FAQ

Healthcare IT Questions

What makes healthcare IT different from regular managed IT?

Healthcare IT must satisfy HIPAA Security Rule requirements, support zero-downtime clinical environments, integrate with complex EHR ecosystems, and handle life-and-death urgency for support requests. Generic IT providers lack this specialized knowledge.

What EHR platforms do you support?

We support Allscripts, eClinicalWorks, athenahealth, Kareo, Medicfusion, and dozens of other platforms. We handle installation, configuration, upgrades, troubleshooting, and integration with lab, imaging, and billing systems.

How do you ensure HIPAA compliance?

Compliance is the foundation of every IT decision, not a line item. We implement administrative, physical, and technical safeguards per the Security Rule, conduct risk assessments, manage BAAs, and provide compliance documentation through ComplianceArmor. See our HIPAA security guide.

Can you support multiple locations?

Yes. We design and manage multi-site healthcare networks with centralized monitoring, consistent security policies, and site-to-site connectivity. Our remote management capabilities support locations nationwide.

What does onboarding look like?

We start with a HIPAA risk assessment, design target-state architecture, execute phased migration during off-hours, train clinical staff, and transition to 24/7 managed services. Patient care continues uninterrupted throughout.

How much do healthcare IT services cost?

Healthcare managed IT typically runs $150 to $400 per user per month depending on practice size, EHR complexity, and security requirements. Compare that to the $9.77 million average healthcare breach cost. The investment case is clear.
