Helping You Avoid Common Pitfalls in Cerner to Epic Migration
Cerner environments can be a maze of flat files, interfaces, custom modules, and inconsistent builds, especially in Millennium where data is often scattered across multiple locations. When the transition of legacy data causes workflow gaps, timeline slips or clinical confusion, the consequences can be dire.
Here’s how we protect you from the most common Cerner migration challenges:
Pitfall
Fragmented builds across environments
Legacy flat files and inaccessible data
Slow extractions via Cerner CCL
Data corruption or loss during transfer
Unclear retention strategy
Gaps in project visibility or ownership
Our Fix
Playbooks for CommunityWorks, Millennium, and custom configurations. We decode site-level logic, clean inconsistencies, and extract data even when documentation falls short.
Millennium includes over 3,200 flat files buried across directories. Our RMAN engine extracts directly from Oracle backups for complete and accurate access.
We bypass CCL limitations with RMAN + SQL, enabling faster, more complete extractions.
Structured validation at every phase ensures clean, usable data goes live.
We define policies aligned with HIPAA and regulations, ensuring archived data remains accessible and compliant.
Dedicated project managers, clear timelines, and aligned responsibilities keep migrations on track.

Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a conversion and a migration?
Migration refers to the full data move from one application to another. Conversion is a specific process within the larger migration where data is transformed into a format usable by the new application.
What types of data or applications are typically converted during a Cerner migration?
Clinical, financial, and administrative data—including both discrete (structured) and non-discrete (unstructured) formats. (This includes healthcare data conversion and medical data conversion as needed.)
How do you ensure data accuracy during conversion?
We follow best practices for Cerner validation, involving Small-Scale, Large-Scale, and Full-Scale phases. At each stage, MediQuant provides validation workbooks to guide your team through the process.
How long does a Cerner migration take?
Timelines vary based on project scope but typically range from 9–12 months, depending on:
- Number and complexity of source applications
- Access to source databases
- Scope and volume of data
- Types of data being converted
What makes Cerner extraction so different from Epic or MEDITECH?
Cerner’s modular architecture is highly customized and often inconsistently deployed across orgs. It’s not just one EHR; it’s usually many, stitched together.
What types of data can be extracted?
Structured, unstructured, scanned documents, attachments across clinical, financial, and administrative domains.
Do you support legacy Cerner builds?
Yes. We’ve worked with Classic, Millennium, CommunityWorks, and everything in between including acquired environments and regional hybrids.
Do you support transitions into or out of CommunityWorks?
Both. Whether you’re expanding into it or moving out, we’ve done it, and we know what to look out for.
What are key roles and responsibilities in a Cerner conversion or migration?
A typical project team includes:
- Project Manager (PM): Oversees the project timeline, budget, and team coordination.
- Implementation Consultant (IC): Provides expert guidance on application implementation.
- Interface Project Manager: Manages interface setup and integration (if interfaces are being implemented).
- Extractor: Handles data extraction from legacy applications.
- Data Conversion Specialist: Performance transformation and conversion data from legacy application to the new application
