Behavioral health is one of the fastest-growing segments in healthcare software demand — and one of the worst-served by generic EHRs. Longer narrative sessions, treatment plans, group and family therapy, standardized outcome measures, and the heightened confidentiality of psychotherapy notes and 42 CFR Part 2 simply do not fit a general-practice system. Taction Software builds custom behavioral health software — specialty EHRs, telepsychiatry platforms, patient-facing apps, and outcome-measurement systems — that are HIPAA and 42 CFR Part 2 compliant and designed around how behavioral health actually works. Want AI capabilities specifically — ambient documentation, risk modeling, or NLP on clinical narratives — for a behavioral health setting? See our behavioral health AI work. This page covers the broader software build. Schedule a Behavioral Health Software Discovery Call → (NDA-protected) Behavioral health software experience · 42 CFR Part 2-aware · HIPAA + BAA · healthcare engineering credentials Why Behavioral Health Needs Different Software Longer Sessions, Narrative Documentation, Treatment Plans Behavioral health runs on longer sessions, narrative documentation, and structured treatment plans — a documentation model generic EHRs handle awkwardly at best. Group Session & Family Therapy Workflows Group and family therapy require workflows — shared sessions, per-participant notes, group billing — that most packaged systems were never designed for. Heightened Privacy: Psychotherapy Notes & 42 CFR Part 2 Behavioral health carries the most sensitive records in medicine. Psychotherapy notes and substance-use records demand confidentiality controls beyond standard HIPAA, which we build directly into the software (see our HIPAA-compliant development practice and HIPAA risk assessment). Outcome Tracking (PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT, C-SSRS) Behavioral health increasingly runs on measurement-based care. We build administration and longitudinal tracking of standardized instruments such as PHQ-9, GAD-7, AUDIT, and C-SSRS directly into the workflow. Regulatory Reporting & Reimbursement Complexity Reporting and reimbursement in behavioral health carry their own code sets and rules, which the software has to support natively rather than bolt on. Behavioral Health Software Solutions We Build Behavioral Health-Specific EHRs Specialty EHRs for outpatient mental health, substance use disorder treatment, residential treatment programs, and eating disorder treatment — each built around its own clinical workflow, on our custom EHR development foundation. Telepsychiatry & Tele-Mental-Health HIPAA-compliant video sessions, group therapy video platforms, and asynchronous therapy tools, built on our telemedicine practice. Patient-Facing Apps Mood and symptom tracking, therapy homework and between-session engagement, and crisis intervention tools — patient apps that extend care between sessions, built on our patient portal work. Outcome Measurement Platforms Standardized assessment administration, longitudinal outcome tracking, and population reporting for organizations practicing measurement-based care. 42 CFR Part 2 Compliance for SUD Treatment What Part 2 Adds Beyond HIPAA For substance use disorder records, 42 CFR Part 2 imposes confidentiality and consent requirements stricter than HIPAA — particularly around disclosure and redisclosure. Consent Management Architecture We build consent management into the data model itself, so disclosures are governed by patient consent rather than left to manual process. Disclosure Limitations & Audit Trails We enforce disclosure limitations in code and maintain the audit trails Part 2 expects, so compliance is demonstrable. Recent Part 2 Rule Changes The 2024 final rule moved Part 2 closer to HIPAA in several respects, including consent. We build to the current rule and design so future changes are manageable. Behavioral Health Reimbursement Integration Code Set Specifics (90791, 90832, 90834, 90837, 90853) We build native support for behavioral health CPT codes — psychiatric diagnostic evaluation (90791), individual psychotherapy (90832 / 90834 / 90837), and group psychotherapy (90853) — so documentation and billing line up. Insurance Verification & Authorization We integrate insurance verification and authorization workflows, which are especially burdensome in behavioral health. Self-Pay Workflow Support We support self-pay and sliding-scale workflows common in the segment, alongside insurance billing. Telehealth for Behavioral Health State Licensure Compliance We build licensure logic so providers practice within the states where they are licensed. PSYPACT Multi-State Practice For multi-state practice, we support PSYPACT-aware workflows so telepsychology across compact states is handled correctly. Ryan Haight Act Considerations For telepsychiatry that involves prescribing controlled substances, we account for Ryan Haight Act requirements in the workflow. Specialty Sub-Areas We Build For We build for outpatient therapy practices, intensive outpatient (IOP) and partial hospitalization (PHP) programs, residential treatment, substance use disorder programs, pediatric behavioral health, and geriatric mental health — each with its own workflow and regulatory profile. Timeline & Cost Behavioral health projects range from focused builds to full specialty-EHR platforms. Cost and timeline are driven by scope — the modules, integrations, telehealth needs, and the depth of Part 2 and reimbursement support. We provide a firm, scoped estimate after the discovery call. Schedule a Behavioral Health Software Discovery Call → Frequently Asked Questions Why not use a packaged behavioral health EHR? Packaged behavioral health EHRs work for some organizations. Custom development makes sense when your workflows, programs, or business model exceed what packaged systems support — for example unusual program structures, specific outcome-measurement needs, or product ambitions of your own. We will tell you honestly which path fits. Do you support 42 CFR Part 2? Yes. We build Part 2 confidentiality and consent requirements into the data model and enforce disclosure limitations and audit trails in code, aligned to the current rule. Can the platform support multi-state practice? Yes. We build state-licensure logic and PSYPACT-aware workflows so multi-state telehealth practice is handled correctly. How do you handle psychotherapy notes? We treat psychotherapy notes as the specially protected category they are — separated from the rest of the record, with stricter access controls and audit logging, consistent with HIPAA’s heightened protection for them.

If you run an Allscripts (now Veradigm) EHR and you are moving to a dominant platform, the migration’s difficulty lives in the details — custom forms and templates, custom reports, FollowMyHealth, dbMotion, and a marketplace of third-party integrations. Taction Software runs Allscripts and Veradigm migrations for hospitals and provider groups moving to Epic, Cerner (Oracle Health), athenahealth, MEDITECH Expanse, or a custom-built EHR — handling source-environment extraction, data engineering, and integration cutover with zero data loss and minimal clinical downtime. This page covers migrating off Allscripts. For other paths or a general overview, see our EHR migration services; if you instead need to integrate with an Allscripts system you are keeping, see our Allscripts integration work. Schedule an Allscripts Migration Strategy Call → (NDA-protected) When Allscripts Customers Migrate Allscripts Sunrise Roadmap & Divestiture Considerations Allscripts’ acute-care products, including Sunrise, became part of Altera Digital Health after Veradigm divested that business. Some organizations reassess their long-term EHR roadmap in light of that change and the platform’s trajectory. Veradigm Strategy Shifts Strategic shifts at Veradigm prompt some customers to re-evaluate whether their current EHR still fits their direction for the next decade. Health System Consolidation When health systems consolidate, standardizing onto one dominant EHR is a common driver for migrating Allscripts sites onto the acquiring system’s platform. Interoperability & FHIR API Requirements Growing interoperability and FHIR API requirements lead some organizations toward platforms that better fit their long-term integration strategy. Allscripts Products We Migrate From We migrate from the full Allscripts / Veradigm line: Allscripts Sunrise (acute care), Allscripts Professional EHR (ambulatory), Allscripts TouchWorks, Allscripts Practice Management, and the FollowMyHealth patient portal. Target EHRs We Migrate To We migrate Allscripts environments to Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), athenahealth, MEDITECH Expanse, or a custom-built EHR for specialty practices — drawing on our Epic EHR integration experience and, for Cerner-bound systems, our dedicated Cerner-to-Epic migration practice. Allscripts Migration Methodology Source Environment Discovery We profile the Allscripts environment — data, custom builds, reports, and interfaces — so scope is understood before design. Data Mapping & Transformation Engineering We build and validate the ETL and transformation rules into the target EHR, as part of our custom healthcare software development engineering. Integration Cutover Planning We plan and rebuild the interface fabric in the target system using HL7, FHIR, and Mirth Connect. Phased Go-Live with Rollback Capability We support a phased go-live with reconciliation reporting and rollback paths at every step. Specific Challenges of Allscripts Migrations Data Model Complexity The real work is in the customizations: custom forms and templates, custom reports, and workflow configurations that have to be understood and either translated or retired deliberately. Integration Footprint Allscripts environments carry a distinctive integration footprint — FollowMyHealth, Allscripts Open API and dbMotion, and third-party Allscripts Marketplace integrations — each of which needs a deliberate plan in the target system. Timeline & Investment Typical Range: 9–18 Months Most Allscripts migrations run nine to eighteen months, depending on which products are in use, environment size, and customization volume. Cost Drivers Specific to Allscripts Migrations Cost is driven largely by the volume of custom forms, templates, and reports, the dbMotion and FollowMyHealth footprint, and the number of marketplace and third-party integrations to rebuild. We give a firm, scoped estimate after the strategy call. Schedule an Allscripts Migration Strategy Call → Frequently Asked Questions How long does Allscripts migration take? Typically nine to eighteen months, depending on the Allscripts products in use, environment size, customization volume, and integration footprint. We provide a firm timeline after the strategy call. What about custom Allscripts builds and templates? Custom forms, templates, reports, and workflow configurations are the main source of migration risk. We catalog them in discovery, translate the ones you still need into the target EHR’s equivalents, and retire the rest deliberately. Can we keep FollowMyHealth during transition? We plan the patient-portal transition explicitly — including how long FollowMyHealth remains in place and how the move to the target system’s portal is sequenced — so patients are not left without access during cutover. How do you handle the dbMotion integration footprint? We inventory the dbMotion and Allscripts Open API footprint in discovery and rebuild the necessary data flows in the target environment, so interoperability continues after the source system is retired.

Moving a health system from Cerner (now Oracle Health) to Epic is one of the most demanding programs in healthcare IT — and the hardest part is rarely Epic itself, which Epic’s own team leads. The hard part is getting your data, integrations, and clinical workflows out of Cerner Millennium cleanly and into Epic without losing anything or disrupting care. That is exactly where Taction Software fits: we handle the Cerner-side extraction, the data migration engineering, and the integration cutover, working alongside your Epic implementation team — with a zero-data-loss methodology and a reconciliation trail that proves it. This page covers the Cerner-to-Epic path specifically. For other platform moves or a general overview, see our EHR migration services. Request a Cerner-to-Epic Migration Strategy Briefing → (NDA-protected) Cerner & Epic migration experience · 785+ healthcare organizations served · ISO 27001-certified · BAA-ready Why Health Systems Are Moving From Cerner to Epic Post-Oracle Acquisition Strategic Considerations Following Oracle’s acquisition of Cerner, many health systems are re-evaluating their long-term EHR strategy and roadmap confidence. For some, that evaluation ends in a decision to move to Epic. Epic Market Position & Roadmap Confidence Epic’s market position, integrated suite, and product roadmap give some organizations more long-term confidence — a major factor in a decision this expensive and long-lived. Integration & Interoperability Differences Differences in how the platforms handle integration and interoperability influence the decision, especially for systems with a large, complex interface footprint. Workforce & Talent Availability The availability of Epic-experienced clinical and IT talent in the market is a practical consideration for systems planning for the next decade. What Makes Cerner-to-Epic Migrations Different Cerner Data Model Complexity Getting data out of Cerner cleanly means working with the Millennium architecture, the Cerner Open Engine interface layer, and PowerChart data structures — and understanding where the clinically important data actually lives. Epic Implementation Requirements The target side means mapping into Epic’s Chronicles operational data model and Clarity reporting database, aligned to your Epic module configuration — work that has to match how Epic is being built for you. Integration Differences The interface fabric changes shape: Cerner HL7 and FHIR endpoints on one side, Epic’s bridges, App Orchard / Connection Hub, and integration tooling on the other. We rebuild that fabric deliberately, drawing on our Epic EHR integration, HL7, and FHIR practices. Our Cerner-to-Epic Migration Methodology Phase 1: Cerner Environment Discovery We profile the Cerner environment — data, interfaces, custom builds, and reports — so the full scope is understood before design begins. Phase 2: Epic Implementation Coordination We coordinate with your Epic implementation team so our data and integration work aligns precisely with how Epic is being configured and when it goes live. Phase 3: Data Migration Engineering We build and validate the ETL from Cerner to Epic, with repeated test migration cycles and data-quality validation, drawing on our custom healthcare software development engineering. Phase 4: Integration Cutover We re-establish the interface fabric in Epic — labs, imaging, pharmacy, HIE, public health, and third-party apps — using Mirth Connect and Epic’s integration tooling. Phase 5: Phased Go-Live & Stabilization We support a phased go-live with reconciliation reporting, rollback paths, and post-cutover stabilization until the environment is proven stable. Data We Migrate We migrate the full record from Cerner to Epic: patient master index and demographics, clinical documentation, orders, results, and medications, scheduling and visit history, billing and revenue-cycle data, and — critically for compliance — audit logs and compliance records. Integration Migration We rebuild every interface the new environment needs: lab and imaging interfaces, pharmacy integration, HIE connections, public health reporting, and third-party application integration, so Epic is fully connected at go-live. Clinical Workflow Continuity Order Set & Documentation Template Translation We translate order sets and documentation templates so clinicians find the workflows they depend on in Epic. Clinical Decision Support Migration We carry clinical decision support logic across so safety and guidance do not regress in the new system. Reporting & Quality Measure Continuity We preserve reporting and quality-measure continuity, including the move from Cerner CCL reporting to Epic’s Clarity, so your reporting does not go dark after cutover. Timeline & Investment for Cerner-to-Epic Migration Typical Range: 12–24 Months A health-system Cerner-to-Epic migration is typically a twelve-to-twenty-four-month program, paced largely by the Epic implementation it runs alongside. Phase-Based Cost Structure Cost is structured by phase — discovery, engineering, integration, and go-live — and driven by environment size, integration footprint, and the volume of custom Cerner builds and reports to translate. Internal Resource Requirements We are explicit up front about the internal clinical, IT, and data resources the program needs from you, so staffing is planned rather than discovered mid-project. Request a Cerner-to-Epic Migration Strategy Briefing → Frequently Asked Questions How long does a Cerner to Epic migration take? For a health system, typically twelve to twenty-four months, paced by the Epic implementation it runs alongside and by your environment’s size, integration footprint, and custom-build volume. We give a firm timeline after the strategy briefing. Are you Epic-certified or in App Orchard? Epic’s build is led by Epic and Epic-credentialed resources, and Epic controls module certification for that work. Our role is the Cerner-side extraction, data migration engineering, and integration — and we develop to Epic’s integration program (App Orchard / Connection Hub) where your project requires it. Tell us your specifics on the briefing and we will confirm exactly how our team’s credentials map to your engagement. Will Epic’s own implementation team work alongside you? Yes. Epic typically leads the Epic configuration and go-live; we work alongside that team, owning the source-system extraction, data conversion, and integration cutover, and coordinating tightly so the two streams stay in lockstep. What about Cerner add-on modules? We inventory your Cerner add-on modules in discovery and plan how each one’s data and workflow are handled — migrated, replaced by an Epic equivalent, or archived — rather than discovering them at cutover. How do you handle CCL reports and custom Cerner builds? Custom Cerner builds and CCL (Cerner

An EHR migration is one of the largest, riskiest projects a healthcare organization ever undertakes — and most of the pain is avoidable. Taction Software runs end-to-end EHR migrations for hospitals, health systems, and multi-site provider groups: discovery and strategy, data mapping and ETL engineering, integration cutover, parallel-run validation, phased go-live, and stabilization — engineered for zero data loss and minimal clinical downtime. Because we are healthcare software engineers who live in HL7, FHIR, and EHR integration every day, we treat your migration as an engineering problem with a reconciliation trail, not a hopeful data dump. This page covers full platform migration — moving from one EHR to another, including workflows, integrations, and go-live.

We profile the source data up front, so volume and quality surprises happen in discovery — not during cutover. Inadequate Clinical Workflow Discovery A migration that moves data but breaks workflows fails clinically even if it “succeeds” technically. We map the real clinical workflows before we design anything. Integration Footprint Mismanagement Every EHR sits in a web of HL7 and FHIR interfaces to labs, imaging, pharmacy, billing, and HIEs. Miss one and something breaks at go-live. We audit the full integration footprint and rebuild it deliberately. Insufficient Parallel-Run Testing Skipping a real parallel run is how organizations discover reconciliation gaps after the old system is gone. We run and reconcile a parallel window before cutover. Inadequate Clinician Change Management Even a flawless data migration fails if clinicians cannot work in the new system. We plan phased go-live and clinician readiness into the project, not as an afterthought. Our EHR Migration Methodology Phase 1: Discovery & Migration Strategy Source system analysis, data inventory and profiling, clinical workflow mapping, integration footprint audit, and a risk register — the phase that determines whether everything after it goes smoothly. Phase 2: Migration Design Data mapping and transformation rules, an integration cutover plan, a historical data strategy, and compliance and audit-trail preservation — the design that makes the engineering predictable. Phase 3: Migration Engineering ETL pipeline development, data quality validation, integration rebuild, and repeated test migration cycles — the build, validated again and again before it ever touches production. Phase 4: Parallel Operation & Cutover A parallel-run window, reconciliation reporting that proves every record landed, a phased go-live, and rollback procedures ready at every step. Phase 5: Stabilization & Decommissioning Post-cutover monitoring, issue triage and resolution, and orderly source-system decommissioning once the new environment is proven stable. EHR Migration Paths We’ve Executed We work across the major platforms and the long tail: Cerner to Epic, Allscripts to Epic or Cerner, athenahealth migration and reverse, eClinicalWorks to a modern EHR, NextGen migration, MEDITECH migration, legacy or custom EHR to a major platform, and on-premises to cloud EHR. EHR-vendor integration is a core competency — see our Epic EHR integration and Mirth Connect integration work. Data We Migrate We migrate the full clinical and operational record: patient demographics and master patient index, clinical documentation and notes, orders, results, and medications, allergies, problems, and immunizations, scheduling and encounters, billing and claims history, documents, images, and attachments, and — critically for compliance — audit logs. Integration Cutover Migration is half the job; re-establishing the integration fabric is the other half. We handle HL7 v2 interface re-establishment, FHIR API migration, lab, imaging, and pharmacy interfaces, billing and practice-management integration, and state HIE and public health reporting, so the new EHR is fully connected on day one. Risk Management Zero-Data-Loss Methodology Every record is mapped, migrated, and reconciled, with reconciliation reporting that proves completeness rather than asserting it. Clinical Downtime Minimization We design cutover to minimize clinical downtime, using parallel operation and phased go-live to keep care running. Compliance Continuity We preserve audit trails and PHI safeguards throughout, so data security and compliance never lapse during the move. Rollback Capability at Every Phase At every phase there is a defined rollback path, so a problem is a contained step backward — not a crisis. EHR Migration Timeline & Cost Drivers Small Practice (1–3 Months) Smaller migrations with contained data and a limited integration footprint typically run one to three months. Multi-Site Practice (6–12 Months) Multi-site groups, with more data, more integrations, and more workflows to align, generally run six to twelve months. Health System / Hospital (12–24 Months) Enterprise health-system migrations are major programs, typically twelve to twenty-four months, where disciplined methodology matters most. Cost is driven by data volume and quality, the number of integrations, the number of sites and users, and how much historical data must come across live. Request a Free EHR Migration Readiness Assessment → Frequently Asked Questions How long does an EHR migration take? From one to three months for a small practice to twelve to twenty-four months for a health system, depending on data volume, integration footprint, number of sites, and historical-data scope. We give you a firm timeline after the readiness assessment. Can clinical operations continue during migration? Yes. We design for continuity using parallel operation and phased go-live, so clinicians keep working while data and integrations move, and downtime at cutover is minimized. What about historical data we don’t need actively? We define a historical-data strategy with you — migrating what must be live in the new system and archiving the rest in a compliant, accessible form, rather than forcing everything into the new EHR. How do you handle PHI during migration? PHI is protected end to end: encrypted in transit and at rest, access restricted and logged, and handled under a signed BAA. Audit trails are preserved through the migration. Will you sign a BAA? Yes, before

ONC Health IT Certification is a long, technical, high-stakes process, and very few firms can take a product through it end to end. Taction Software prepares EHR vendors and health-tech products for certification under the ONC Health IT Certification Program (administered by ASTP/ONC) — closing the gap against your target criteria, engineering the FHIR APIs and functional features the criteria require, preparing you for ONC-Authorized Testing Lab (ATL) testing, validating conformance with the Inferno test suite, and coordinating your ONC-Authorized Certification Body (ACB) submission.

Privacy & Security Criteria We implement the privacy and security criteria — authentication, access control, and authorization, audit reports, encryption, and patient matching — building on our healthcare data security practice. Interoperability Criteria We implement the interoperability criteria at the center of the Cures Act: the FHIR API (§170.315(g)(10)), USCDI data elements, care plan and provenance, and public health reporting — drawing on our FHIR API development and HL7 integration work. Our ONC Certification Methodology Gap Analysis Against Target Criteria We assess your product against the specific criteria you intend to certify to, producing a concrete gap list with the engineering work each gap requires. Engineering Implementation We build what is missing — FHIR APIs, functional features, security controls — directly in your product, as part of our custom healthcare software development and EHR development work. This is where consulting-only firms stall and we keep moving. ATL Test Procedure Preparation We prepare your product and your team for the formal ATL test procedures, so testing is a confirmation rather than a discovery. Inferno Test Suite Conformance We validate (g)(10) and related conformance against the Inferno test suite before formal testing, catching conformance issues early. ACB Submission & Surveillance Readiness We support your ACB submission and prepare you for ongoing surveillance, so certification holds up after it is granted. USCDI Coverage & Implementation USCDI Data Class Implementation We implement the USCDI data classes required by your criteria. (Certification currently centers on USCDI v3, with later versions phasing in — we build to the version your target criteria require.) Code System Coverage We implement the required terminologies end to end: LOINC, SNOMED CT, RxNorm, and ICD-10, mapped correctly to the relevant data elements. FHIR Resource Mapping We map your clinical data to the correct FHIR resources and profiles so your API returns conformant, US Core-aligned data. Cures Act API Requirements (§170.315(g)(10)) FHIR R4 Capability Statement A conformant FHIR R4 server with an accurate capability statement describing exactly what your API supports.

Bulk Data Export (Flat FHIR) Population-level bulk data export (Flat FHIR / FHIR Bulk Data) as required by the criterion. Patient-Facing API A patient-facing API that lets patients access their data through third-party apps, as the Cures Act intends. Certification Timeline & Investment Phase 1: Gap Analysis (4–6 weeks) We establish exactly where you stand against your target criteria and scope the work. Phase 2: Implementation (4–8 months) The engineering phase — building the APIs, features, and controls the criteria require. Duration depends on how far your current product is from the target. Phase 3: ATL Testing (1–3 months) Formal testing with an ONC-Authorized Testing Lab, which we prepare you for and support throughout. Phase 4: ACB Submission & Certification Submission through your ONC-Authorized Certification Body and the issuance of certification, with surveillance readiness in place. ONC ATL & ACB Coordination ATL Coordination We coordinate directly with ONC-Authorized Testing Labs, managing test procedures and the back-and-forth so your team stays focused on the product.

Most products today certify against the 2015 Edition Cures Update criteria, but exactly which criteria you need depends on your product type and how your customers use it. The free path assessment identifies the specific criteria that apply to you. Do we need certification, or just Cures Act API compliance? They are related but not identical. Some organizations are obligated to hold formal certification (for example, to support customers in CMS programs); others primarily need to meet Cures Act API requirements without full module certification. We help you determine which actually applies — see our overview of 21st Century Cures Act compliance. Can you do partial module certification? Yes. You can certify to the specific criteria relevant to your product rather than an entire suite, and we scope the engagement to the criteria you actually need. Who pays for ATL & ACB?

A healthcare security audit is broader than a penetration test and broader than a single risk analysis. It evaluates your entire security posture — governance, technical controls, architecture, and operations — against the frameworks that matter in healthcare, and tells your board, your auditors, and your customers where you actually stand. Taction Software performs comprehensive healthcare cybersecurity audits for hospitals, provider groups, and health-tech organizations, delivering audit-ready documentation, a risk-prioritized remediation roadmap, and an executive briefing leadership can act on. Because we are healthcare software engineers, we can also fix what the audit finds. This audit is the wide-angle view.

Post-Incident Investigation After a breach or near-miss, an audit establishes what failed, what else is exposed, and what must change — supporting both remediation and any regulatory response. Annual Security Program Review Mature organizations audit their program annually to confirm controls still operate, track maturity over time, and satisfy ongoing obligations. BAA / Customer-Required Audit Enterprise customers and partners increasingly require evidence of an independent security audit as a condition of doing business. Board / Investor Mandate Boards and investors, especially after a peer breach, mandate an independent audit to quantify and govern cyber risk. What’s Included in a Comprehensive Audit Governance & Program Review We assess your security program maturity, your policies and procedures, your risk management process, and your vendor management and BAA compliance — the organizational foundation everything else rests on. See our HIPAA compliance consulting practice. Technical Controls Review We review the controls that actually protect PHI: identity and access management, encryption at rest and in transit, logging and monitoring, vulnerability management, and patch management, building on our healthcare data security work. Architecture Review We evaluate network segmentation, cloud configuration, PHI data flows, and integration security across your environment. Cloud-heavy environments benefit from our HIPAA-compliant cloud architecture experience. Operations Review We assess your incident response capability, disaster recovery and business continuity, workforce security training, and physical safeguards — the operational readiness that determines how well you withstand a real event.

Pre-Acquisition Due Diligence A diligence-oriented audit that gives acquirers and investors an independent posture and liability read on a target. What Sets Our Healthcare Audit Practice Apart Healthcare-Specific Threat Knowledge We audit against the threats healthcare actually faces — ransomware targeting clinical availability, PHI as a high-value target, integration and medical-device exposure — not a generic enterprise template. Remediation Capability — Not Just Findings This is the decisive difference. Most audit firms hand you findings and leave. We are healthcare software engineers and can remediate the gaps directly, as part of our broader custom healthcare software development work — closing the loop instead of opening a new procurement. Clinical Workflow Understanding We assess controls in the context of real clinical workflows, so our recommendations strengthen security without breaking the way clinicians work. Request an Audit Scoping Discussion → Frequently Asked Questions How long does a healthcare security audit take? Most comprehensive audits run a few weeks to a couple of months depending on the size and complexity of your environment and how readily documentation and stakeholders are available. Focused audits are faster. We give you a firm timeline at scoping. Will you remediate findings? Yes. Unlike a pure audit firm, we are healthcare software engineers and can close the technical gaps we identify, then verify the fixes. Audits frequently lead to a remediation engagement, and we can do that work directly. Can the audit support SOC 2? Yes. The control work and evidence overlap substantially, so the audit can feed directly into a SOC 2 effort and we map findings to it as part of the gap analysis. Do you sign a BAA? Yes, before any access to PHI or PHI environments. We can use our standard template or work from yours.

A HIPAA risk assessment is not optional and it is not a formality. The HIPAA Security Rule requires every covered entity and business associate to conduct an accurate and thorough assessment of the risks to electronic protected health information — and a missing or inadequate assessment is the single most common finding in OCR enforcement actions. Taction Software performs HIPAA Security Rule risk assessments for hospitals, specialty practices, health-tech vendors, payers, and business associates, and delivers audit-ready documentation plus a prioritized remediation roadmap you can actually execute. We are a healthcare software engineering firm, not a generic IT auditor. That means we understand clinical workflows, healthcare-specific threat models, and — critically — we can remediate the gaps we find, not just hand you a report. Over 785 healthcare organizations have run software we built, integrated, or secured in environments handling PHI. What Is a HIPAA Risk Assessment A HIPAA risk assessment (also called a HIPAA security risk analysis) is a systematic evaluation of the potential risks and vulnerabilities to the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the electronic protected health information your organization creates, receives, maintains, or transmits. The output is a documented analysis of where PHI lives, what could go wrong, how likely and how damaging each scenario is, and what you will do about it. HIPAA Security Rule Requirement (§164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A)) The risk analysis is an explicit implementation specification under the Security Management Process standard of the HIPAA Security Rule, at 45 CFR §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A). It is a foundational requirement: nearly every other safeguard in the Security Rule depends on it, because you cannot reasonably implement controls without first understanding your risks. This is also why “we didn’t have a current risk analysis” is the finding that turns a minor incident into a major penalty. When You’re Required to Conduct One You are required to conduct a risk analysis when you first become subject to the Security Rule, and to review and update it periodically — in practice, at least annually and whenever there is a material change to your systems, your operations, or your threat environment. A risk assessment is a living obligation, not a one-time project, which is why we structure engagements so the documentation and tooling we leave behind make the next review far easier. Common Triggers: Audit, BAA, Funding, Acquisition, Incident Most organizations engage us because something forced the issue: an OCR audit or investigation, a customer or partner requiring a Business Associate Agreement and proof of a current assessment, a funding round or acquisition where the diligence team flagged the gap, a board mandate after a peer breach, or a security incident that exposed how exposed they actually were. If any of these describe you, you likely have a deadline — and we structure the engagement to meet it. Our HIPAA Risk Assessment Methodology Our methodology is aligned with NIST SP 800-30, the federal standard for risk assessments, and tailored to the realities of healthcare environments. It runs in five phases. Phase 1: Asset & PHI Inventory We map every place PHI is created, received, stored, and transmitted — applications, databases, endpoints, cloud services, integrations, and the business associates in your chain. You cannot protect data you have not located, and incomplete inventories are where most assessments quietly fail. Phase 2: Threat & Vulnerability Identification We identify the threats and vulnerabilities relevant to each asset, using healthcare-specific threat models rather than generic checklists — ransomware against clinical systems, insider access to PHI, misconfigured cloud storage, weak integration endpoints, and the long tail of legacy interfaces common in healthcare. Phase 3: Current Controls Assessment We evaluate the administrative, technical, and physical safeguards you already have in place against what the Security Rule requires and what your risk profile demands, documenting what is working, what is partial, and what is missing. Phase 4: Risk Scoring & Prioritization We score each risk by likelihood and impact so that remediation is driven by actual exposure, not by whatever is loudest. The result is a defensible, prioritized picture you can take to leadership and to auditors. Phase 5: Remediation Roadmap & Documentation We deliver a remediation roadmap with priorities and effort estimates, updated policies and procedures, and the complete risk analysis documentation an auditor expects to see. Because we are an engineering firm, we can also execute the remediation — see our HIPAA compliance software development practice. What’s Included in Every Engagement Deliverables Every engagement produces a complete, audit-ready documentation set: Coverage Areas The assessment covers the full scope the Security Rule contemplates: technical safeguards (access control, audit controls, integrity, transmission security, authentication), administrative safeguards (security management, workforce training, contingency planning), physical safeguards (facility access, device and media controls), organizational requirements including your Business Associate Agreements, and your policies and procedures. Why a Specialized Healthcare Firm vs. a Generic IT Auditor Most HIPAA risk assessments on the market are performed by generalist IT audit firms running a standard checklist. Healthcare is different, and the difference shows up exactly where it matters. Clinical Workflow Understanding We understand how clinicians actually use systems, which means we assess risk in the context of real workflows rather than flagging “risks” that are actually necessary clinical functions — and we spot the workflow-driven workarounds that create genuine exposure. Healthcare-Specific Threat Models Healthcare faces threats other industries do not: ransomware targeting clinical availability, PHI as a high-value target, medical device and integration exposure. We assess against models built for this environment, not a generic enterprise template. Familiarity with HHS/OCR Enforcement Patterns We track how OCR actually enforces — what findings recur, what documentation auditors expect, and where organizations like yours get caught. Read our overview of HIPAA violation penalties and our HIPAA-compliant development checklist. Remediation Capability — Not Just Reporting This is the decisive difference. A generic auditor hands you a list of problems and leaves. We can fix them — closing technical gaps in your applications, hardening your data security, and building the controls your assessment calls for, as part of our broader custom healthcare

Healthcare IT solutions are the systems, integrations, and services that keep clinical, financial, and operational data flowing across a healthcare organization — EHRs, HL7 and FHIR interfaces, telehealth platforms, revenue cycle systems, analytics, identity, and the infrastructure that holds it all together under HIPAA, HITECH, and 21st Century Cures Act requirements. Taction Software delivers healthcare IT solutions for hospitals, health systems, physician groups, payers, digital health companies, and life sciences organizations — covering strategy, integration, custom development, infrastructure, and managed support. Introduction Healthcare IT problems rarely look like IT problems on the surface. They show up as a billing team manually re-keying claims because the EHR and clearinghouse never connected properly. A clinician spending the last hour of the day finishing documentation because the workflow makes them click 17 times for what should be three. A care manager calling the lab for results that arrived in the inbox an hour ago but went to the wrong worklist. The underlying issues are usually interoperability gaps, identity sprawl, workflow design that ignored how the work actually happens, or infrastructure that was never built for the data volumes it now carries. We work on all of it — clinical systems, payer-facing systems, infrastructure, and the integration layer that holds them together. Healthcare IT Solutions Overview We deliver healthcare IT as a full practice, not as isolated projects. Engagements range from a single HL7 interface build to multi-year modernization programs spanning EHR integration, analytics, telehealth, and infrastructure.

Quick Answer: Application re-engineering (also called software re-engineering or application reengineering) is the structured modernization of legacy software — updating its code, architecture, database, hosting, and user experience while preserving the business logic and data that already work. Typical projects run 6–12 weeks for component-level work and 6–24 months for full platform modernization, at a fraction of the cost and risk of a full rewrite. Taction Software re-engineers legacy applications across .NET, Java, PHP, Python, Node.js, and older stacks like ASP Classic, VB6, ColdFusion, and PowerBuilder — moving them to modern frameworks, cloud platforms, and supportable architectures without breaking production. Introduction Most legacy modernization projects fail for the same reason. The plan starts as a full rewrite, the original team underestimates how much undocumented logic lives in the old system, and 18 months in the rebuild still does not match what the legacy app quietly does on Tuesday afternoons. Re-engineering is the alternative — keep what works, replace what is risky, and move incrementally. The goal is not to ship a brand-new product. The goal is to take an application that has become slow, fragile, expensive, or unsupported and turn it back into something the business can build on for the next decade. We have re-engineered healthcare platforms, CRM systems, internal ERPs, ecommerce stacks, and SaaS products. The work is rarely glamorous. It is almost always worth doing. What Is Software Re-Engineering? Software re-engineering is the examination and alteration of an existing system to reconstitute it in a new form — the umbrella discipline that application re-engineering belongs to. In practice, the terms are used interchangeably: both describe taking working-but-aging software through reverse engineering (understanding what exists), restructuring (improving code and architecture), and forward engineering (rebuilding components on modern technology). Our software re-engineering services cover all three stages: The distinction that matters isn’t terminology — it’s that re-engineering preserves proven business logic while a rewrite gambles on rediscovering it. Application Re-Engineering Services Overview Engagements range from a single-component refactor to multi-year platform modernization. We work on applications running on current frameworks that need cleanup, and on systems built on technology stacks that are 10–20 years old and need a careful path forward. Common situations we step into: Core Application Re-Engineering Services Legacy Application Modernization Full lifecycle modernization of applications built on ASP Classic, VB6, .NET Framework, legacy Java EE, ColdFusion, Delphi, PowerBuilder, FoxPro, Perl, and older PHP versions. Target stacks include modern .NET, Java (Spring Boot), Node.js, Python, Go, and PHP 8.x. Code Refactoring and Technical Debt Reduction Structured refactoring of existing codebases — breaking down god classes, introducing test coverage, removing dead code, standardizing patterns, and bringing dependencies current. Useful when the code is salvageable but unsafe to change. Replatforming and Framework Migration Moving applications between frameworks and runtimes — .NET Framework to .NET 8, Java 8 to Java 21, AngularJS to Angular / React, jQuery to modern frontends, monolithic PHP to Laravel or Symfony, classic ASP to ASP.NET Core. Architecture Modernization Monolith-to-services migration, event-driven redesign, API layer introduction, frontend/backend separation, and database decomposition. We use the strangler fig pattern when it fits — replacing pieces of the legacy system behind a stable API while production stays live. Cloud Migration and Replatforming Lift-and-shift, replatforming (re-host with managed services), and re-architecting for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Includes containerization with Docker and Kubernetes, serverless rewrites where they make sense, and infrastructure-as-code with Terraform or Bicep. Database Migration and Modernization Moves between SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL, and cloud-native databases. Stored procedure modernization, schema redesign, and migrations from legacy databases (Sybase, DB2, FoxPro, Access) to modern engines. Frontend Re-Engineering Replacing legacy frontends (jQuery, AngularJS, Knockout, Backbone, classic ASP rendering, server-side JSP) with React, Next.js, Vue, or Angular. Includes design system work, accessibility (WCAG 2.1 AA), and responsive redesign. API-First Re-Architecture Wrapping legacy applications in stable REST or GraphQL APIs so new frontends, mobile apps, and partner integrations can be built independently of the legacy core — and the legacy can be replaced behind the API later. Performance Re-Engineering Profiling, query tuning, caching introduction, queue offloading, and frontend performance work for applications that have become slow under modern load. Useful when the architecture is fundamentally sound but no longer meets SLAs. Security Re-Engineering OWASP-aligned remediation of legacy applications — fixing SQL injection, XSS, authentication weaknesses, outdated cryptography, missing audit logs, and unpatched dependencies. Often paired with a hosting move and identity modernization (SSO, MFA, OAuth 2.0). Application Reverse Engineering and Documentation For systems where the original team and documentation are gone — code analysis, data flow reconstruction, business logic extraction, and written specifications before any rebuild work is committed. Managed Modernization Programs Multi-quarter modernization roadmaps delivered as a managed program — combining refactoring, replatforming, cloud migration, and incremental feature work behind a single backlog. Re-Engineering vs. Rewrite vs. Replace The first decision in every modernization conversation is whether to re-engineer the existing application, rewrite it from scratch, or replace it with a commercial product. We help clients make this call honestly. Factor Re-Engineer Rewrite Replace (COTS) Best when Business logic is valuable and largely correct Data model is fundamentally wrong; stack has no migration path Mature commercial product covers the workflow Risk Low–moderate (incremental, reversible) High (big-bang, logic rediscovery) Moderate (workflow fit, data migration) Timeline 6 weeks–24 months, phased Often 12–24+ months before parity 3–12 months to configure and migrate Production impact Stays live throughout Hard cutover at the end Hard cutover at the end Relative cost Typically 30–60% of a rewrite Highest License + migration + customization Choose it when Production can’t afford a hard cutover and the domain model holds up The app is small enough to rebuild in months, or a clean break unlocks new strategy The app is no longer a differentiator We have recommended all three outcomes to clients. The wrong answer is usually whichever one was decided before the discovery work started. How Much Do Application Re-Engineering Services Cost? Re-engineering cost depends on codebase size, stack age, test coverage, and how much of the system

PHP development services cover the design, build, and maintenance of web applications, APIs, and enterprise platforms using PHP and its major frameworks — Laravel, Symfony, CodeIgniter, Yii, and CakePHP. Modern PHP services also include legacy code modernization, PHP 8.x upgrades, API development, headless backends, CMS work (WordPress, Drupal, Magento), and performance tuning. Taction Software builds, modernizes, and maintains PHP applications for SaaS companies, healthcare and CRM platforms, ecommerce businesses, and enterprises that have significant PHP investments they need to keep healthy. Introduction PHP gets dismissed more often than it deserves. A large share of the production web still runs on it — WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Laravel SaaS products, SuiteCRM, custom enterprise apps built a decade ago that quietly handle millions of requests. The real PHP problem most companies face is not the language. It is inherited code from three previous teams, a PHP 5.6 application that has not been touched in years, a Laravel app stuck on version 6 because the upgrade keeps getting deprioritized, or a custom CMS that nobody fully understands anymore. Our PHP work falls into two buckets. New builds where PHP and Laravel are genuinely the right choice — fast iteration, strong ecosystem, well-understood hiring market. And modernization where the existing PHP codebase is too valuable to throw away but too risky to keep ignoring. PHP Development Services Overview We work with PHP across the full lifecycle — greenfield builds, framework migrations, legacy modernization, API development, and managed support. Engagements range from a single Laravel API build to multi-year platform rebuilds. Common situations we step into: Core PHP Development Services Custom PHP Web Application Development End-to-end builds for SaaS products, internal business platforms, customer portals, and B2B tools. Architecture, database design, frontend integration, and deployment included. Laravel Development Services Greenfield Laravel apps, Laravel package development, Livewire and Inertia builds, Laravel API platforms, Nova admin panels, and queue-driven background processing. Senior Laravel engineers comfortable with Octane, Horizon, and modern Laravel patterns. Symfony Development Services Symfony application builds, bundle development, API Platform integrations, and Doctrine ORM work for enterprises that prefer Symfony’s structure for larger long-lived systems. CodeIgniter, Yii, and CakePHP Development Active development on existing CodeIgniter, Yii, and CakePHP applications, plus migrations off these frameworks when the cost of staying on them outweighs the cost of moving. PHP API Development RESTful APIs, GraphQL APIs, OAuth 2.0 authorization servers, webhook architectures, and microservices in PHP. Designed for third-party consumption, internal service-to-service traffic, or mobile/SPA frontends. Headless CMS and Decoupled PHP Backends PHP backends powering React, Next.js, Vue, Nuxt, and mobile frontends. Includes headless WordPress, headless Drupal, and custom Laravel/Symfony APIs. Legacy PHP Modernization Upgrades from PHP 5.x and 7.x to PHP 8.2 / 8.3, framework version jumps (Laravel 5 → 11, Symfony 3 → 7, CodeIgniter 3 → 4), dependency cleanup, security hardening, and gradual replatforming of risky modules. WordPress Custom Development Custom themes, custom plugins, headless WordPress builds, WooCommerce extensions, and multisite architectures. Not page-builder template work — actual engineering on the WordPress codebase. Drupal Development and Support Custom modules, Drupal 9/10/11 upgrades, theme development, and integrations for content-heavy publishing, government, and education platforms. Magento and Adobe Commerce Development Custom extensions, performance tuning, B2B builds, multi-store setups, and Magento 1 → Magento 2 migrations. SuiteCRM and SugarCRM PHP Development Custom modules, workflow logic, integrations, and upgrades for SuiteCRM and SugarCRM platforms. For more on the CRM side, see our work with TechEsperto’s SuiteCRM services. PHP Performance Optimization OPcache tuning, query optimization, N+1 detection, queue offloading, caching strategy (Redis, Memcached), and load testing. Useful when an app is suddenly slow under traffic it used to handle. PHP Security Audits and Hardening Code review against OWASP Top 10, dependency scanning, secrets review, SQL injection and XSS remediation, authentication hardening, and PHP version security patching. Managed PHP Support and Maintenance Ongoing bug fixes, security patches, dependency updates, framework upgrades, and incremental feature work for production PHP applications.

Modern PHP (8.2+) with Laravel or Symfony is fast, well-typed, and has a strong ecosystem for everything from billing to background jobs. The case against PHP is usually about legacy codebases, not the language itself. The case for PHP is hiring depth, framework
