SHMS ESI™

SHMS ESI™ (External System Interfaces) is our powerful EDI tool that takes the complexity out of the task of importing and exporting files of virtually any format. With an open framework that provides capabilities beyond the range of other products, SHMS ESI™ supports files in fixed-width, delimited, and XML formats and can be used to import HIPAA EDI formats. In addition to format support, SHMS ESI™ can be used to schedule imports and exports of data files. This automation can significantly reduce manpower overhead for coordination of data exchange with vendors.
