Why Migrate?

Minimize provider disruption

• Minimize data re-entry cost
• Workflow & automation continuity
• Analytics and CDS systems
• EMRs are not just data entry / storage systems

Why not just migrate?

• Migrations copy and change a subset of data
  • Limited by time range (last X years)
  • Limited by data set (problems, meds, etc.)
  • Limited by import mechanism (CCD vs HL7 vs direct database)
  • Limited by level of data fidelity (field/dictionary mapping, data types, versioning, etc.)
• “Dirty” data
