Overview

What this migration involves

Teams migrate from Zedmed to monday CRM when they need CRM-level relationship tracking, pipeline visibility, and quoting capabilities that Zedmed's practice-management model does not provide — or when consolidating onto a unified Work OS for both clinical administration and sales/referral pipeline management. The migration carries patient records, appointment histories, provider contacts, and billing/invoice data into monday CRM's flexible board structure. Each Zedmed entity maps to a Monday CRM object: patients become contacts, appointments become events, insurance providers become accounts, and invoice records become deals with payment status preserved as the deal stage. Custom fields — Patient ID, Medicare Number, IHI, provider type — map into Monday's custom columns using type-aware transformations. Zedmed workflows and automation triggers do not transfer; they must be rebuilt as Monday recipes. FlitStack AI sequences the migration so foreign keys resolve correctly (insurance providers before patients, patients before appointments) and runs a sample migration with field-level diff before the full cutover commits.

What's pushing teams away

  • Browser-based cloud interface introduces friction — copy-paste restrictions, PDF printing requiring specific Chrome settings, and session timeouts disrupt clinical workflows.
  • Steep learning curve with limited training, particularly around billing setup, KPI monitoring, and customising the clinical layout to individual practitioner preferences.
  • No publicly documented API — all data extraction for migration requires engaging Zedmed support directly for database-level access, adding time and complexity to any switch.
  • Outdated interface and limited customisation options compared to newer medical platforms, leading practices seeking a more modern user experience to evaluate alternatives.
  • SMS functionality in v39 is restricted to ZedSMS only, forcing practices on legacy messaging providers to change vendor at upgrade time.

Choosing

What's pulling them in

  • Users praise the board-based visual interface for making pipeline stages immediately legible to non-technical team members without CRM training.
  • The no-code automation builder lets sales ops teams create lead routing, stage updates, and email triggers without developer involvement.
  • Integration ecosystem connects to Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration, reducing friction for teams already using these tools.
  • The flexible column system lets teams build custom CRM views — deal value, close date, lead source — without needing a developer or pre-defined schema.
  • Teams already using monday Work Management can layer CRM features onto existing boards rather than starting from scratch.

Object mapping

How Zedmed objects map to monday CRM

Each row shows how a Zedmed object lands in monday CRM, including any object-level transformations, lookup resolution, or schema-design dependencies.

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

Zedmed

Patient

maps to

monday CRM

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Each Zedmed patient becomes a monday CRM contact. The patient's full name splits into FirstName and LastName; birth date, gender, address, phone, and email map directly. The original Zedmed Patient ID is stored as Source_Patient_ID__c for traceability. Multi-location patients land in the workspace under the board representing their primary clinic.

Zedmed

Appointment

maps to

monday CRM

Event

1:1
Fully supported

Zedmed appointments map to monday CRM events with the original appointment date and time preserved in Start Date/Time and End Date/Time. Appointment status (confirmed, cancelled, no-show) maps to a custom Status column on the event. The appointment type (standard, long, procedure) is stored as a custom Appointment_Type column.

Zedmed

Provider

maps to

monday CRM

Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Each Zedmed provider (GP, specialist, allied health) becomes a monday CRM contact. The provider's business name maps to the contact's Company Name; the provider type (GP, Specialist, Allied Health) maps to a custom Provider_Type column as a label. Referring provider relationships are preserved as Contact-to-Contact links or tags on the referred patient contact.

Zedmed

Invoice / Billing Record

maps to

monday CRM

Deal

1:1
Fully supported

Each Zedmed invoice or billing record becomes a monday CRM deal. The invoice number maps to Deal Name; the total billed amount maps to the deal Amount field. Payment status (paid, unpaid, partial, refunded) maps to deal StageName using a value-mapping: Paid → Won, Unpaid → Lost (with a note), Partial → Negotiation. Medicare/insurance component is stored as a custom text field.

Zedmed

Insurance Provider

maps to

monday CRM

Account

1:1
Fully supported

Health funds, Medicare, DVA, WorkCover, and TAC entities from Zedmed map to monday CRM accounts. The payer name maps to Account Name; the provider number (where present) maps to a custom Provider_Number__c column. This enables deal-level reporting by funding source in monday CRM's board views.

Zedmed

Referral Source

maps to

monday CRM

Custom Field on Contact

1:1
Fully supported

Zedmed referral source data — referring practitioner name and referring organisation — is stored as custom text columns (Referral_Source_Name__c and Referral_Source_Organisation__c) on the patient contact record. Referral tracking enables monday CRM pipeline reporting by referral origin.

Zedmed

Attachment / File

maps to

monday CRM

monday CRM Files

1:1
Fully supported

File attachments associated with Zedmed patient records (consent forms, referrals, clinical documents) are downloaded and re-uploaded to the corresponding monday CRM contact as Files, with the original filename preserved. Monday's file storage limits apply per plan.

Pair-specific challenges

  • Monday CRM column type restrictions affect healthcare identifier fields

    Monday CRM supports 20+ column types but has no native field for Australian healthcare identifiers. Medicare Numbers (10 digits with ref digit), IHI numbers (16 digits), and provider numbers must be stored in custom text columns. This means Medicare Number cannot use Monday's built-in number validation or formatting masks. We note the column type limitation in the migration plan and add field-description guidance so users understand the field is a healthcare identifier. Long clinical notes, pathology results, and e-prescription data similarly have no native Monday column type and require a custom long-text workaround or archived file reference.

  • API rate limits constrain bulk import speed on lower-tier Monday plans

    Monday CRM's API has per-plan daily call limits: Free/Trial 200, Basic/Standard 1,000, Pro 10,000, Enterprise 25,000 calls/day. A Zedmed practice with 10,000+ patient records, appointments, and billing items can exceed the Standard plan limit during a full migration load. We batch imports to stay within the per-minute concurrency limit (40 for Standard, 100 for Pro) and recommend Enterprise for large record sets. The migration uses Monday's bulk create/update endpoints where available to reduce individual call count.

  • Clinical notes and e-prescription data have no direct Monday CRM equivalent

    Zedmed stores clinical encounter notes, e-prescriptions, pathology results, and chronic disease management data as structured clinical fields. Monday CRM has no clinical note or prescription column type. We migrate these as custom long-text columns on the patient contact record, but the original clinical formatting and clinical-system context do not transfer. Practices requiring full clinical history retention should archive Zedmed records separately and link them by Source_Patient_ID__c rather than relying on Monday for clinical documentation.

  • Monday automations (recipes) must be rebuilt — Zedmed workflows do not transfer

    Zedmed workflow rules tied to appointment reminders, billing triggers, and clinical alerts are defined in Zedmed's own automation engine and have no compatibility with Monday's recipe-based automations. Appointment reminder sequences, billing status change triggers, and clinical task assignments must be rebuilt as Monday recipes after migration. We export Zedmed workflow definitions as a text reference so your team can rebuild them in Monday's Automation Centre.

Migration approach

Six steps for a successful Zedmed to monday CRM data migration

  1. Extract and profile Zedmed data

    FlitStack AI connects to Zedmed via API or SFTP export (cloud or on-premise) to pull patient records, appointment histories, provider contacts, insurance provider lists, and billing/invoice data. We profile the export for field completeness, duplicate rates, and multi-location grouping before mapping begins. Any stale records or duplicates are flagged for your team to review.

  2. Design Monday CRM board structure and custom columns

    Based on the Zedmed data profile, we design Monday CRM boards — typically a Contacts board for patients and providers, a Deals board for invoices and billing, and an Activities board for appointments. Custom columns (Medicare_Number__c, IHI_Number__c, Provider_Type__c, Appointment_Status__c, Payment_Status__c) are pre-created in Monday before data lands so field mapping can reference live column IDs.

  3. Map and validate field transformations

    Every Zedmed field is mapped to a Monday CRM field or custom column with type-aware transformation notes. Healthcare identifiers (Medicare, IHI, provider numbers) use custom text columns. Payment status maps to deal StageName via a defined value-mapping table. We run a schema validation pass to confirm all required Monday columns exist and all required fields are mapped before any data is written.

  4. Run sample migration with field-level diff

    A representative slice of records — typically 100–500 covering patients, appointments, providers, and billing items across multiple locations — migrates first. We generate a field-level diff comparing source values to the Monday CRM records so you can verify appointment dates, Medicare number formatting, payment status mapping, and account resolution before the full run commits.

  5. Full migration with delta pickup and audit log

    The full Zedmed dataset migrates into Monday CRM with accounts and contacts created before deals (foreign key resolution order). A delta-pickup window (24–48 hours) captures any records created or modified in Zedmed between the initial export and the Monday go-live. Every operation is logged in an audit trail, and one-click rollback is available if reconciliation fails.

Strengths

  • Integrated Medicare, DVA, WorkCover, and health fund claiming with Tyro EFTPOS and MA Online directly in the billing workflow.
  • Dual deployment — Zedmed Cloud handles server maintenance and security; Zedmed On-premise gives full server control for practices preferring it.
  • Comprehensive clinical module covering e-prescribing, pathology results, referrals, chronic disease management, and drawing on images within one system.
  • Per-user pricing with discounted rates for part-time and admin staff, plus a free Doctor's App on iOS for practitioners.
  • Multi-location functionality allows single-app management across multiple clinic sites with separate or shared configurations.

Weaknesses

  • No publicly documented API — all data extraction for migration requires direct engagement with Zedmed support for database-level access.
  • Browser-based cloud interface introduces workflow friction: 2FA requires phone fallback, copy-paste and PDF printing need specific browser settings.
  • Interface is perceived as dated compared to newer medical platforms; limited customisation options for UI and workflow adaptation.
  • Upgrade paths introduce breaking changes — v39 deprecates legacy SMS providers in favour of ZedSMS only, forcing provider changes at migration time.
  • Limited third-party integrations beyond HealthLink, Tyro, and HL7 messaging — no modern REST API for EHR or analytics integrations.

Strengths

  • Board-based UI makes pipeline stages and deal progress visually obvious without training.
  • No-code automation builder requires no developer resources to create lead routing and stage-triggered actions.
  • Flexible column system supports custom CRM fields without schema changes or admin involvement.
  • Integrates natively with Slack, Gmail, Outlook, and Zapier with minimal configuration overhead.
  • Layered product means teams already on monday Work Management can add CRM without migrating existing data.

Weaknesses

  • No native Contacts object separate from Items — contacts are managed inside a CRM module's People feature.
  • Pipeline and deal relationships use a flat item model rather than a relational object model, making complex CRM associations awkward.
  • Automations are plan-gated (250 actions/month on Standard, 25,000 on Pro) and the legacy Recipe system is being deprecated.
  • Customization and advanced views (Chart, Formula, Dependency) are locked behind Pro and Enterprise tiers.
  • Per-seat pricing with non-refundable annual billing creates cost lock-in risk during migration.

Most Zedmed to Monday CRM migrations complete in 3–5 days of clock time for practices with under 10,000 patient records and standard field mapping. Larger datasets exceeding 10,000 patients, or setups with multi-location board structures and billing record mapping, extend to 10–14 days. Mapping Medicare numbers, IHI numbers, and provider types to Monday custom columns adds planning time but does not materially extend the technical run window.
