The standards-based iWay Integration Solution for HIPAA reduces the amount of effort it takes to integrate HIPAA documents with your internal enterprise applications and third-party trading partners. It includes conversion and validation of documents from HIPAA to XML format, making it easy to include HIPAA documents in your XML-based integration projects.

Features of the iWay Integration Solution for HIPAA include:

• Integration with iWay Service Manager to provide bi-directional (synchronous and asynchronous) conversion of HIPAA formats and XML. Interactions between application servers, integration brokers, third-party software packages, and messaging services is also supported.
• Integration with iWay Trading Partner Manager to provide routing, custom transformation by document, and other value-added features.
• Integration with more than 200 other information assets, including J2EE-based back-office systems; data structures such as DB2, IMS, VSAM, and ADABAS; and front-office systems based on Sybase.
• Integration with leading application servers, integration brokers, and development environments. Supported software platforms include BEA WebLogic, IBM WebSphere, Sun Java Enterprise System, and Oracle Application Server.

• Reusable framework for parsing, transforming, and validating HIPAA documents without the need to write custom code.
• Data dictionary approach that facilitates HIPAA-to-XML transformations.

It supports flat files, comma-delimited files, popular relational database formats, XML, and more.
• Pre-built data dictionaries, XML schemas, transformation templates, and rule files for automatic transformation and validation of input and output documents.
