Guideline Overview
Industry Guidelines
Industry guidelines (also referred to as Published guidelines) further define rules for
specific industries. For example, HIPAA guidelines have been developed based on X12
standards related to healthcare.
Examples of other types of industry guidelines are those related to pharmacies and
transportation.
Customized Guidelines
Customized guidelines are those you develop using a published standard or guideline as a
starting point. They further define rules in places where the standard or industry guideline
is not specific enough or you need specialized behavior to use the guideline with other
Foresight products such as Dataswapper or Transaction Insight®.
For example, you may want to mark certain optional fields as “not used, add internal
notes, etc. Customized guidelines are also referred to as
companion guidelines
.
Life Cycle of a Guideline
Creating a Customized Guideline

you can modify the usage, codes, values, and other characteristics to define exactly how
the data should be.
