For the 40th episode of the CIO podcast hosted by Healthcare IT Today, we sat down with Mark Weisman, MD, CIO at TidalHealth to talk about legacy applications and EHR data conversion. First, we dive into his move from CMIO to CIO and how that shift has gone for him. Then, we ask him about TidalHealth’s move from Cerner to Epic and the process he went through and lessons learned. Next, we discuss Weisman’s approach to moving legacy data and his keys to converting and decommissioning legacy systems including his work with Harmony Healthcare IT in this process. Then, Weisman shares the other exciting projects that he is working on. Lastly, we ask Weisman for what advice he would give to doctors looking to get more into the IT side of things.
