Provider Migration for Self-Hosted Systems

Before you begin

You must complete the NextGen® Enterprise upgrade in a non-production environment that is a recent copy of your Production environment. You can open a case for a NextGen® Enterprise upgrade in NextGen Healthcare Success Community, if you have not completed the self-upgrade curriculum. NextGen Healthcare can also perform the database copy for you.

This is the main process to migrate the self-hosted clients to the latest Surescripts® Messaging standards. To get more details on resolving the individual issues with provider enrollment, see Resolve Issues.

  1. Navigate to your prod environment share > environments > [database] > components folder. ePrescribing ProviderMigration.exe
  2. Double-click ePrescribingProviderMigrationUtility.exe.
