Foresight Simplifies HIPAA 5010 Transition with Integrated Interpretive Content
Partnership with eEmergence makes Foresight’s Guideline Management and Testing Solutions the first designed specifically for HIPAA 5010 Migration
DUBLIN, OH -- (August 28, 2009) Foresight Corporation, the nation’s leading provider of transaction processing automation solutions for healthcare, announced today the integration of eEmergence, Inc.’s exclusive HIPAA 5010 interpretive content into selected products, a move that will facilitate 5010 migration for Foresight’s customers.
eEmergence’s interpretive content is unique because it provides insights into the reasoning behind specific changes from ASC X12 version 4010A1 to 5010 transaction sets. This content comes directly from authors of the 5010 standards and goes far beyond being just a description of changes.
Adding this information to Foresight’s products as the HIPAA Change Interpretation Guide™ makes Foresight’s EDISIM® guideline management suite and HIPAA Validator® Desktop file validation tool the only products of their kind to apply such detailed descriptive content and interpretive information specifically for the HIPAA 5010 transition.
With the HIPAA Change Interpretation Guide, users can interpret changes, assess impacts, and explain potential business process changes. This allows a side-by-side on-screen and printed comparison for every segment, element and/or code value that has changed from HIPAA version 4010A1 to 5010, greatly reducing the time required to research the transactional changes during the Gap Analysis and Guideline Management stages of 5010 migration.
“The integration of HIPAA Change Interpretation Guide information from eEmergence sets Foresight apart as offering the only products with such detailed, actionable information specifically designed for 5010 migration. This adds further depth and breadth to Foresight’s unique portfolio of high-value 5010 migration aids,” said Robert A. Fisher, CEO of Foresight Corporation.
“Having the eEmergence interpretive content integrated into Foresight’s products will allow healthcare organizations to accelerate preparations for the HIPAA 5010 migration. Working with a company with the reputation and history of Foresight has been especially gratifying,” said John Bock, President of eEmergence.
This is an extension of the relationship between Foresight and eEmergence, which have recently partnered with the Data Interchange Standards Association (DISA) to create the upcoming DISAcert 5010 certification service, to be launched later this month.
