Protect Patient Care With Managed IT Services for Healthcare
Expert Management for the Technology Behind Your Independent Practice
IT problems in a healthcare environment can affect much more than office productivity. Patient information needs to remain protected, while the systems used for scheduling, records, communication, and day-to-day care must always be available.
Kansas City Managed IT helps practices manage users, devices, networks, servers, backups, security, and other IT solutions for healthcare so your team can focus more of its attention on caring for patients.
Common Healthcare IT Challenges
Kansas City Managed IT provides a single accountable point-of-contact for ongoing IT management, scaled to your business size and dedicated to protecting sensitive information, maintaining system availability, and more.
When the Practice Relies on Aging IT
A small family or specialty practice relies on an aging server, older workstations, and a backup process. This technology may be tied to scheduling, billing, patient records, shared files, and other systems employees need throughout the day.
Without an internal IT department, the office manager or practice owner is responsible for finding help whenever tech fails. If a server, workstation, or network problem interrupts access to essential systems, employees can quickly find themselves trying to care for patients without the technology they normally depend on.
Kansas City Managed IT can help strengthen the practice’s technology environment with:
- Proactive monitoring of servers, workstations, and other critical systems
- Managed backups and recovery planning
- Server and infrastructure maintenance
- Microsoft 365 configuration and management
- Security protections across users, devices, email, and networks
- Hardware lifecycle planning before aging equipment becomes an emergency
- Ongoing Managed IT support for everyday technology needs
The practice now has a more reliable IT environment, greater visibility into aging technology, and a defined plan for protecting and recovering the systems and information employees depend on.
When a Growing Practice Opens Another Location
A successful healthcare practice opening a second office suddenly has more to consider than computers and internet service.
Employees may need secure access to the same applications and patient information from either location. New workstations, phones, printers, wireless networks, and other technology need to be configured. The practice also has to consider how both locations connect without creating unnecessary security risks or leaving each office with a completely different IT setup.
For a practice without a full internal IT department, coordinating all of those pieces can become another major project without the resources to complete it.
Kansas City Managed IT can help plan and implement the IT behind a new location, including:
- Network and connectivity planning
- Structured cabling and network infrastructure
- Workstation and device setup
- Microsoft 365 and employee account configuration
- Secure access to shared business systems
- Network and wireless security
- Phone and communications infrastructure
- Backup and recovery planning across the environment
- Ongoing IT management across multiple locations
Both offices operate within a more consistent technology environment, giving employees secure access to the systems they need while the practice gains one IT partner for its locations, users, networks, and ongoing technology needs.
Practices Stuck Between Technology Vendors
A medical, dental, optometry, or other specialty practice may depend on several different technology providers at once. One company supplies the practice software, another provides internet service, another installed the network equipment, and someone else may handle computers.
When something slows down or stops working, each provider may only be able to evaluate its own piece of the environment. The office manager is left coordinating calls and trying to determine whether the problem belongs to the software vendor, internet provider, network, workstation, or another system.
Meanwhile, employees are waiting for the problem to be resolved so they can get back to scheduling, documentation, billing, and patient care.
Kansas City Managed IT can provide broader oversight of the IT environment and help coordinate the different technology involved through:
- Troubleshooting across users, devices, networks, servers, and connectivity
- Network and infrastructure monitoring
- Application and software-vendor coordination
- Device and system performance monitoring
- Documentation of the technology environment
- Targeted recommendations based on the source of recurring issues
- One IT relationship for ongoing support and technology management
Practice employees get one IT team for technology problems, reducing the burden on office staff to determine which vendor should be responsible and helping recurring issues receive broader attention.
