Title:  An Open Framework for eBusiness Processes

Session Focus/Summary:

The session will provide an overview of concurrent standards work in the healthcare and financial areas. We will briefly describe how each of the eBusiness formats (HL7 for Healthcare, SWIFT, iFX, TWIST for Financial and ACORD for Insurance) can work in concert with one another. We will examine the mechanisms and organizations that exist to publish industry and global eBusiness processes.

A strategic depiction of the future state of interoperability, emerging from the latest round of standards efforts, will be examined. We will discuss how these efforts can provide a meaningful foundation for building the National Health Information Network and the Regional Health Information Organization mechanisms. Integrating the Insurer, Provider, Patient, Financial and other processes, such as Preventive Intervention Medical Care and Community Health Management, will be discussed.

Learning Objectives:

1. Understanding large scale electronic process ecosystems

2. History of eBusiness in Electronics, Aerospace and Automotive

3. Sewing together the work from OASIS, WS-I, OAGi, ACORD and HL7
