As healthcare expands its shift to the cloud, developing a long-term EHR hosting strategy is an urgent priority for IT leaders. For NextGen users particularly, the upcoming AWS 2028 transition milestone is prompting many healthcare organizations to evaluate the change’s impact on infrastructure, cybersecurity, workflow continuity, and operational resilience.

To reduce confusion and uncertainty around cloud migration, the following strategic advantages explore why partnering with Med Tech Solutions early is critical for your NextGen hosting strategy.

  1. Gain early clarity on readiness, scope, and risk.
    According to recent industry data, cloud adoption in healthcare remains roughly half that of other sectors, reflecting ongoing hesitation around EHR hosting transitions. Migration timelines, infrastructure dependencies, customization, and security requirements all influence complexity and cost. However, waiting to transition will not ease these concerns. As a trusted ally, Med Tech Solutions can help eliminate ambiguity by guiding healthcare organizations through a comprehensive readiness assessment that identifies risks potentially impacting continuity. MTS also provides a detailed understanding of what will be required for transition, how long it will take, and how it will impact a healthcare organization’s larger digital strategy.Healthcare organizations who start this transition early with MTS gain a clear view of infrastructure dependencies, identify which systems must move with NextGen, and allow for testing, validation, and financial forecasting well ahead of deadlines. Early partnership with MTS to AWS cloud now prevents a last-minute, high-pressure NextGen hosting transition that could strain limited internal IT resources. 
  2. Integrate the NextGen on AWS move into your strategic roadmap.
    Migrating to NextGen on AWS is not just a technical shift. It directly affects security, data governance, and long-term infrastructure strategy. To stay aligned with enterprise goals, healthcare organizations must select an AWS Partner with the NextGen hosting expertise to integrate cloud adoption seamlessly into their strategic roadmap. The Med Tech Solutions team can guide your organization to evaluate technical debt, review existing customizations, and identify opportunities to standardize and strengthen the environment. With a proactive approach, healthcare organizations gain time to align the transition with upgrades, staffing cycles, and security improvements. A partnership with MTS ensures the move to NextGen AWS becomes a strategic opportunity rather than a forced deadline-driven project. 
  3. Reduce operational disruption and protect clinical continuity.
    For IT leaders, downtime and workflow disruption are top concerns. Delayed or compressed migrations increase the risk of incidents that affect clinicians and patients. Healthcare organizations that wait until the NG 2028 deadline may face heightened pressure, limited scheduling flexibility, and fewer opportunities for thorough testing.MTS mitigates these risks through a migration process built around operational stability. Our team focuses on data integrity, environment validation, and structured go-live timing that minimizes impact on clinical operations. Because MTS understands the intricacies of hosting and supporting NextGen, the transition is handled with precision and consistency. With MTS handling technical and operational complexities, IT teams gain time to test, train, and communicate effectively, ensuring a smooth and predictable transition.
  4. Ensure long-term stability beyond the migration.
    The move to NextGen on AWS is not complete at go-live. The environment must be monitored, secured, optimized, and continually supported. Healthcare organizations must choose a transition and hosting partner with a proven track record of managing NextGen environments in production, not just executing one-off projects.MTS delivers ongoing managed services that reinforce stability long after the migration is finished. We continuously monitor performance, strengthen security, manage updates, and support the environment with healthcare-specific expertise. Continuing a long-term partnership post migration elevates reliability, reduces operational load on internal teams, and ensures the organization remains prepared for future enhancements and industry changes.

Ultimately, a NextGen system hosting decision is less about a deadline and more about positioning your healthcare organization and its invaluable data for stability, security, and growth in the years ahead. With Med Tech Solutions, healthcare IT teams can navigate the full NextGen AWS migration lifecycle — from assessment and timeline development to execution, hosting, and optimization.
