Yes Murray and his team at Higher-reason are pretty damn good. Not cheap but good.
I have used them a few times but not for the conversion you are suggesting. I sort of agree with peter.m comments about why go to mdw3 !!! But my feeling is really if the incoming vendor of clinical software cannot organise the technicalities of the conversion from a practices existing package to theirs Then you don't want to go to that package as they might be lacking somewhat in basic technical skills might they not ? I would try and talk the clinic into going to PractiX as it is nearly a free conversion and then go to Stathealths (getting a preview next week) new product early next year. This will ensure all the data comes across in a useable format. I have seen quite a few times where the incoming vendor converts the data but it is then not searchable and renders the reports from data extraction tools useless. Shexie can convert MSS data but their package is really aimed at specialists. BPsoftware might have a conversion. Totalcare probably does J Profile does L (if you want to go there.)

TIA Hi Guys I have posted this to the SA-IT list and so far have not received any leads. Julian Flint suggested I ask more widely - hence this email. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone have any ideas on companies able to do a conversion from Spectrum Classic to MDW3? One of my practices has contacted HCN about the conversion and they have suggested that this needs to take place via a third party and HCN provided him a lead. This (interstate) company has suggested that a copy of the back up along with a $500 cheque should be posted to them to enable a quote to be provided. Not all that encouraging. Is anyone aware of any companies who can give a quote without a relatively substantial fee to provide a quote? The Spectrum system is based on Fox pro and they practice has 6500 - 7000 patients on the database.
