Legacy Data Management

Janice Wurz, Principal, Shaman Akhtar, Senior Advisor, and Christine Personius, Senior Advisor, Impact Advisors.  Most cost predictors for EHR/Merger & Acquisition transitions assume legacy application expenses are eradicated after go-live. Regulatory requirements, however, preclude the “box & storage” of old records offsite. With the ongoing need to access historical data, organizations must address and fund the storage of electronic patient information on their legacy systems. The cost of conversion and chart abstraction of key clinical-/revenue-based elements to targeted EHR applications must also be understood to appreciate the total impact.  Join Janice, Shaman and Christine to hear how to address these challenges.
