Web Services, a smart way to do business
A lot of companies use legacy systems, where it becomes hard to implement new features, or embrace some third-party, out of the box solution. Developing those systems and investing in them for years, it's often hard for many of the companies to consider the full transition to a new, better software. The costs grow even higher when the staff retraining and possible hardware replacements are taken into account. For those that are reluctant to invest further into constantly changing their present software or invest a significant amount of time and money into switching to a new one, Web Services are a perfect solution.
Web Services overcome integration problems across different systems running across different platforms. In the data interchange process, they can be used to integrate applications by minimizing effort previously required for data transformation across different platforms. Moreover, they are easily extensible, scalable, highly portable and can be utilized regardless of the programming language or the operating environment.
Advantages
Adjusting your software to enable web service communication with EDI Healthcare Solutions requires a certain effort, but it will more than pay off when you consider the benefits. It will also most likely be the cheapest and the quickest solution. For example, you can rely on us to solve the EDI problems and peculiarities mentioned in our About Healthcare EDI page, and won't need to worry about it. Whenever there's a new change required (like the recent EDI 837 NPI numbers), we'll deal with it. Note that this may be helpful to you even if you are moving to the new software. It may serve as a temporary solution during a, more or less, long transition period.
Beyond EDI
Please note that the scope of our cooperation via Web Services may not be exclusively reserved to your EDI processing needs. For example, if you are not happy with how your HCFAs are printing or would like a nice report that your software or IT crew can’t produce, we can help you. Basically, we can extend any part of your software you are not satisfied with via Web Service data exchange.
