Healthcare data migration services

There are dozens of reasons, but the overarching idea is that sitting on old systems costs more than it saves. Data migration keeps patient data flowing without issues, cuts the dead weight of outdated licenses, and improves safety and privacy.

Here they are: storage, database, application, and cloud. In practice, data migration in healthcare means anything from moving terabytes of PACS images off aging drives to switching EHR vendors.

What means most is being mindful when planning the migration, from outlining the scope to deciding on which tools to use. At Innowise, we follow a playbook that’s been tested on dozens of high-stakes migrations. We start by auditing the data quality up front, because messy inputs always snowball later. Then our engineers lock down the scope, build mappings, run trial loads, and test them until accuracy is bulletproof. Add HIPAA and GDPR baked into every step, and the result is a migration you don’t have to cross your fingers for.

Usually, you get a project owner, a data architect, ETL engineers, QA specialists, and DevOps engineers. If you want to know what team composition is optimal for your healthcare data migration, parlons-en.

Shifting data from one EHR to another usually boils down to these core steps: plan, extract, clean, map, transform, execute, and validate. In practice, that means pulling data, doing medical data conversion, mapping to the new schema and codesets, cleaning the health records, shifting them, and validating the results. All data is handled in a standardized format, like HL7 or FHIR. Done right, the whole process feels more like a controlled handoff that doesn’t disrupt care flows.
