HTuA2 - Smooth Moves: Preserving Clinical and Operational Data Continuity Through EHR Migrations

Session Description: Migrating EHRs can wreak havoc on clinical, data, and quality teams. Health centers often lose continuity with years of quality indicators, population-health registries, clinical workflows, and operational benchmarks—critical elements to monitor closely during the major transitions that accompany a migration. This session will follow a health center on its journey through an EHR migration, highlighting practical strategies for clinical and operational teams to maintain continuity in quality reporting, preserve historical trends, and ensure easy access to legacy clinical information.

Attendees will learn the practical strategies, validation, and governance models that a real health center used to maintain data and quality integrity while transitioning EHRs. By the end, participants will be able to draft a migration roadmap that protects care-gap outreach, quality incentives, and value-based-payment reporting during and after go-live.
