How to Provide Data from NetSmart myUnity
In our experience, most NetSmart myUnity customers have a server on-site. Upon project kick-off, we will ask for direct server access via AWS VPN. VPN and database credentials (read-only) to be provided to us by NetSmart upon request by the customer.
Document Migration Factors
Converting healthcare documents from legacy EHR systems can be highly complex due to the dispersion of data across multiple systems in different formats and varying definitions.
Patient data can be stored in various locations, including your EHR software, radiology information systems (RIS), pharmacy management systems, and other third-party applications. Some data formats are unique to specific EHR software, leading to compatibility issues during the migration.
Aesto’s document conversion process is integral to the overall strategy for archiving data, ensuring all documents are easily accessible in Aesto’s DataCapture Platform.
