Industry: Healthcare (Eyecare)
Overview
This case study covers the complex migration of patient records, clinical eye prescriptions, and transactional sales history from an outdated legacy POS system to Acuity Logic. MyntiQ Tech designed and executed a secure data migration pipeline that ensured complete data integrity with zero disruption to daily clinic workflows.
Business Problem
The eyecare group faced a challenging transition:
- Over a decade of patient, prescription, and financial data was locked in an old database, which was prone to data corruption.
- Differences in database schemas between the old POS and Acuity Logic risked messing up prescription records during import.
- Clinics had to remain open, meaning the migration could not cause system downtime during patient hours.
- Manual verification of thousands of patient records was impossible, making automated validation essential.
How MyntiQ Tech Helped
MyntiQ Tech built a dedicated, secure data migration pipeline:
- Data Transformation (ETL): Built custom scripts to extract, clean, and map legacy database tables to the Acuity Logic structure.
- Data Cleaning: Developed deduplication scripts to identify and merge duplicate patient profiles before migration.
- Delta Migration Workflow: Performed a full initial migration over a weekend, followed by automated daily delta updates to capture new clinic activity.
- Automated Reconciliation: Implemented checksum checks to verify that every patient record, transaction log, and prescription matched the source.
Business Outcomes Delivered
- Successfully migrated thousands of patient records and prescriptions with 100% data accuracy.
- Completed the migration with zero downtime during business hours, protecting clinic operations.
- Ensured patient clinical history was instantly available to doctors on the new Acuity Logic platform.
- Standardized database entries, eliminating duplicate records.
