"Edifecs has always been committed to working hard to keep our clients ahead of the compliance curve," said Sunny Singh, CEO of Edifecs. "Implementing HIPAA 5010 will be less painful if clients can get started now, analyzing against the standards, and using a single integrated tool - that is what Edifecs has always excelled at, and we are proud of the fact that some of the standards bodies actually use Edifecs as their tool of choice as they are drafting the standards for publication."
"We know that implementing 5010 will not be easy, but making it easier is what we are all about at Edifecs," said Ginger Wright, Senior Practice Manager, Client Services at Edifecs. "Having the new standard versions available for use now, as opposed to later, and being able to test files in real-time while working with a standard is a key differentiator for Edifecs. We are already working with clients, supporting them in this process, and have reached out proactively to our client base to capture their needs to ensure that our products will meet their needs today, and into the future."
