B2B Data Integration and Transformation Blog

For those not familiar with our semi-monthly e-newsletter, THINKRONIZATION, it is the thinking person's newsletter for business and data integration professionals who are focused on the synchronization of systems, business, and data.

The newsletter is something we published years ago as the "REMEDI rEsource", mothballed for a while, dusted off in August 2009 and has been since known as THINKRONIZATION.

As in the past the content contains thought leadership pieces focused on news, research, trends, services, and placement information, within the IT disciplines of Business-to-Business Integration (B2Bi), Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Data Integration (DI), and Business Intelligence (BI).

Now with 5 of the most recent editions down, we could use your input on themes to focus on in future editions.

Check out past editions, and subscribe for future ones.

The health care reform law has business and data integration implications that, while not completely understood at this point, will involve intense integration requirements. Some integration requirements will unfold over time due to the rule making authority that exists in the law which empowers certain DHHS and other officials to mandate health care processes, procedures, and standards in the name of efficiency. Other integration requirements are explicit in the law and include a significant revamp to HIPAA transaction standards, the creation of new document standards, the creation of a unique health plan identification number, electronic claim payment/remittance, and utilization of electronic medical records, to name just a few.
