Modernizing your EHR is one of the most financially impactful decisions your organization will make. Beyond better workflows, richer analytics, and improved patient experiences, leaders must account for the cost, compliance, and continuity of legacy data. However, one challenge often remains: what happens to all the data trapped in vulnerable, outdated systems – especially the patient financial information living in your billing system?

When an organization is considering an EHR migration and archiving solution, that is often the perfect opportunity to modernize the financial system. Billing and patient accounting systems hold years of vital information – open A/R, payer history, adjustments, and more – that directly impact revenue capture and compliance.

Keeping billing data locked in legacy systems creates both financial and operational risk:

• Open A/R must be worked down before systems can be retired
• Audits and reporting become time-consuming and error-prone
• Compliance risks increase as payer and CMS requirements continue to evolve

Financial Data Migration Essentials

A truly complete data modernization plan brings your financial data along – not as an afterthought, but as a core part of the migration strategy. The key is to move billing, A/R, and bad debt data into a secure, accessible financial archive that supports both compliance and continued collections.

With LKOasis Financial Archive, healthcare organizations can:

• Actively work open A/R from legacy systems: posting payments, adjustments, and refunds even after cutover
• Decommission outdated systems safely and cost-effectively
• Maintain audit readiness with detailed reporting and user activity logs
• Access historical billing records and claim data anytime without relying on the old platform

This approach ensures revenue continuity during transitions, giving billing and revenue cycle teams the ability to finish their work without disruption.
