Introduction

There is a lot to consider when migrating from MAGIC or Client/Server (C/S) 5.X to MEDITECH's 6.x. Infrastructure requirements are an important component of your migration journey. One thing to keep in mind, the MEDITECH C/S 6.x is a completely different HCIS and does process reports differently from MAGIC. Modifications will need to be made to ensure that reports are processed properly. The following will hopefully assist in some of the decisions needed to ensure a successful migration to 6.x

Basic Data Center Upgrade/Planning

  • Use strategic capacity planning to future-proof your data center's virtualization efficiency and make the most of server hardware. A reliable power supply is ensured via grid sectors, ensure basic principles and best practices of data center airflow management are in place.
  • Downtime Procedures/Business Continuity- Have documented policies and procedures for both clinical and nonclinical departments. There are many toold that can be used for business continuity in the event of system downtime.
