A recent collaboration between X12 and HL7’s Da Vinci Project has resulted in the availability of the first interoperability crosswalks.

Through this collaboration, the health care industry has formed crosswalks connecting the data in HL7 Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) transactions with the data in associated electronic data exchange (EDI) standard transactions.

“Pairing emerging and proven technologies in new ways presents opportunities for entities to better leverage their technology investments while meeting the needs of health care consumers,” said Cathy Sheppard, X12 executive director. “These crosswalks illustrate the importance of standardizing the connections between complementary standards and X12’s mandated standards.”
