(EHR/EMR, Pharmacy Information System, Laboratory Information System, etc.)
while minimizing disruption to habitual operations.

Apart from this, during development and further HMIS implementation, prioritize
security and compliance with industry standards. It’s vital to safeguard
sensitive patient data by incorporating strong encryption and access controls,
enabling data backups, and conducting regular security audits. Adherence to
healthcare regulations such as HIPAA, HITECH, CDA, TX-HB300, GDPR, etc., will
help you foster trustworthiness, data confidentiality, and availability of PHI
(Protected Health Information).


STEP 4. DATA PREPARATION AND MIGRATION



First and foremost, before the health data migration, your tech team needs to
conduct a thorough data cleansing. To make it properly, it’s needed to keep up
with the following actions:

 * Define data types, patterns, and potential anomalies
 * Standardize data formats
 * Deduplicate data
 * Apply predefined data validation rules
 * Generate reports highlighting possible errors
 * Transform data types to comply with the desired data model

It’s vital to create a reliable and well-structured health data migration plan
to minimize downtime and avoid data discrepancies. Ensure migrated data quality
through quality assurance and testing.

article


STEP 5. PERSONNEL TRAINING



To make your freshly implemented HMIS efficient, contribute the most to the
personnel training. To maximize the benefits of health information system,
develop a tailored training program to address the needs of various user roles,
like administration, practitioners, and support staff. Besides, think about user
manuals, workshops, and hands-on training sessions. This may ensure your
worker's proficiency in using a new HMIS, being encouraged to continuous
learning and flexibility.


STEP 6. SUPPORT AND MAINTENANCE



Robust support and software maintenance may ensure the long-term success of your
HMIS. Regular updates to the HMIS are carried out to deal with security
vulnerabilities, incorporate new modernized functionalities, and align the
system with industry regulations that may transform over time. Monitoring of
your health control information system performance and user feedback gathering
enables improvements, ensuring that the HMIS remains responsive to the
organization's changing needs.


CLEVEROAD EXPERIENCE IN HMIS DEVELOPMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION



As a healthcare IT provider, we have experience in the creating and delivery of
various medical software solutions. Let us show you our featured cases in
HealthTech:


CLINIC MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR REHAB SERVICES PROVIDER



Our customer, a US-based rehab clinic, needed to obtain a customized clinic
management system to abandon bulky and excessive SaaS EMR platforms. Also, it
was required to design software that could accomplish overall workflow and
appointment management within a single platform. Lastly, it was essential to
conduct safe and reliable data migration, ensuring systems compliance with
HIPAA.

Our health software programmers managed to create a bespoke healthcare solution
and accompanying mobile apps for appointment scheduling, aligning it with
billing and user management within one digital environment. During the process,
we strictly kept up with the customer requirements, including user roles and
specific health niche aspects. The data migration and solution deployment were
performed on AWS cloud hosting - a HIPPA-compliant provider.

As a result, the customer received a cost-efficient, secure, and fault-tolerant
clinic management system platform that meets all best healthcare practices,
orders the workflow, and optimizes schedule management, preventing schedule
conflicts. All essential datasets were successfully migrated, considering all
essential data security and HIPAA requirements, reducing all possible legal
risks.

system for receiving and providing remote medical services and to enable
convenient appointment management for practitioners, administrators, and
patients. The most important aspect was to create telehealth software that could
be seamlessly submitted by local UK authorities.

compliant with GDPR requirements and UK regulators like CQC and MHRA. The
software appeared to be highly flexible, customizable, and accessible, enabling
