HistoTrac Services

Data conversion services import historical data into Thermo Scientific HistoTrac Software from a legacy system, whether the data source is developed in-house (e.g. Access database, FoxPro database, Paradox database, Excel spreadsheet) or provided by another software vendor.

The process will ensure the continuity of patient care by migrating data from your existing database into HistoTrac. The first conversion is used during installation and training, with a final merge at Go-Live.

The conversion process: 

• You provide database tables
• Data mapping is completed by our team with your input
• HistoTrac database, containing legacy data, is installed on your server
• You complete data validation
• Current data is used for final conversion at Go-Live
