Diversified Data Design Corp. Selects Edifecs XEngine for Transaction Validation
Bellevue, WA. February 23, 2005 --
Edifecs, the proven provider of B2B solutions for transaction-based interoperability, today announced an agreement with Diversified Data Design Corp. (DDD) to license Edifecs XEngine transaction validation software. Edifecs XEngine provides a standards agnostic solution that ensures operational interoperability with trading partners by validating healthcare transactions for syntax, semantics and trading partner specific business rules. By having flexible real-time checks and filters on the data entering an enterprise, early adopters of newly developed healthcare transaction standards are assured that back-end applications and data warehouses contain accurate transaction data.
DDD, the nation’s leader in capitated encounter capture and processing, selected Edifecs XEngine for a combination of factors that included product functionality and flexibility, superior technology and architecture, and outstanding customer service.
Diversified Data Design specializes in meeting the unique data processing requirements of the managed healthcare market. DDD’s ability to collect, capture and report disparate encounter data is more important than ever when you consider how it effects quality reporting and reimbursements associated with Pay-For-Performance initiatives and Medicare Advantage’s HCC reimbursement methodology. “After an extensive evaluation of three of the leading transaction validation products on the market, DDD found only Edifecs offered the flexibility and customer service necessary to meet the ever changing data reporting requirements of the managed care environment”, said Horace Clark, President of DDD.
“We recognize that hundreds of variations of transaction “standards” continue to exist in U.S. healthcare, and additional organization requirements are developed everyday.” said Greg Gilles, VP of Product Development. “The ability for XEngine to provide a comprehensive but user configurable HIPAA edits management system and perform validation on large volumes of data in real time allows meeting even the most unique data processing needs for DDD and other clients.”
