Keep Legacy Systems Running While Your Team Focuses on the Future

Your IT team can’t build the future and maintain the past simultaneously. HCTec provides 24x7x365 expert support for Cerner/Oracle, MEDITECH, Allscripts, and other legacy EHR systems, keeping them fully operational while your team delivers a successful implementation.

Dedicated Legacy EHR Systems Support Matters in Healthcare

EHR transitions are often challenging, with legacy systems still supporting active patient care and daily clinical operations, while internal IT teams focus on implementation and go-live.

The result is predictable—help desk backlogs grow, legacy system issues go unresolved, and patients using the old EHR experience declining service quality.

Internal teams struggle to simultaneously execute a major implementation and maintain expert-level support for systems being phased out. Without dedicated legacy coverage, the patient experience suffers at the worst possible time.

HCTec bridges this gap, delivering dedicated legacy EHR support that keeps legacy systems operational while your IT team builds the future.

I’m constantly learning something new every time I reach out—like workflows or features that completely blow my mind! You’ve truly helped me level up my Epic skills.

Manager of IT, US-based Health System

HCTec was incredibly knowledgeable and helpful, and that made all the difference. By and large, the at-the-elbow support people do the job well.

Manager of IT, US-based Health System

Something meaningful for us is that HCTec creates daily benchmark reports for at-the-elbow support people and scores each person from one to five. That helps us know how people are doing every day in specific areas. I can’t physically be everywhere, so the reports provide me with a good understanding of how things are going. The firm is then able to escalate ways we can improve problem areas.

Manager of IT, Regional Health System

We are super comfortable with HCTec. We have worked with them multiple times for large-scale implementations. They get us. They understand our needs and our expectations, and we always have a pleasant experience working with them.

Real Healthcare Partners

When South Carolina’s largest private healthcare system migrated to Epic, they needed their IT team fully focused on implementation. But legacy Cerner and MEDITECH systems were still supporting active patient care across multiple hospitals.

HCTec stepped in to provide 24x7x365 legacy support, allowing the health system to execute a successful Epic go-live while maintaining seamless operations. Learn more about how we became an extension of their team.

Legacy Systems Support FAQs

HCTec provides support for Cerner/Oracle, MEDITECH, Allscripts, and other legacy EHR platforms. Our certified analysts are experienced across multiple systems and can hit the ground running on your specific legacy environment, even for custom or heavily modified implementations.

Legacy support timelines vary based on implementation schedules, but most engagements run 6-18 months (from the start of the new EHR implementation through go-live and post-cutover stabilization). HCTec works with your team to plan a structured phase-down that aligns with your transition timeline.

HCTec coordinates a planned phase-down that ensures legacy systems remain accessible for record lookups, reporting, and compliance needs while gradually reducing support levels as usage declines. We work with your team to transition any ongoing responsibilities back to internal staff, and can also work with your vendor for archiving legacy applications.

Yes. Many health systems—especially those formed through mergers or acquisitions—operate multiple legacy platforms during EHR transitions. HCTec can support multi-system environments, providing dedicated coverage for each platform as needed.

HCTec begins every legacy support engagement with a discovery phase, which includes documenting processes, workflows, and system configurations with your internal team. This ensures continuity and allows us to serve as a true extension of your IT organization from day one.

HCTec delivers 24x7x365 legacy system support from four geographically diverse, HIPAA-secure U.S.-based facilities. Our multi-tiered staffing (analysts, engineers, technical specialists) handles everything from routine user support to complex technical issues and system maintenance.
