Reconcile the old archive against the new platform before contract termination.
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.
Sample evidence ledger
Exceptions first. Proof behind every count.
| Proof key | Source | Destination | Variance | Status | Finding |

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

Built for real migration triggers
A strong fit when you are…
Validate an Azure, vendor-cloud, or Synology destination without exposing a public DICOM port.
Create an exception and evidence record before storage is reclaimed or hardware is retired.
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.
Request assessmentClear 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.
