How BizTalk Server and SQL Server enabled an effective and secure platform

HIPAA Compliance

“I highly recommend TwoConnect to other companies that lag behind in HIPAA compliance and want to achieve new thresholds of success while saving significant time and money.”

Challenge

ADI provides prepaid and discount dental insurance for 550,000 plus members in Florida and operates a network of more than 1,400 dentists and specialists across the state. ADI needed to find a more effective, centralized, and secure way to maintain HIPAA compliance and protect patients personal health information. The challenges they faced included:

• Using a variety of disparate and costly homegrown and hard-to-maintain systems.
• Maintaining decentralized data and systems that made it difficult to accommodate all of the company’s electronic data interchange needs with its partners.
• Lacking the technical expertise in house to implement the system.
• Addressing changing business processes and requirements thorough a more flexible system.

Solution

Working with TwoConnect’s team of BizTalk Server integration experts, ADI implemented a solution that enabled:

• The capability to send and receive all data interchange between business partners in full compliance of the HIPAA implementation standard
• A scalable, customized solution leveraging Microsoft BizTalk Server, Microsoft SQL Server and other technologies
• Secure transmission enabled through the creation of a protected VPN connection
• A custom HIPAA “accelerator” for ADI’s developers to empower them to make changes to the system as needed
• Complete integration of legacy data using MS BizTalk Server
• ADI IT staff training by TwoConnect engineers for ongoing maintenance of the system

Results

We now have in place the infrastructure we need to achieve many new business gains, as well as time and cost savings down the line,” says Cobo, the benefits:

• Faster time to market – accelerated partner business transactions by 200%
• ADI estimates savings of 25% in time and costs on maintenance alone
• Increased productivity “…we no longer face the costly and time-consuming burden of maintaining and upgrading several disparate homegrown systems.”
• Industry best practice and model for HIPAA compliance
• Increased capability of IT staff to respond and adapt to new business demands
• Scalability ensures future cost savings and business gains
