The healthcare industry has a number of facets that align directly with XAware’s strengths.  Healthcare challenges range from rising costs, a growing customer base, and increasing strict regulations such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).  The importance of internal and external data management comes to the forefront in such an environment, and addressing these issues requires a high level of flexibility and agility.  XAware is built on an XML-based abstraction layer, tying together healthcare resources to increase data sharing and business process management value. As an elegant alternative to point-to-point data transformation and assimilation, XAware offers a solution rich in reuse, cost reduction advantages, and immediate ROI to maximize profitability.

For payers and providers concerned with HIPAA transactions, XAware provides value by helping customers assimilate X12 EDI data into their enterprise data model. With XAware, healthcare services firms can:

• Achieve HIPAA compatibility out of the box. XAware is fluent in parsing HIPAA standard X12 transactions 270/271 and 837/835

• XAware can also extend to any X12 transaction. An EDI Biz Component can be configured with easily available .sef files to parse any X12 data.

• XAware’s multi-format Biz Component solves communication issues by transforming HL7 messages into XML for inclusion in an enterprise data model. XAware can also create HL7 messages from XML for communication with HL7 partners.
