RE: X12 vs: XML File Sizes
As applications adopt XML exchange formats it will become easier to exchange
data in that format. You seem to be assuming a rather linear situation. My
experience suggests there are many more models of data exchange. Some inter
organization some intra organization. As has always been the case with EDI,
the application process supporting the business doesn't necessarily directly
support the EDI transactions. That's when data must be accumulated from
multiple sources and that, too will add to the use of XML in creating X12
HIPAA transactions.

Subject: RE: [EDI-L] X12 vs: XML File Sizes
HIPAA addresses the financial information exchanges between health care
providers and payers. Goods are typically supply chain.
Having said that, if an organization is required to comply with the HIPAA
transaction set requirements, I have a hard time trying to find the business
value of first taking data from an X12 format, reformatting it into XML and
then populating a database with that data, or vice versa...the business
value of taking data from a database, formatting it into an XML document and
then once again reformatting it into a HIPAA compliant X12-based transaction
set.
Quite frankly, there's no dollar benefit to be gained in this reformatting
upon reformatting.
