SMART (ON FHIR®) MIGRATION:
A NEW INTEGRATED TECH ENVIRONMENT
After a thorough and exhaustive
investigation spanning several months, our
organization made the decision in 2022 to
consolidate, integrate and migrate our
network infrastructure. This migration will
take place over the next 18-24 months and
will result in a new Integrated Tech
Environment. This new platform will be
based on AWS, with QVERA providing cloudnative integration and SmileCDR responsible
for handling FHIR-friendly clinical data.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS & OPPORTUNITIES?
Standardizes data utilization
Modernizes infrastructure and eliminates duplicative legacy systems by ensuring consolidation of
Great Lakes Health Connect and MiHIN technologies
Increases reliability and responsiveness of scaling services
Creates the path for required FHIR transformations
Bridges existing payer and future provider FHIR environments
Provides a cloud native environment that’s durable, faster, higher performing, and has the highest
levels of modern security
WHY NOW?
Pressing need for greater technical capacity and capabilities to meet growing broader data and
interoperability needs and support our stakeholders’ compliance with regulatory requirements
(e.g., 21st Century Cures Act).
To increase agility, reliability, scale and create new efficiencies and cost savings by reducing the

time needed for maintenance and operational support.
When it comes to technology, change is the
only constant. Our future-proofed
infrastructure and population based routing
are designed to support data exchange for
patient centered decision making, care
coordination, price transparency, quality &
value and compliance.
Upgrading and consolidating network
infrastructure is a requisite for
health data utility.
