How HIPAA PM Messaging Works

HIPAA PM operates using the following basic functional layers:

• View: eInsight provides the ability to create and view the structure of HIPAA eXchange Projects, and the eXchange Message Tracking feature allows the searching and viewing of sent and received HIPAA messages. HIPAA PM Message Tracking includes interleaved error reports to allow pinpoint tracking of system messaging errors.

• Services Orchestration: You use the eXchange Partner Manager (ePM) to design HIPAA Transaction Sets; then the appropriate HIPAA Projects prepare and return the interchange and functional acknowledgments (TA1 and 997) to the TP. HIPAA Projects also perform message correlation to associate business responses to the related requests. A HIPAA B2B Host Project manages and coordinates the HIPAA messaging operations.

• Integration Services: The HIPAA Project handles Interchange Envelope (ISA) and Functional Group (GS) enveloping from incoming messages, prepares these envelopes for outgoing messages, batches together documents to be delivered as a single transaction (ISA), and records the activity in Message Tracking. You may configure these enveloping parameters using ePM.
