Your Source for Successful System Conversions

Robear Consulting provides the experience and expertise needed to assure a successful HIS data conversion. We've developed a suite of tools and processes to extract data from the McKesson™ STAR, Series and Precision (TPA) products and format the data according to various vendor requirements.

When you are implementing a new HIS system, one of the important decisions involves deciding whether to convert data from your old system to the new system. The ongoing cost of maintaining the old system for printing and viewing data or "working down" the A/R can be extremely high. On the other hand, you've heard the stories and know that converting data to a new system can be a nightmare.

For a hospital without the requisite expertise and tools, data conversions can be a major risk. Your hospital can't afford to lose critical clinical or financial data in the transition from one system to another. Data issues can add cost and time to your HIS transition and have a lasting adverse impact once the new system is up and running. You don't want to have your critical HIS applications break down because of bad converted data.

Successful conversions depend on an understanding of how both the old and new systems store, manage, and report data. They also require knowledge of hospital workflow and how the data elements are utilized. Another success factor is the commitment to thorough validation and testing of the converted data so that your HIS go live has a positive impact on hospital operations, A/R days, and healthcare delivery.
