Capstone Legacy Data Migration
Many firms shy away from data migrations and scare you into thinking an archive solution is your only real choice, while clearly the best solution for you is to move as much of your legacy data directly into your new system. MindsEye has the experience and the successful track record to deliver on either choice. Depending on your selection of a new vendor(s) and your current legacy system status we have the experience to assess your best options with you so you can make an informed decision.
The Capstone Legacy Data migration process was honed under extraordinary circumstances in the late 80s early 90s under FDA scrutiny when blood bank information systems were first regulated as a medical device. Blood bank data needed to be converted in full within vendors own system upgrades and from legacy systems without error. As you would expect, converting clinical data needs to be highly accurate; so too with financial data.
The Capstone Process was applied to full HIS and Practice
migrations starting in 2001. And for those vendors that tell you that a full AR Detail conversion is not possible so they can sell you an Active Archive, well that’s just not true!
Like with our clinical data migrations, financial migrations (AR Detail) demand a high level of data validation and repetition (Mock Conversions) of ever larger data sets to satisfy the need for extreme accuracy. The work effort starts many months before “Live” to allow for these iterations (Mock Conversions/Validation/Testing) to negate any risk of impacting your ‘Live” schedule, and for getting it right. The process works and we have plenty of customers that will tell you so.
The following customizable and affordable services are available to ensure your success:
• Project management of data conversion with status reporting
• Site specific development and documentation of the data conversion process
• Data extraction of files from the current system
• Creation of complete file specification
• Conversion programming
• Assistance in mapping data between current and new system
• Conversion of current data to meet new vendor specifications
• “Mock” conversion allows the site to validate the data prior to go-live
• Comparison of extracted legacy data to specifications and user requirements
• Identifying and correcting file problems
• Archiving legacy data from current system that is not needed in the new system
