Case Study: Torrance Health Association achieves a single secure, compliant legacy archive with Harmony Healthcare IT

Data From Multiple Decommissioned Systems Consolidated to Single Archive

Torrance Health Association, an MSO supporting 100 physician practices across 22 locations in southern California, faced replacing five Misys systems and one Practice Partners system while preserving critical historical patient data. Converting those legacy records was too costly and complex, so they engaged Harmony Healthcare IT to provide a HIPAA- and state-compliant legacy data management solution using its HealthData Archiver® to secure long-term access to patient history and eliminate reliance on fragile legacy systems.

Harmony Healthcare IT consolidated the six legacy systems into a single cloud-based archive with HealthData Archiver®, completing the work on time and on budget and providing training for a smooth transition. The solution delivered measurable results: return on investment in under 12 months, full data integrity and retention compliance, easy user access for release-of-information requests, elimination of legacy-system maintenance, and a scalable platform to accept future retirements.
