HIPAA_Relaxed_T2_Structure_Check_Enabled details

The validation of the WebSphere Transformation Extender Pack for HIPAA EDI Compliance Check module is accomplished by multiple validation passes.

The first step validates the data through a type tree to determine which transactions are valid and which transactions are invalid. Invalid transactions are then checked using a more detailed process to determine where the errors occurred within the transaction.

The first part of the detailed validation process is to validate the data structure. The data must pass basic HIPAA structure validation to determine and add loop identifiers in the data. If the data is not well structured, and fails this process, the loop identification cannot be determined and subsequent steps in the complete validation process do not execute. In order to report more errors, a relaxed structure check option has been added to the module to lessen the structure check requirements and to report more errors in such circumstances.
