FHIR-Based data archival solution for healthcare

Healthcare mergers and acquisition (M&A) activity continues to reshape the industry, often leaving organizations with a complex, fragmented IT landscape. As systems consolidate, organizations inherit a patchwork of legacy clinical systems that must be maintained solely to meet regulatory data retention requirements. Simply retaining these outdated platforms, which are no longer actively used for care delivery, is costly, risky, and unsustainable. In fact, some organizations have had to maintain 50 or more such systems, which can cost $3 million to $5 million annually. This constant maintenance hinders innovation, increases security risks, and limits your ability to leverage historical data for analytics. With CMS regulatory compliance deadlines looming and M&As accelerating, now is the time to rethink your archive strategy, and Fast Healthcare Interoperability Resources (FHIR) scan help you transform.

The white paper, FHIR-Based Data Archival Solution for Healthcare, from Infor explores how healthcare organizations can leverage the FHIR standard to transform their legacy archive into a future-ready asset. Infor’s Cloverleaf FHIR Bridge offers a standards-based archival solution that securely consolidates data from outdated platforms into a modern, interoperable archive. This allows you to meet compliance obligations while significantly reducing technical debt. Moving to an HL7 FHIR archive reduces system maintenance costs, minimizes compliance risk, and creates a scalable foundation for advanced analytics. The result is a sustainable, standards-based way to extract, archive, and make legacy clinical data accessible.

What You Will Learn

This white paper examines how a FHIR-based archival solution allows you to retire legacy EHRs and meet long-term retention mandates.

Key takeaways:

• The M&A impact: Understand how the surge in healthcare M&A creates fragmented IT landscapes anchored by a growing number of costly, outdated legacy systems.
• The high cost of compliance: See how maintaining dozens of legacy systems is an unsustainable financial burden and how non-compliance with state-specific and federal data retention mandates can lead to massive fines.
• The FHIR advantage: Learn why FHIR is the modern standard for clinical data archiving, providing a modular, extensible, and well-documented format for long-term storage.
• A practical archival process: Explore how a modern archival solution is implemented in practice, covering data extraction, conversion from proprietary formats to FHIR resources, and the centralized storage architecture.
• Unlocking Value: Discover the measurable value of a FHIR-based archive, including significant cost reduction by eliminating maintenance for legacy systems, improved data accessibility for clinical and research workflows, and guaranteed regulatory compliance.

The shift from simply storing data to creating a modern, interoperable archive is critical for the future of healthcare IT. With FHIR as your foundation, you can move from unnecessary maintenance to strategic data utilization.
