Independent PACS migration evidence

Before you retire the old PACS, prove every study arrived.

HealthDesk compares de-identified source and destination inventories, surfaces exceptions, and gives your team a documented handoff—not another vendor progress screenshot.

  • Outbound-only collection
  • No patient names or images
  • Vendor-neutral evidence

The cutover question

“Complete” is a status. Reconciled is evidence.

Migration dashboards usually show jobs and percentages. They do not always tell you which studies are absent, short of expected objects, or different enough to require review.

One missing prior can become a clinical workflow problem long after the old server is gone.

Exceptions first. Proof behind every count.

Proof keys are one-way identifiers. Patient names, MRNs, dates of birth, reports, and clinical images are excluded.

Five-business-day assessment

A decision pack for the person responsible for cutover.

This is a focused verification engagement—not a long enterprise implementation.

First engagement

Know the gap before you price the migration.

The assessment fee is credited toward a signed HealthDesk migration project. Final scope is confirmed after source access, archive size, and destination capabilities are reviewed.

Clear boundary

Operational evidence—not a diagnostic claim.

HealthDesk DICOM Assurance does not interpret images, replace clinical acceptance testing, certify HIPAA compliance, or claim FDA clearance. It supports an accountable migration verification process.
