However, that will be significantly overshadowed by the need for validation of the data once it has been converted. More than once have I seen remnants of incorrectly converted data long after the conversion activities have supposedly been completed. With the age and lack of standardization of some of the systems, I perceive this effort as quite a challenge.

Frigo Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:40:01 +0000 http://www.healthcareguy.com/?p=679#comment-1073 Hello Shahid, I am enjoying your blog a lot, thank you! I am a computer scientist who just started getting acquaintance with Health IT. I have been in the Healthcare industry since 2005, so I am learning and processing as I go, and noticing for example, that many computer science standards are not applied in the Health IT industry, can't understand why. For example, computer science processes demand a flow chart of some sort. I see many explanations of systems processes, lacking one. Maybe it's pointing to the need of more Computer Scientist to look into it!? ;-) Now, since HIPAA is intended to save billions of dollars by simplifying the complex process of claims administration and payment through a single standard for healthcare transactions. I wonder who is tracking those savings? Also what is the cost of a transition to full HIPAA compliance and full business process integration? I also see a tremendous challenge to integrate hardware, software, services, support and training for healthcare organizations with high-performance computing requirements. Where are the standards for these challenges? who is drafting them? Any success stories you can share with us? Cheers! Luigi Hello Shahid,
