How to Differentiate Between Archived Data and Migrated Data

How are archived data and "migrated" or "converted" data different? It is important to make a clear distinction between the two, as each comes with its own unique drivers, considerations, and requirements.

Archived Data

Legacy system retirement typically necessitates not changing the "shape" of the data to fit a particular model. A data archival solution facilitates this process, providing a storage solution for clinical data archival that complies with state and federal regulations for protected health information (PHI).

Migrated or Converted Data

However, when it comes to EMR migration, data typically needs to be mapped and translated in order to facilitate proper import into the target system. This is critical for ensuring the clinical impact and workflow integration required to support a discrete clinical data migration.
