Respond directly via email at: Stephen.holly@va.gov Statement of Work VISN 23 Image Migration

1. Introduction: VISN 23 replaced its COTS BRIT PACS system with several applications including a vendor neutral archive (VNA) from Hyland software. A previous migration effort utilized BRIT migration servers to move imaging studies from the legacy BRIT PACS to the Hyland VNA.

It has since been determined that VISN up to 1,400,000 migrated medical imaging exams are missing study instances (images). The images involved originate from the various sites in VISN23 as tabulated below, however, the BRIT PACS system is physically located at the Minneapolis VAMC.
