Key Advantages of Working with Harmony Healthcare IT

Efficient, Scalable Data Management

M&A activity can lead to technology bloat. Thus, many healthcare organizations look to consolidate their application portfolio. Active archive solutions like HealthData Archiver® support this consolidation and ensure that any historical clinical, financial and business records are secure, accessible, and compliant. As new applications come into the fold, the flexible archive can easily scale to accommodate any data source and size.

M&A Technical Playbook

A programmatic strategy to onboard new locations while minimizing the number of legacy applications is key to the long-term success of an M&A program. With robust data extraction and conversion services, plus an active archive that consolidates data from all legacy EHRs and other business applications, Harmony Healthcare IT can help streamline your IT portfolio, reduce organizational complexity, and keep budgets under control. Our full spectrum service and product offering addresses technology needs at every stage.

EHR Sharing Programs

Our active archive, HealthData Archiver®, is easily integrated with go-forward EHRs like Epic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH, and other through integrations like Single Sign-On (SSO). Harmony Healthcare IT may provide a tailored pricing schema for data migration and retention for those EHRs with community interoperability offerings (i.e., Epic Community Connect or Oracle Health CommunityWorks). This allows for a predictable onboarding process as community hospitals, ambulatory clinics, or other entities connect to an enterpirse EHR network.

The Business Case for a Legacy Data Archive

Cost reduction as a significant factor in legacy management. Migrating legacy data from disparate systems to an active archive like HealthData Archiver® reduces costs across the board, eliminating legacy system licensing, maintenance, support, and internal IT labor burden.

Our award-winning platform ensures that legacy records are secure, searchable, manageable, and HIPAA-compliant, benefiting both compliance and operations. Organizations typically see a return on investment within 12–24 months.

The Right Partner

Growing healthcare organizations turn to Harmony Healthcare IT to develop and implement legacy data management strategies during acquisitions and mergers. These strategies often include data extraction, migration/conversion, consolidation for short- and long-term value.

Data Archiving: Key to M&A Success

The challenges of managing data during a merger multiply almost faster than the data itself. Regardless of the M&A size or scope, having a solid legacy data management strategy in place is critical as the application portfolio expands.

Healthcare mergers and acquisitions is a key driver in our business. We have a lot of clients that are doing a lot of work in M&A. And when they're acquiring other health systems, ambulatory practices, hospitals, there's an immediate need when they move those folks that they're acquiring to the go-forward application. It's creating a significant amount of legacy record applications that are out there. And once the the those those providers are on the go-forward system, we quickly can dive in there and archive those legacy applications, putting them in our single HealthData Platform container and serves a couple functions. A first things first, we're going to be reducing cost and we're going to be able to allow our clients to turn off any third party legacy spend, whether it be host or maintenance as quickly as possible. That's one component that obviously gets the attention of the CFO when we talk to the CMIOs and HIM the other big component is, is a continuity of care. So the sooner we can get those legacy applications put into our HealthData Platform, we allow that data that sits in our platform to be available through a Single Sign-On button with patient context for immediate access to that legacy information that wasn't migrated into the go forward but archived into our platform for continuity of care. A third benefit of archiving legacy data in a merger and acquisition scenario is the security situation when this happens. And a lot of these folks are moving to a single platform. They're leaving all these legacy applications behind that are sitting on a variety of different platforms, on a varied degree of risk by archiving and putting them all into the HealthData Platform. We're reducing risk by putting them all into our HITRUST certified data center and relying on just two single sources of truth for data. Go-forward application for all that go-forward data and HealthData Platform for all the different legacy applications that may have existed prior to that merger and acquisition taking place.
