We provide our world-class data migration services using DesAcc’s migration methodology and Data Continuity Platform.
Initiation
A kickoff meeting marks the beginning of the data migration project. We will give a formal presentation about DesAcc and our expertise in migration services and explain our migration methodology. This meeting will include a summary of the project’s scope, introductions to any new resources allocated to the project from all parties, and an agreement on the project schedule and communication plans.
Data Discovery
Our data discovery services begin after identifying source system(s) media for migration.
All media (disk/database) is read in entirety and every file contained is catalogued..
The resulting data determines how we will extract the source data, which forms the basis for the subsequent stages of the data migration process. The findings are then detailed in a Data Discovery Report.
Data Cleansing
Data often needs to be improved during migration due to inconsistencies, outdatedness, missing information, or incorrect data. Data from the source system(s) is extracted and discussed in a cleansing workshop, where a cleansing plan is agreed upon.
Data Transformation
Data transformation covers two distinct areas of migration:
- To transfer data from a source system to a target system, we must create a mapping that captures the relationship between the two systems. This mapping also includes any necessary transformations to convert the source data into the format required by the target system. For example, this could involve mapping an HL7 message or mapping patient data to be migrated from one system to another.
- To migrate data to the target system, including cloud data migration, data formats may need to be changed. For instance, converting a PDF report to a HL7 encapsulated PDF report or converting RTF to DICOM SR.
This requires the team to consider what transformations need to take place during the migration, agree on their design and implementation, and approve the changes.
Data Migration
Data migration is a process that involves extracting, improving data quality, mapping, and ingesting in real time.
We typically plan the migration into a Bulk Migration followed by Gap Fill migrations to take us to Go Live.
PACS
VNA
Data Verification
We perform data verification after all the data is sent and retries have been completed. We use extracts from both the source and target systems to compare the migrated data and provide a Final Migration Report that includes the number of migrated objects, the number of issues encountered during the migration, and the reasons for any objects that could not be migrated.
