    Area of Science:

    • Health Informatics
    • Healthcare Administration
    • Health Information Exchange

    Background:

    • Congressional action on health care reform, including mandates for automated transactions, was halted in 1994.
    • The healthcare industry has been progressively adopting electronic data interchange (EDI) for transactions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess the continued growth of automated health care transactions despite the absence of government mandates.
    • To report on the current state of electronic data interchange (EDI) adoption in the healthcare sector.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of the adoption trends in automated health care transactions.
    • Assessment of network connectivity between healthcare payers and providers.

    Main Results:

    • The shift to automated health care transactions continued steadily in 1994.
    • Over one-third of all health care claims are now transmitted electronically.
    • A significant number of healthcare payers (1,500) and providers (700,000) are connected to electronic data interchange (EDI) networks.

    Conclusions:

    • The healthcare industry's move towards electronic transactions is driven by factors beyond government mandates.
    • Increased network integration facilitates a substantial volume of electronic health care claims processing.
