This enables your organization to have ongoing control and management of legacy archives, which is vital to ensuring that clinical staff has access to historical medical images.

We provide the flexibility you need to meet your organization’s evolving enterprise imaging workflow needs and the unique challenges that exist due to supporting disparate IT systems. Implement the migration approach that meets your unique needs:

Description

Pair the Exodus Migration Controller with our Compass DICOM Router to:

  1. Temporarily store the migrated data before sending to final migration destination (often referred to as a “forklift” migration).
  2. Multiplex the migrated studies to more than one destination.
  3. Generate an out-bound HL7 ORM order message to the destination archive before sending the migrated studies.
  4. Load-balance the C-Move Requests to multiple AE titles on the source archive  (may improve the rate at which source archive can deliver exams)
  5. Load-balance the C-Store to multiple ingestion nodes/ports on the destination archive (may improve rate at which destination archive can ingest/store migrated exams)

Pair the Exodus Migration Controller with our Navigator Prior Fetching Solution to:

  1. Fetch and migrate prior exams for scheduled patients, from multiple archives (not just from the primary archive that you are migrating) while also performing a full migration from a single primary source.
  2. Incorporate a Master Patient Index (MPI) or PIX query into your prior exam fetching process to allow updating of the patient demographics as part of the migration process.
