ChiroTouch Server Migration Checklist
🎉 Your migration is just around the corner, and we’re here to assist! 🎉 |
Please familiarize yourself with the following and send all needed information to [email protected] 48 hours before your scheduled migration.
If we do not receive your migration document email
24- 48 hours before your migration, it will be rescheduled.
Pre-Migration Action Items
You will need to call ChiroTouch to retrieve your ChiroTouch Database Password. It may take several days for ChiroTouch to deliver this to you so we strongly recommend reaching out ahead of time since we cannot migrate data without the Database Password.
Prepare a list of appointment and calendar mappings from ChiroTouch Server into ChiroHD. Instructions for mapping are detailed in the next section.

If you have been using Fortis or Cash Practice in your legacy EHR, please clearly state this in the above email to the Migration Team.
What are Appointment & Calendar Mappings?
The appointment mapping should be a spreadsheet that contains EVERY appointment type in your current system along with what the corresponding appointment type should be in ChiroHD.
This means every single appointment type (as well as appointments with multiple distinctions, ie. adjustment + re-exam + x-rays) in your current system must be listed, along with what the corresponding appointment type will be in ChiroHD.
Please ensure that you include every single appointment type with the appropriately mapped “equivalent” even if your appointments have the same name.
**NOTE: In ChiroTouch, the “Purpose of Visit” field can have multiple items checked, whereas in ChiroHD, each appointment has at most two options:
a primary appointment type, and an appointment subtype**
Calendar mapping is similar to appointment mapping but looking at calendars instead. If your calendar count/name in ChiroTouch does not match your calendar count/name in ChiroHD, please specify, in detail, which calendar is mapping to which.

Join your Zoom Migration Event on time
If you are not present 10 minutes after the start time, we will need to move on to our next migration and reschedule your event. Thank you for your understanding!
Once your migration is complete the Migration Team will send you an email detailing your next steps.
PLEASE NOTE:
You cannot use your legacy EHR or ChiroHD until Phase 1 of the Migration is complete. You will be emailed the moment you're able to regain
access to both systems. Please keep an eye out for that email!
Post Migration
After you have received notification that your migration is complete, please go through the migrated data and verify its completeness and accuracy.
If there are any missing or inaccurate data, please reach out ASAP so we can attempt to run a subsequent migration as necessary. DO NOT try to fix these issues on your own as it will interfere with our ability to programmatically fix data.
If you were utilizing multiple case types for patients in ChiroTouch, please note that those will come over as duplicate patients in ChiroHD. This duplication is unavoidable due to the way ChiroTouch stores and configures data, but can be corrected by manually merging patient profiles after the migration. When merging profiles you will be offered the option to merge cases as well. We recommend not merging cases unless you want all of the previous ChiroTouch balances combined.
To manually merge the profiles, navigate to:
Your Live Location-> Utilities -> Merge Patients
How to Merge Patients
If you used Fortis in your previous system, Fortis needs to update the contacts in their system with the new patient IDs in ChiroHD. As soon as your migration has been completed, please navigate to:
Your Live Location -> Reporting -> Patient List -> ALL -> CSV
Send this .CSV file to your Fortis case manager and let them know these are the updated patient IDs for your contact mapping. It can take Fortis a few days to complete this process, so please complete this as soon as possible post-migration.
If you used Cash Practice in your previous system, Cash Practice needs to update the contacts in their system with the new patient IDs in ChiroHD. The Migration team will send the patient list to Cash Practice on your behalf. Once mapping is complete, Cash Practice will let your office know.
What Migrates from ChiroTouch?
When migrating from ChiroTouch, ChiroHD facilitates the import of the following:
Patient Demographics (Name, Address, Phone...)
Patient Balances
All balances will import into a cash case and can be edited later
See the Post Migration checklist for merging information
Patient files (x-rays, intakes, anything in the documents section)
Calendar Appointments (Past, Present and Future)
However, the following items are examples of items that DO NOT migrate.
SOAP / Doctor notes
Patient IDs
Insurance companies
Insurance policy information
Transactions
Diagnosis Codes
Now that the basics are imported, what's next?
We strongly recommend having your
SCHEDULE dictate the remaining onboarding process!
Instead of trying to go through every patient you've ever seen and manually add the missing data, start with the next day's schedule. This approach will help prevent overwhelm and keep your team feeling empowered!
For instance, start with the first patient on Monday morning. Create a Patient Onboarding Checklist and go through that first patient step by step to fill in the missing pieces.
A sample Onboarding Checklist could look like this:
✅ Check patient demographics
✅ Add/name patient case
✅ Add Dx codes to case
✅ Add policy info to case (if insurance)
✅ Add default charges to case
✅ If mid-care add remaining visits to a care plan or visit tracker
✅ Upload documents
✅ Add alerts or attach alert templates
✅ Add tags
✅ Attach family members
Once that patient is complete, you would then move to the next patient on Monday's schedule. Essentially, you're onboarding patients that are actively under care in the office first, so by the end of two weeks all of your regular patients are fully onboarded in ChiroHD!
For any inconsistent patients, you can onboard on-demand.

Insurance
We generally recommend closing out Insurance cases that were started in your legacy system. Similarly, we recommend that EOBs be posted in the system of origin, so if you created a claim in your legacy system, we recommend posting the corresponding EOB in your legacy system. In contrast, new services rendered post-migration can be processed in ChiroHD.
If your patient is an insurance patient, you will need to create an insurance case first (Open Patient Profile, Click Cases, Add New Case)
DX codes can be added on the first tab
Insurance Policy Information can be added under the Insurance/Coverage tab
Please note that third-party payers must be added first, as discussed in your system and location setup
Add an existing Visit Tracker
The Visit Tracker feature has the ability to track and count specific services. If a patient is mid-care during your migration, you can utilize the "number to add to start" field based on the number of completed visits in your legacy system.
Patient Profile -> Visit Tracker
Since previous charges do not come over from any system, your patient alerts will need to be manually adjusted. This means that if your patient is on visit 10 of their care, and they have an alert that needs to go off on visit 15, you would create an alert for the FIFTH visit. This will need to be manually adjusted for every patient. New patients will be set up normally.

Tie Family Members together
Family Members can be tied together for scheduling purposes, group text reminder delivery, as well as family check-in at the check-in device.
