BELLEVUE, Wash., April 27 /PRNewswire/ -- HIPAApedia.com, the first dedicated educational community wiki to serve the healthcare IT community and business professionals interested in HIPAA regulatory issues and solutions, is now available. Sponsored by Edifecs, the leader in providing healthcare transaction exchange and interoperability solutions, this free site provides an online environment for collaborative, transparent, and efficient exchange of ideas, addressing HIPAA 5010 migration issues while providing valuable support for healthcare organizations that need to understand administrative simplification in a broader context.

HIPAApedia.com benefits key stakeholders in the healthcare industry--Payers, Providers, and Clearinghouses--and anyone involved in driving HIPAA initiatives, particularly Administrative Simplification. This collaborative website provides a creative zone as an outlet for healthcare professionals in which to network, share knowledge, and interact.

"HIPAApedia.com provides these organizations with an opportunity to interact with industry experts and share ideas with groups of similar interests. Additionally, tapping into an extended community with differing perspectives--clinical, business, financial, and technical--only enhances the member's know-how".

HIPAApedia.com encompasses topics such as:

• HIPAA - Yesterday and Today
• Understanding the Regulatory Process, Standards, EDI--transactions, code sets and identifiers
• HIPAA Administrative Simplification and workflows
• HIPAA definitions, glossary, terminology

HIPAApedia.com will enable interactions on problems such as:

• The complexities of electronic healthcare information and the issues regarding transaction migration and code set upgrades taking center stage from 2009 through 2013
