Does eClinicalWorks handle the data migration?
Generally data migration for patient demographics information is a routine part of the installation process. Demographics conversion from other electronic systems is a tricky job because of differences in the various systems’ data structures. We therefore recommend adding electronic files from your previous system to our “patient documents” section, much like a scanned chart. This section is part of the patients regular files and is easily accessible at all times and all users will have all existing EHR data available in eClinicalWorks. IPA has successfully provided extra data migration for some clinics including allergies, recalls, insurance, medication list and problem list by taking advantage of eCW’s Patient Demographic Note and StickyNote features. This is not part of eCW data migration and can only be done after eCW regular demographic data migration. Clinics have to pay IPA for this value added service.
