Discover the top 10 considerations for NHS data migration and archiving, drawn from
1,500+ real-world EPR transformations.

Why it matters

EPR migration is a clinical safety issue

For NHS Trusts, groups, and Integrated Care Systems, moving to a new EPR means
facing the same question: what happens to decades of patient history? Treated simply as an IT
problem, clinicians lose access to the story behind the patient. Treated as a clinical safety issue,
the migration becomes the foundation of a successful go-live.

The Problem

Why so many EPR migrations stall or underdeliver

Programme leaders default to ‘migrate everything’, frame the work as IT delivery, and end up with archives that can’t support clinical care. Clinicians lose trust. Data quality issues surface late. Medico-legal access slows. And the new EPR goes live carrying risk that should have stayed with the old systems.

What clinicians fear most

Losing access to the patient story is one of clinicians’ greatest fears in any EPR transition.

The Solution

Lessons from 1,500+ real-world EPR transformations

Drawing on more than 1,500 EPR projects and over 300 million migrated patient records, we’ve distilled the practical lessons that separate successful go-lives from costly setbacks. From clinician engagement to dataset definition and four-pillar archive design, these are the considerations every NHS digital leader should bring to the table to secure long-term EPR value.
