Interior Health selected Summit Healthcare because of the company’s deep MEDITECH integration expertise and its Summit Apex integrated product suite – a comprehensive toolset for streamlining MEDITECH 6.0 migration efforts. To assist in its migration from the MEDITECH Magic platform to MEDITECH 6.1, Interior Health is currently using Summit Scripting Toolkit™ and Summit InSync™ and has contracted for the implementation of the Summit Downtime Reporting System™.

As one of five health authorities in British Columbia, Interior Health recently made the decision to migrate from the MEDITECH Magic platform to MEDITECH 6.1 to meet its evolving needs. The business requirements outlined in the RPF process required a vendor that could provide robust, scalable scripting software and software to automate the migration and synchronization of MEDITECH’s data dictionaries across all MEDITECH platforms. Interior Health also required a business continuity solution that would provide secure access to critical patient data in the event of a MEDITECH or network downtime.

Now live with the Summit Scripting Toolkit and Summit InSync, Interior Health is using the Summit Scripting Toolkit to handle its intense data migration efforts and eliminate manual data entry that often accompanies a migration or implementation. Interior Health is using advanced features such as global segments to meet its internal tracking and auditing requirements. Summit InSync is in place to easily analyze, synchronize and maintain the organization’s test and live dictionaries between MEDITECH Magic and MEDITECH 6.1 platforms.
