White Papers for Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA)

Leveraging the Internet for HIPAA-Compliant Process Automation

Rising healthcare cost forces providers and payors to examine their costs in all aspects of delivering and
managing care. Administrative and financial transactions associated with healthcare delivery make up a
whopping 20% - 25% of the overall costs, making them a key focus for improving efficiency and, not
incidentally, improving the bottom line of hospitals, pharmacies, MCOs and other insurers. Automating
these processes is a main focus of HIPAA legislation – an initiative which leaves no healthcare participant
on the sidelines in efforts to automate their transactions while ensuring privacy and security of Protected
Health Information (PHI).
