Moving from Veradigm EHR to Weft

Migrating from Veradigm EHR: what its EHI export produces, and how to import clients, diagnoses and questionnaire results into Weft from a JSON file.

Who this is for: Practice administrator

Veradigm EHR has an Electronic Health Information export tool that packages each client's chart. Weft reads clients, diagnoses and questionnaire results for this system from one JSON file.

What Veradigm's export produces

Veradigm publishes the layout of what its EHI Export tool produces but not the steps to run it in the product, so ask your Veradigm EHR administrator or Veradigm support to run the export for you.

Note: The export is a ZIP file that is protected with a password the practice chooses. Inside it is one ZIP file per client chart. Each holds four folders: Attachments (images, voice notes, PDFs and Office files), Scanned Documents (.tif files), Transcriptions (.rtf files) and Discrete Data, the only folder of JSON files. Unzipping the outer file needs a tool that supports passwords, such as 7-Zip, rather than the built-in Windows extractor.

Note: Checked on 28 October 2026 against Veradigm's "EHI Export Data Guide" (published 9 November 2023, for Veradigm EHR 23.4 and higher).

What to send us, and how to upload it

Weft reads Veradigm EHR from one JSON file of up to 25 MB, with one entry per client holding their demographics, problems and questionnaires. The per client ZIP files are not read as they are. Contact Weft at support@weftary.com with your export before you upload.

  1. Select Settings, then Import records.
  2. Under Source, choose Veradigm EHR. Under it, How to export from Veradigm EHR opens this guide again whenever you need it.
  3. Select Choose file and pick the JSON file. Weft checks the type and size before anything is sent.
  4. Select Upload this export. The export appears under Import history while it is read.

What comes across and what does not

Clients arrive with a name and date of birth, diagnoses with their code, description and onset date, and questionnaire results as assessments with their answers and the day of the visit.

Important: Scanned documents are listed in the preview but never brought in, because Weft has nowhere to hold them as part of the import. Notes, attachments, medications, labs, billing and messages stay in your export, so keep it as your own copy.

Check it afterwards

  1. Open the export from Import history. What was found counts what was read, by kind of record.
  2. If there are rows under Still to answer, answer each one: open the client Weft thinks it is, or choose Bring in as a new client.
  3. Read Records this practice's record would not take. Each row says why it was refused, and the rest of the export is unaffected.
  4. When the counts look right, select Bring this export in. Nothing is written to your records until you do.

Common questions

What if Weft refuses the file?

The screen tells you why and nothing is saved. A file of the wrong type or over the size limit is refused before it is sent. A file that is not the export for the system you chose is refused after it is sent, so check that Source matches the file, then upload again.

Can I import a second file from Veradigm EHR?

Yes. Clients are recognised by their Veradigm client number rather than duplicated.
