MI.NET - John Sly - Bridging Legacy Apps & Modern Data in Healthcare

Agenda

Abstract
Many healthcare organizations live in a world of hybrid systems: half modern APIs, half legacy apps. Instead of replacing everything, what if you could connect and structure the data you already have?

This session explores how to unify siloed systems through smart metadata, semantic layers, and dependency-driven queries. You’ll learn strategies to evolve existing systems gradually—without downtime or total rewrites.
