Step | Description |
1 | The external system sends a document to Integration Server, which can be: In an internal format used by the external system A valid HIPAA message |
2 | The actions performed on Integration Server depend on the type of document sent. If the external system sends: Documents in an internal format, define logic on Integration Server to map the data from the internal format to a standard HIPAA message. Valid HIPAA messages, Integration Server needs only to send the HIPAA message to the receiver. Use Trading Networks delivery features to send the HIPAA message. For more information, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release. |
3 | After a valid standard HIPAA message is available, use a Trading Networks delivery service to send the document to your trading partner (acting as the receiver). For more information, see the webMethods Trading Networks Administrator’s Guide for your release. |
4 | The trading partner (acting as the receiver) sends an acknowledgment to the sender, who processes it accordingly. For information about how to process acknowledgments, see
