Migrating Legacy Data to Electronic Medical Records environment

STI has been asked by it's many customers to fill a growing need hospitals today, eliminate legacy electronic clinical documentation systems. STI provides a complete solution in migrating old legacy electronic charts, strips  and records to new, more current and flexible electronic storage formats such as PDF, TIFF or custom format and help identify and import them into EMR solutions. 

Migrating to a New System

Whether you are planning on installing a new system, already started, completed it 'a while ago' it is not to late to consider your options on extracting the medical information from systems. STI can assist you in understanding the process of archiving old data.

Tired of paying maintenance

Have an old system laying around that you will end up playing hundreds of thousands over the next 10 to 20 years? STI can eliminate that expense by extracting the charted and strip information to a format that can either be migrated into a EMR, HIE or even a searchable PDF folder on an electronic storage medium such as a secured SAN drive.

Risk Management Concerns

Is Risk Management not satisfied with having historical medical records stored on old servers in the server room? The combination of operating systems changes (NT, XP, Vista and now 7) and business acquisitions leaves a cloudy forecast for the reliability of having the support ot 'get chart/strip information off the old box'.  

"We have paper copies in storage"

Although strip paper quality has improved over the past couple years, the average life expectancy of waxy printed strips is between 3 and 7 years under normal circumstances, even in safe facilities such as Iron Mountain. Is it really worth the risk of losing a lawsuit by simply not having a legible strip?
