## About Parse-Edi
**parse-edi** is an Electronic Data Interchange (EDI) parser developed at Vanderbilt University Medical Center during Khanhly Nguyen's summer internship 2019. Built in a healthcare setting, the parser focuses (for now) on x12 claims (837) and remittances (835)
This code is intended to process and parse healthcare x12 837 (claims) and x12 835 (remittances) into human readable JSON format.
The claims/outpout can be forwarded to a NoSQL Data store like couchdb and mongodb
## Installation
pip install git+https://hiplab.mc.vanderbilt.edu/git/steve/parse-edi.git
## Usage
**Commandline :**
python edi --config <path> --folder <path> --store <[mongo|disk|couch]> --<db|path]> <id|path>
with :
--scope <claims|remits>
--config path of the x12 to be parsed i.e it could be 835, or 837
--folder location of the files (they must be decompressed)
--store data store could be disk, mongodb, couchdb
--db|path name of the folder to store the output or the database name
**Embedded in Code :**
Use **parse-edi** within your code base as a library and handle storing data in a data store of choice
import edi.parser
import json
import os
ROOT = 'data'
CLAIMS_FOLDER = os.sep.join([ROOT,'837']) #-- data/837 contains all 837 formatted files
CONFIG_FOLDER = os.sep.join([ROOT,'config'])#-- data/config contains 837.json or 835.json
files = os.listdir(CLAIMS_FOLDER)
filename = os.sep.join([CLAIM_FOLDER,files[0]]) #-- selecting the first file in the folder (it's an example)
conf = json.loads(open( os.sep.join([CONFIG_FOLDER,'837.json']) ).read())
info = edi.parser.get_content(file,conf) #-- array of objects claims/remits
