Avoiding CHR data changes during data migration
Avoiding CHR data changes during data migration
Updated over a week ago

If your clinic is still in the process of implementing and migrating your data to the TELUS Collaborative Health Record (CHR), it is critical that you don’t make changes in the CHR to the data elements provided in the table during the following timelines:

  • Pre go-live data migration period.

  • The data import period.

  • Until all post go-live data migration activities are completed.

⚠️ Important:

  • If any changes are required in the CHR to the data elements provided in the table, please contact your TELUS Health project manager.

  • Because data import or migration may take place over a number of weeks, you must avoid merging or archiving patients in the CHR during this period.
