We are a practice that is being purchased by our health system. We will be moving to an Epic EMR. Epic is relutant to import data from other EMR's. Anybody have a solution for accessing all the Centricity data, without maintaining a license for 7 years? We are working on a PDF solution, but, wondered if others were in the same situation. Thanks.

Which version of the EMR are you using?

You could:

- print PDF's of all patients. (only patient summaries)

- copy entire database to the Amazon Cloud (or other virtual server), and boot up/access when necessary. (or other virtual server. In theory, the DB should boot up w/out renewing the license? (all data)

- You could just keep an encrypted file backup of the database, and you'd "have" the data for 7 years. it could be a pain to access the data, but you would "have it".

- you could bulk export all patient summaries, that would have "most" of the data.

- if on a more recent version, you could bulk export a CCD for each patients(and if EPIC is using a HIE, it is a standardized way to transfer patient summaries). Then you'd have them in a format a bit easier to access. (but patient summaries only)

- You could keep thinking.

Licenses won't need to be maintained to the best of my knowledge. Create a virtual copy of the existing database and treat it as read-only. As long as you don't reapply the license your existing will sit. I access more than on retired database and have never had an issue. Nice thing about that configuration is that I can spin them down and only access them if/when needed over the next 7 years. Just make sure to maintain them with current versions of virtualization. If you don't have the hardware/software to maintain a virtual copy you could probably get it hosted by an ASP or do so yourself at Rackspace.com for not too much capital outlay.
