Using Processing Rules to Process Inbound HIPAA Messages
As described in
Process Overview, when
Integration Server receives a HIPAA message, it passes the HIPAA message to
Trading Networks. Because the HIPAA message is an EDI document,
Trading Networks passes the document to the EDI recognizer for
Module for EDI-specific recognition processing.
The EDI recognizer splits the document based on the EDITPA splitOption variable. To comply with HIPAA standards, you must set the splitOption variable to Group or Transaction, so that the EDI recognizer forms at least the envelope and group documents from the HIPAA message.
This section describes how to configure processing rules for the envelope and group documents. You should set up one processing rule for an envelope document and another for a group document.
Note:
If you set the splitOption variable to transaction, the EDI recognizer also creates transaction documents that each contain a single transaction set from the HIPAA message. Define how to process the transaction (for example, map the data to another document to send to your external system). This chapter does not describe how to do this processing.
