Migrating your EMR into the cloud is no easy feat, so it should be a well-planned process. If not executed properly, it could result in patient information loss and negatively impact the operation of a newly adopted cloud-based system. Careful planning is imperative to ensure a smooth and successful transition. It may be tempting to dive into the implementation stage as soon as possible. But before you act, you should know how to develop a healthcare data migration strategy and what to expect down the road.

In this session, CDW Healthcare Strategist Doug McMillian will discuss how your organization can prepare for your cloud journey. Join us to learn about the benefits and the process of migrating your EMR to the public cloud. McMillian will discuss best practices to consider, pitfalls to avoid and tools you can use. He will also provide a list of essential steps for migration preparation, including defining business priorities, setting realistic timelines, what outcomes to expect, and how to implement a recovery plan to protect your data. You will leave this session understanding how to set expectations and plan for your own EMR cloud journey.
