Don’t Gamble on Go-Live: Take Control of Your PACS Migration
Go-live day shouldn’t feel like a gamble. If you’ve spent weeks prepping for a PACS migration, you know the anxiety: Will images show up where they should? Will users call you at midnight because something broke? A smooth go-live means you keep control, avoid chaos, and deliver the results your team expects.
But let’s be real. Most migrations aren’t smooth. Here’s why-and how you can change that with Laitek’s Migratek and Enlitic’s ENDEX AI.
Why Go-Live Often Goes Sideways
You’ve seen it before:
-
Downtime disrupts care: Imaging services slow down. Clinicians can’t access studies. Patients wait longer for answers.
-
Data mapping errors: Images land in the wrong patient record or vanish. You spend hours tracking down missing files.
-
User confusion: Staff get frustrated with new workflows. Calls pour in about missing features or broken connections.
-
Post-migration surprises: Routing rules break. Old studies go missing. You’re left fixing problems long after go-live.
Most of these headaches come from two places: messy data and clunky migration tools.
The Hidden Problem: Messy Imaging Data
Imaging data is only as useful as its metadata. Too often, you inherit years of inconsistent labels, missing fields, and typos. When you migrate that mess, you carry old problems into your new system. That means more troubleshooting, more downtime, and more unhappy users.
ENDEX AI: Standardize, Normalize, and Cleanse Your Data
This is where ENDEX AI changes the game. ENDEX uses artificial intelligence to standardize, normalize, and cleanse your imaging metadata before migration. Here’s what that means for you:
-
Consistent, clinically relevant labels: No more guessing what a study is or where it belongs. ENDEX aligns all your data to a universal standard, so everything routes and displays correctly.
-
Fewer mapping errors: ENDEX fills in missing fields, corrects typos, and resolves inconsistencies, so you don’t have to fix problems after the fact.
-
Better workflows: With clean, standardized data, your PACS works the way it should. Hanging protocols launch correctly. Studies are easy to find. Reporting is faster and more accurate.
