Migrating reports to Expanse from older versions of MEDITECH involves a complete re-write of any reports that use data from modules that move to the M/AT environment. Instead of the few tweaks a hospital may need after NPR reports are batch converted during an upgrade from MAGIC to C/S, when a hospital converts to Expanse, you will need to write new reports with Report Designer, or with SQL out of your Data Repository.

Ed Bishop will discuss Expanse reports migration approaches, strategies, and pitfalls including:

• How to create your “must have” list of reports (and why the “make departments responsible for that list” strategy will fail)
• When to use Report Designer vs. SQL
• How to use SQL and SSRS (or other SQL reporting tools) to create, control, maintain and distribute reports
• Why to consider more than “what we are running now” when you migrate to new and different applications

Don’t overlook the need to review standard reports in the new platform. They often have changed in M/AT, and the new version on the new platform might not suit your end users’ workflow.

Attend this session to learn what you need to know to migrate reports to Expanse from older versions of MEDITECH.
