way to transmit data between computer systems using established message formats and standards. Healthcare EDI provides secure electronic data interchange between healthcare institutions, care providers, and patients, and allows for more secure and efficient data processing, including healthcare claims processing. How does EDI work? First of all, we should realize that electronic data interchange healthcare transactions are not just emails or something like this. EDI involves electronic data transmissions between computer systems and applications. And, of course, those systems and applications vary depending on the end-users and the mode of delivery. Among others we can name: P2P EDI (point-to-point EDI)
VAN EDI (value-added network EDI)
Cloud EDI Mobile EDI, etc. It should also be mentioned that when utilizing healthcare EDI transactions healthcare providers must follow HIPAA regulations and ANSI standards. The ANSI (American National Standards Institute) accredits standards developed by standards organizations to be used specifically in the healthcare industry.
