Early Adopters Give ASC X12 TR3 Schemas Their Blessing

"Our customers are tired of creating their own schemas to represent HIPAA EDI data – and are anxious for anything that can be called 'standard.' They will undoubtedly be a big hit. From a technical standpoint, we are excited!"

"I liked the structure and naming ... the simplicity versus reusable component balance is always a sticky issue, it's hard to make everybody happy. The schemas are nicely organized, the naming conventions seem reasonable, I would probably have named things pretty similarly ... in fact, I have some schemas that are close but use far more abbreviations."

"This looks really good. It’s even closer to what we need than what I ever expected. Loop/Segment/Element names are straight forward. They contain comments from the guide to make it more readable. The schemas are easy to read and well formatted."
