Since 1992, DFB Consulting has been assisting academic medical centers and regional healthcare providers implement Electronic Medical Record (EMR) systems. In that time, we have amassed a wealth of knowledge on how to address the complex issues surrounding turning islands of clinical healthcare data into unified information for clinicians, researchers, administrators and others involved in the healthcare delivery process.
Data generated by, and used for, clinical activities has an extended and complex life-cycle. In a patient specific structure, it can provide information for clinical care activities and decisions, document health and treatment history, and support the billing and reimbursement process. That same data, when viewed across the patient population, supports clinical research, QA assessments, and administrative decision support processes.

Services
Too many organizations approach their EMR data integration with an interface engine vendor and a list of required interfaces, and allow the integration to define itself. Integration is a critical component of your healthcare data architecture. A properly selected, architected and implemented solution will enable your EMR system to gather and disseminate the data required to provide the benefits for which you selected your EMR in the first place.
You are installing a new EMR and planning on integrating with your ADT, Medications, Radiology, Lab and Transcription systems. However, due to timeline and cost concerns, you have decided not to aggregate any historical data from these systems and only capture data from the interface go-live date forward.
You are replacing your legacy EMR system with an EMR from a new vendor. As part of the project you are also implementing the integrated Radiology system from your new EMR vendor. What approach are you going to take to keep the data in your legacy EMR and Radiology systems available? Data migration and conversion from the legacy system to your new system provides the maximum benefits.
