Edifecs Launches Healthcare Suite Aimed at Reducing Friction in Healthcare Transaction Workflow
December 12, 2005: Edifecs, the proven leader in B2B transaction-based interoperability,
today announced general availability for the Edifecs Healthcare Suite, a set of powerful applications and technologies
that reduce friction in the administrative, clinical, financial and pharmaceutical transaction workflows,
both within and between healthcare enterprises. Reducing this friction leads to tremendous savings in costs associated with
processing transactions, and eliminates inefficiencies that currently exist within healthcare trading partner communities.
The Suite includes business performance management applications that automate and manage the full lifecycle of transactions;
from community enablement, to testing and data validation, real-time transaction monitoring, claim repair and reconciliation,
facilitating direct connectivity and providing rich transaction analytics.
