Creating a Legacy Data Retirement Strategy to Reduce Costs and Maintain Compliance
This webinar will discuss some of the challenges that large IDNs face as they march towards EMR adoption and accountable care. As provider groups, hospitals and IDNs implement enterprise EMRs, there is the inevitable need to maintain access to clinical data.
With ACO reporting requirements, at-risk contracting, and the most recent round of HIPAA regulations, a document archive is no longer sufficient. A clinical data repository that addresses legacy clinical data, longitudinal reporting, and predictive modeling MUST include discrete data.
Learning Objectives:
- How to handle the retirement of legacy applications, including fetal monitoring.
- The challenges associated with retiring disparate systems into a single repository.
- Considerations when deciding what to keep, for how long, how to keep it, and where to keep it.
