Ancillary clinical system retirement & archiving: considerations & best practices

This content was originally created by Galen Healthcare, now part of RLDatix.

Introduction

EMR replacement drives not only EMR data archiving, but also data retirement of the ancillary clinical systems that interact with the EMR. In most cases, the strategy of replacing a best-of-breed portfolio with an integrated enterprise EMR solution results in modules of the new EMR providing functionality that ancillary clinical systems previously offered. As a result, the retirement of legacy ancillary systems is pursued as part of a broader portfolio rationalization.

VitalCenter Online is now known as Data Archiving.
