Overview

What this migration involves

Advance Practice Management Suite organizes patient data in a unified medical-record structure: patient demographics, insurance plans with N:N family-member sharing, appointment records with provider and type metadata, billing invoices with ICD/CPT codes, and medical-history entities for allergies, conditions, medications, and immunizations. Dynamics 365 Sales operates on the Dataverse (Common Data Model) with standard CRM objects — Account, Contact, Lead, Opportunity, Task — and custom tables for anything outside the base schema. FlitStack AI extracts patient records via the AdvancedMD API, transforms each entity into Dataverse-compatible records, creates the required custom tables (Insurance, Appointment, Invoice, MedicalHistory) with all necessary fields, and loads them in dependency order so foreign keys resolve correctly. We preserve every original identifier, encounter date, provider name, and diagnosis code as custom fields. Workflows, automation rules, templates, and reporting dashboards do not migrate — AdvancedMD's scheduling reminders, insurance-verification sequences, and billing alerts must be rebuilt in Power Automate and Power BI respectively, for which we deliver a rebuild-reference export.

Typical mapping — final map is confirmed during the sample migration step.

Advance Practice Management Suite

Patient

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD Patient records map to Dynamics 365 Contact records. Name, date of birth, gender, SSN, address, phone, and email transfer as direct field mappings. The original PatientID stores as a custom SourcePatientID__c field for traceability and delta-run de-duplication. Each contact must receive a Dataverse OwnerId before insert.

Advance Practice Management Suite

Insurance Plan

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Insurance Table + Contact

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD Insurance is a top-level entity with N:N family-member links. Dynamics 365 has no native insurance entity. FlitStack creates a custom InsurancePlan Dataverse table and a custom ContactInsurance junction table to preserve the N:N relationship — each family member links to the same plan record without duplicating coverage data.

Advance Practice Management Suite

Appointment

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Appointment Table

1:1
Fully supported

Dynamics 365 Sales has no native appointment entity; the standard Activity table does not capture appointment type, assigned provider, or location in a way that matches healthcare scheduling. FlitStack creates a custom Appointment Dataverse table with a custom picklist for appointment type, a custom picklist for status, and text fields for provider and location names. The Contact lookup links each appointment to the patient.

Advance Practice Management Suite

Billing Invoice

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Invoice Table

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD stores full invoice records with ICD-10 diagnosis codes, CPT procedure codes, adjustments, and payment history. Dynamics 365 Sales has no native billing module. FlitStack creates a custom Invoice Dataverse table with currency fields for amounts, text fields for diagnosis and procedure codes, and a custom picklist for invoice status (Pending, Paid, Partially Paid, Written Off).

Advance Practice Management Suite

Allergy

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Allergy Table

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD Allergies are a separate entity per patient (one-to-many). Dynamics 365 has no native allergy record. FlitStack creates a custom Allergy Dataverse table with a Contact lookup, text fields for allergy name, a custom picklist for severity (Mild, Moderate, Severe), a custom picklist for reaction type, and a date field for onset date.

Advance Practice Management Suite

Condition

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Condition Table

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD Conditions (diagnoses, chronic conditions) store as separate records per patient. FlitStack creates a custom Condition Dataverse table with a Contact lookup, text fields for condition name and ICD code, a custom picklist for status (Active, Chronic, Resolved), and date fields for diagnosis date and resolved date.

Advance Practice Management Suite

Medication

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Medication Table

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD Medications are tracked per patient with dosage, frequency, and prescribing provider. FlitStack creates a custom Medication Dataverse table with a Contact lookup, text fields for medication name, dosage, frequency, and prescribing provider, date fields for start and end dates, and a custom picklist for current status (Active, Discontinued, On Hold).

Advance Practice Management Suite

Immunization

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

Custom Immunization Table

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD Immunization records include vaccine name, lot number, administrator, and next-dose date. FlitStack creates a custom Immunization Dataverse table with a Contact lookup, text fields for vaccine name, lot number, and administrator, a date field for administration date, a date field for next dose, and a text notes field.

Advance Practice Management Suite

Workflow / Automation Rule

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

N/A — Not Migrated

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD scheduling reminders, insurance-verification sequences, and billing alerts do not have a direct equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales. These must be rebuilt in Power Automate. FlitStack exports AdvancedMD workflow definitions as a reference document so your Dynamics admin can reconstruct the logic step-by-step in the Power Platform.

Advance Practice Management Suite

Report / Dashboard

maps to

Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales

N/A — Not Migrated

1:1
Fully supported

AdvancedMD built-in practice management reports for scheduling utilization, billing collections, and provider productivity do not transfer to Dynamics 365. The underlying data migrates fully, but report definitions and dashboard layouts must be rebuilt in Power BI using the migrated Dataverse tables as data sources.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Dynamics 365 Sales has no native healthcare data model — all patient extensions require custom Dataverse tables

    Advance Practice Management Suite structures patient data as a unified healthcare record: insurance, allergies, conditions, medications, and immunizations are all first-class entities. Dynamics 365 Sales targets sales teams, not clinical practices, so it has no native equivalent for any of these data types. Every patient extension must be built as a custom Dataverse table before migration data can land. FlitStack creates the schema upfront and delivers a setup checklist so your Dynamics admin can configure Field-Level Security for HIPAA-relevant fields before the load runs.

  • Appointment metadata does not map to standard Dynamics 365 Activity fields

    AdvancedMD stores appointments with appointment-type, assigned provider, location, and clinical-status fields. Dynamics 365's standard Task and Appointment activities use a generic subject/date/owner model with no appointment-type field and no structured location field. FlitStack creates a custom Appointment Dataverse table with a custom picklist for appointment type and text fields for provider and location, preserving the full scheduling context. Standard Dynamics activities are not used for clinical appointments. This ensures that appointment type, provider, and location information remain searchable and reportable in Dynamics reports and Power BI dashboards.

  • Insurance N:N family-member relationships require a custom junction table in Dataverse

    Advance Practice Management Suite supports N:N insurance relationships — multiple family members linked to a single insurance plan record. Dynamics 365 supports only 1:N relationships natively between Contact and a custom InsurancePlan table. FlitStack resolves this by creating a custom ContactInsurance junction table that links each family member Contact to the shared InsurancePlan record, preserving the AdvancedMD coverage relationship without duplicating plan data across contacts. The junction table also stores the subscriber relationship and coverage effective dates, allowing billing workflows to retrieve insurance details directly from the linked Contact record.

  • Workflows and automation sequences cannot be migrated — must be rebuilt in Power Automate

    Advance Practice Management Suite scheduling reminders, insurance-verification workflows, patient-outreach sequences, and billing alerts are built within the AdvancedMD automation engine and have no structural equivalent in Dynamics 365 Sales. They do not migrate. FlitStack extracts AdvancedMD workflow definitions as a structured export so your Power Platform admin has a rebuild reference. This is always disclosed upfront; the workflow gap is not a migration surprise. Your team should plan for the time required to rebuild each sequence in Power Automate, using the exported definitions as a step‑by‑step guide.

  • AdvancedMD billing records lack a direct Dynamics 365 invoice-status equivalent

    Advance Practice Management Suite tracks invoice lifecycle status (Pending, Submitted to Insurance, Partially Paid, Paid in Full, Written Off) with detailed adjustment and payment history per claim. Dynamics 365 Sales has no native billing or claims module; the Invoice status pick-list values are generic. FlitStack creates a custom InvoiceStatus__c pick-list field on the Invoice custom table with AdvancedMD-specific status values, mapping each original status to a corresponding value that your billing team can recognise and act on.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Advance Practice Management Suite to Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales data migration

  1. Audit AdvancedMD data model and document workflow definitions

    FlitStack reads your AdvancedMD export to enumerate all patient records, insurance plans, appointments, billing invoices, and medical-history entries. We identify every custom field in use, document the N:N insurance relationship structure, and capture workflow definitions as a Power Automate rebuild reference. This audit produces a migration plan that lists every Dataverse custom table and field we will create, the pick-list values required, and the relationship topology before any schema is touched.

  2. Stand up custom Dataverse tables and configure HIPAA security

    Before data moves, FlitStack creates the InsurancePlan, Appointment, Invoice, Allergy, Condition, Medication, and Immunization custom Dataverse tables in your Dynamics 365 environment, along with the ContactInsurance junction table. Field-Level Security is configured on SSN__c and any other PHI fields; a Dataverse audit log is enabled. Your Dynamics admin reviews and approves the schema before we proceed to extraction. Each table includes the required custom fields, pick‑lists, and relationships as defined in the migration plan. The schema also defines the appropriate ownership model so that patient records are assigned to the correct user or team in Dynamics.

  3. Export, cleanse, and sequence AdvancedMD data

    Patient records are extracted via the AdvancedMD API with pagination to handle rate limits. Insurance plans are extracted as independent records. Appointments and billing invoices are linked to their parent Patient record. We clean addresses and validate date formats, then sequence the load: InsurancePlan first, then Patient records, then related Appointment, Invoice, and MedicalHistory records so foreign-key lookups resolve on insert.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice — typically 200–500 patient records spanning multiple insurance plans, appointments, and billing histories — migrates first. FlitStack generates a field-level diff report comparing source values against destination field contents so you can verify appointment-type mapping, insurance relationship resolution, and ICD/CPT code preservation before the full run commits. Any mapping errors are corrected in this phase. This pilot run also validates that the ContactInsurance junction table correctly links family members and that the custom pick‑list values match the source data, preventing downstream data integrity issues.

  5. Cut over with delta-pickup and Power Automate workflow rebuild

    The full migration runs against your Dynamics 365 environment during a low-activity window. A 24–48 hour delta-pickup window captures any AdvancedMD records created or modified during cutover. DNS and user-access routing switch to Dynamics 365. FlitStack delivers the AdvancedMD workflow-export package; your Power Platform admin begins the Power Automate rebuild using the exported definitions as a step-by-step reference. An audit log and rollback script are available if reconciliation uncovers discrepancies.
