HIPPS
The HIPPS conversion map uses the HIPPSext.xls file (within the hippsext.zip - link HIPPS Code Master List (saved as .csv)) available from CMS (http://www.cms.hhs.gov). For more information about this code list, see the External Code Source section of Washington Publishing HIPAA 005010 Implementation Guide.

The Code and Description fields are directly linked to fields on the Output side of the map.
The TempLink in the LinkingRecord group is present to ensure that the extended rules (on the Output side of the map) which are responsible for writing out the schema namespaces and the Sterling B2B Integrator version attributes for the SI_RESOURCES document element are executed.
