When deploying EMIS Web in a new environment, it's crucial to manage existing configurations effectively to ensure a smooth transition. Here are key steps you should follow:

Backup Current Configuration

Start by making a comprehensive backup of your current EMIS Web configurations. Use the in-built tools to export settings, templates, and patient data securely. This backup will be critical for restoring configurations quickly if any issues arise during the transition.

Review and Document Existing Settings

Prior to deployment, review and document all your existing settings. This includes user roles, permissions, templates, and any custom workflows you’ve set up. Having this documentation ensures you don't miss any critical setups during the transition.

Test in a Controlled Environment

Before full deployment, test EMIS Web configurations in a controlled environment matching the new setup. This helps identify any discrepancies and allows you to fine-tune configurations without impacting live environments.

Efficiency Boost:
Managing EMIS Web configurations diligently during deployment not only ensures a seamless user experience but also reduces downtime, allowing healthcare professionals to focus more on patient care.

Synchronise with New Environment

Deploy the configurations to the new environment progressively. Ensure all network and IP settings are updated to match the new environment's specifications. Utilise EMIS partner services for smooth data migration if available.

As an additional tip, consider leveraging platforms like Hero Health, which integrates seamlessly with EMIS Web.
