Enabling Rules with HIPAA DATA compliance

The HIPAA Data compliance allows rules to be enabled or disabled at run time.

Before you begin

Objects

• Hipaa_x12_qualifier.json – contains all the extended type 2, type 3-7 rules that are configurable, with all the details that are needed for each rule for the hipaa_data_compliance application to enforce. This should not be modified by the user except to add user-supported (not product-supported) Type 7 rules – more details on that later.
• Hipaa_rules_to_change.json – this contains ONLY the rules that you wish to DISABLE that are ENABLED by default in the product or that you wish to ENABLE that is DISABLED in the product hipaa_x12_qualifier.json file.
• Hipaa_x12_rules.json – Contains all the rules in hipaa_x12_qualifier.json, but only with a minimum number of attributes, not all the details.
• create_rules_to_change utility map. In Pack for Healthcare Design Studio installs, this is included in the hipaa_data_utilities source map in the map directory. This is included in the design server of the hipaa_data_compliance project.

Steps to enable or disable rules:

1. Make a backup copy of Hipaa_x12_rules.json and the hipaa_rules_to_change.json.
2. In the full hipaa_x12_rules.json, update the OnOffIndicator to 1 for any rule you need to enable (not done in this example) and to 0 for any rule you need to disable (disable the first rule).
3. Build the create_rules_to_change utility map.
4. Run the create_rules_to_change utility map to generate a hipaa_rules_to_change.json.

   This map uses the hipaa_x12_rules.json and the hipaa_x12_qualifier.json to generate the hipaa_rules_to_change.json. This will now include the rules configured differently than the default int the hipaa_x12_qualifier.json file.
