Remove the risks while positioning your team for success

Our 6-phase methodology for healthcare data archiving ensures your system is retired quickly, accurately and completely, with ongoing interface to the retired system and support from a highly experienced, responsive team.

Our methodology ensures that you know where your project stands, where it’s headed and when the work will be completed.

Here’s what you can expect from LDA after each stage of this process:

Project Kickoff:
Development of a project plan. Best-in-class strategy for retiring your system and archiving your data safely and securely, complete with customer/LDA-led tasks and estimated timelines.
Extraction & Transfer:
The entire dataset from the system—both data and images—will now be available for LDA to load.
Conversion:
Data load complete. Data has been received and loaded into an SQL or PostgreSQL database that will be used for project development. Actionable data is stored in a relational database for LDA to begin the process of data mining, mapping and development.
Build:
You’ll receive a custom Web application that fulfills your stated requirements, ready for validation.
Validation:
Signoff on the application. After organizing the UAT to verify all aspects of the application, LDA will resolve any issues as they are reported. At the end of this process, you’ll approve the application for go-live.
Close/Go-Live:
You’ll gain a validated, live application with user access based on customer-assigned roles.

Intuitive. Transparent. Agile.

It’s not uncommon for health systems to tell us, “This is so much better than the native system.” That’s because we listen closely to our clients’ needs. Even better: Our depth of experience means you don’t have to spend a lot of time on discussions around design. If you tell us, “Make it look like this,” we’ll do just that.

Security

A safe and secure relationship

Breakdowns in data security threaten not only data access and integrity, but also your reputation. LDA unburdens data protection with tightly controlled user access, a dedicated database for storing your data, monthly standardized patching, weekly vulnerability scans, and security risk assessments conducted in partnership with your team.

Role-based security is continually reviewed to ensure the right individuals have access to the right data. With LDA, you can request audits on access levels for any account at any time. This provides peace of mind in a rapidly evolving environment.
