After an assessment is completed the next critical phase is to prepare
specifications for each
modifications required for remediation.
The components included will
be unique for each client but generally include many of the following:
-
qEDI Logical Mapping
- EDI Architecture changes
- Validation of function and readiness of installed vendor products
- Project definition and planning
- “Build vs. Buy” recommendations
- ICD-10 consideration planning
- Requirements and design specifications for custom enhancements for EDI interfaces,
pre or post processing
programs and portal / web based applications that
support HIPAA transactions
AXIOM has extensive experience in performing all of the above services.
The deep healthcare business and manage care systems knowledge
positions us to bring the highest
quality solutions to the table.
AXIOM believes there are several critical alternatives that need to be
considered during the specification
phase of 5010 implementation.
If extensive remediation work is defined
it may be the time to consider other alternatives.
You want to ensure mistakes and assumptions made by many in the
initial HIPAA implementation are not
adopted in your remediation strategy.
You will want to explore all remediation, insulation or replacement
options. It may be time to consider
offering or enhancing your web or portal functions especially for Providers.
AXIOM has both designed
custom award winning portal applications and also provides a web based
portal product that supports many of the request response requirements that
are not easily implemented into an organization.
It is also critical that you consider the future impact to your applications
and data bases with the future ICD-10
implementation that will be required two years after compliance of
5010.
AXIOM has packaged
together its standard logical mapping services with a newly
developed tool which completes the gap analysis between the 4010 and 5010
and produces new logical maps in a greatly reduced time frame.

The EDI Advantage process begins by our review of your companion guides
and current logical maps. The
process includes the following phases:
Gap Analysis
- Load
your current logical mappings into the tool
- Run
the gap assessment process and create gap report
- Analyze
and resolve issues, internal cross-walks or conditional rules
Logical Map Creation
-
Run the tool analysis to generate 5010 logical map
- Prepare any exception reporting
Deliverables
- Walk-thru the deliverables
- Optionally train staff to update mapping worksheets
-
5010 Logical Maps
- Gap Analysis Reports
- Open Issue Report
- Use of tool to continue and update maps
-
A tools-based approach dramatically reduces the amount of time
to create gap assessments
and logical maps
- Identification of any internal cross-walk or logic
decisions that need to be addressed
- Clear, concise documentation for all 5010 logical mapping
- Complete specifications to develop your physical maps
regardless of the
tool used
