Chiapas v1.1 Release Notes -------------------------- By Alden Richard Temps June 3rd, 2009 - This version fixes a number of bugs in the Chiapas Studio app relating to the Tree Editor. Specifically, there were some bugs adding in new loops into the heirarchy tree. - Furthermore, there was an issue with the 4010 tree where the 837 Professional and Institutional specifications were missing the Drug Identification loop that was added by Addendum 1. - Some duplicate files were removed and the generic "tree.bin" filename was renamed to "X12_4010A1_20090603.bin". - Fixed numerous filename errors in the walkthrough.txt document that provides a walkthrough of the chiapasStudio app. If you are brand new to Chiapas, a good point to begin would be to print out the walkthrough.txt file within the Version1\docs\Walkthrough\walkthrough.txt. This contains step-by-step instructions on executing a small 834 encoding and decoding transaction. Within the Version1\docs directory is the chiapas_user_manual.pdf file, which is the manual for using Chiapas. It goes over the X12 Heirarchy tree as it is represented within Chiapas, the process of data shaping business data to and from HIPAA formats, mapping business data elements to their HIPAA representations within the X12 Heirarchy tree, encoding business data to HIPAA X12, decoding business data from HIPAA X12, and finally a review of the JobScript scripting language that comes with Chiapas. This software is open sourced as described within the manual and the licenses.txt file within the docs folder. If you'd like to contact me, please EMail me at richard.temps@gmail.com.
I'd like to write a new version of Chiapas. For this, I need to solicit some user feedback. Want XML support? Let me know. If there's some missing segments in the base mapping tree, or anything else - let me know. I'm on a short vacation currently, having just graduated from a 3.5 year retreat, but I'm never too busy to hear about user experiences with Chiapas EDI. Big TO-DO list items for me are: more extensive documentation, especially concerning mappings and using chiapasStudio. - Alden
