Infosys Technologies introduced the iTransform product suite, which allows managing the transitions to the 5010 version of the HIPAA standard transactions and ICD-10 coding systems.
According to the company, the new method is less time consuming and cost effective compared to the manual process.
Eric Paternoster, senior vice president and head of insurance, healthcare and life sciences at Infosys Technologies, said: iTransform not only simplifies transition, it also delivers an opportunity for payers and providers to take advantage of the new regulations for improving operational efficiency, reducing costs and providing better healthcare.
The new offering’s Reference Architecture component reportedly provides an assessment of ICD 10 and HIPAA 5010 impact to an organisation’s processes. Another component Impact Analyzer can search the impact of HIPAA 5010 and ICD-10 changes on different code bases.
The company said that based on pre-identified gaps between 4010 and 5010 TR3s, the new suite generates a set of code and process remediation recommendations. Its Transition Simulator, Data Migrator and Crosswalks execute testing and code conversion and the Automatic Code Remediator component remediates the impact points identified during code impact assessment based on rules coded for the specific organisation.
