Benefits Of Migration
Creating the Future of Healthcare
In recent years we have seen a sea change in diagnostic imaging technology. As Picture Archiving and Communications Systems (PACS) and storage devices matured over the past two decades, healthcare facilities struggled to keep pace updating legacy data into this new imaging environment.
In order to better serve patient and staff needs, remain competitive, expedite workflow and reduce exposure to risk, healthcare providers must upgrade their PACS solutions and archive systems.
Industry’s Only Hyper-Migration Solution
DataFirst’s Hyper-Migration services solve any antiquated data transfer issues, allowing for a quick and safe transition from legacy systems, while eliminating your dependency on older, unreliable storage and migration technologies.
DataFirst Can Migrate All Your Data from ANY Legacy System
Regardless of the type of DICOM (and non-DICOM) legacy systems on which your data currently resides – including removable media technologies such as tape, magneto optical disk, CD and DVD - DataFirst can quickly and efficiently access, migrate and store all your vital information.
Migrating DICOM data to the new PACS system enables clinicians to take full advantage of evolving diagnostic tools and enhancements, while maintaining immediate access to all legacy studies.
Why Migrate Now?
The most common and practical reasons to move Data across platforms are: quality of care, regulatory compliance, data integrity preservation, data availability, hospital floor space recuperation and significant financial savings. Each presents a unique opportunity to save money and protect valuable information.
- Data Integrity
- Data Availability
- The Bottom Line - Savings
- Compliance factors
Protecting data integrity is essential in any forward-thinking healthcare organization. As legacy PACS systems and storage devices (jukeboxes) approach the end of their lifecycles; they become less reliable – increasing the risk of loss or corruption. Migration to a more stable platform ensures both validation of the information and safe storage for long term preservation.
Proactive migration can ensure data is available to you in real-time. If performed by expert professionals using advanced tools there should be no negative impact to clinical performance noticeable throughout the project. Implementing the proper migration plan will ensure these DICOM images are available to your clinicians in real-time.
Streamlining your imaging needs now, will save you greatly in the long run by reducing annual costs associated with maintaining an antiquated legacy PACS and/or archive system.
Facilities are now required to have patient information easily accessible for nearly a decade past the date of the procedure.
Keeping data segregated on disparate data islands is not a viable method for long term retention.
