Migrating From Legacy Products to Cloud Based EPIC RIS Platform for a Leading Imaging Player

Overview

A leading imaging player faced challenges managing 13 RIS instances from 5 vendors, inconsistent workflows, system bottlenecks, and scalability issues. To address this, a robust application build-out and secure IAM solution were implemented, along with seamless data migration, system integration, and extensive training. Post-deployment support ensured a smooth go-live, handling legacy system decommissioning and providing operational support.

Challenges

  • 13 RIS Instances from 5 Vendors: Managing systems from multiple vendors complicated the standardization of workflows, interfaces, and data structures, making integration into a unified platform highly challenging.
  • Heterogeneous Operational Workflows: Inconsistent workflows across the organization led to inefficiencies, and standardizing them without disrupting operations was a major hurdle.
  • Performance & Workflow Bottlenecks: Legacy systems suffered from slow processing, image display, and scheduling, reducing productivity and causing operational delays.
  • Platform Reliability: Frequent downtimes and system failures jeopardized data availability, with no reliable disaster recovery plan, increasing the risk of data loss.
  • Scalability to Support Growth: The existing infrastructure struggled to scale with increasing patient volumes, new modalities, and additional locations, limiting growth. Interoperability Issues: Diverse RIS systems led to fragmented data and inefficiencies, requiring seamless integration into the new platform

Solutions

  • Successfully implemented system configurations, creating a robust application build-out and provisioning the necessary environments
  • Configured active users and integrated a secure IAM solution, ensuring the safety of user data
  • Through multiple iterations of data migration, followed a comprehensive strategy, including inventory, data cleansing, mapping, reconciliation, and dry-run executions to ensure accurate and defect-free data migration
  • Post-deployment, validated the success of the migration and ensuring all interfaces and downstream integrations worked seamlessly
  • Provided extensive training, covering scheduling workflows, API integration, and technical support
  • Facilitated the go-live process by supporting production environments, planning releases, and handling legacy system decommissioning with ongoing operational support during hypercare

Outcomes

  • Centralized RIS Platform with unified workflows and data structures
  • >99.99% Uptime, minimizing disruptions to patient care
  • 2-3x faster image display speeds
  • Future readiness for faster acquisitions and business scaling
  • Scalability, Interoperability, Security and Compliance
