Simplification of HIPAA Guideline Configuration

The HIPAA transactions are standard, therefore the same transaction guidelines are used for all trading partners unless you need to work around a situation in which one of your trading partners cannot yet send or receive HIPAA compliant transactions.

To facilitate the configuration of HIPAA transactions, it is not necessary to upload the .std files for the guidelines listed in HIPAA Transactions Guidelines.

By not uploading the guidelines, the size of your repository is reduced. If you have created transaction bindings for any of your trading partner configurations, the guidelines are not exported with the trading partner configuration unless you have overridden the guideline. Therefore, not uploading the HIPAA transaction guidelines can reduce the size of your trading partner configuration exports.

Note: Whenever a new version of BusinessConnect Container Edition - EDI Protocol HIPAA Edition powered by Instream is installed, any changes to the HIPAA transaction guidelines, contained in the new version, takes effect immediately except for those guidelines, which you have uploaded into your repository. Guidelines that are uploaded into your repository must be manually replaced with the new versions of the guidelines.
