CIO - that’s a title a lot of medical practices don’t have the resources for. So they rely on piecing together a workable technology system into their practice.

They rely on their own knowledge for selecting useful office systems. They send office managers to training for security and production.

IT is one of the fastest growing industries in the world. It’s everywhere. It’s in every profession, every niche, no matter how large or small. It’s necessary for hospitals. It’s necessary for single practitioners trying to operate a one-doctor practice.

Have you ever stopped to think about how many vendor contracts and service agreements you’ve accepted in the past year?

If you use Google, you agree to their terms. Facebook and Twitter too. Any time you’ve created a profile online, you click a little box saying you agree.

Every once in a while, isn’t it nice to get things for free?

Of course, you have to question whether “free” is worth it. Is it high quality? Does it add value? Will it help you get the job done in the most efficient way?

Luckily, Google’s free tools offer all of that and more.

Are you operating your practice using hybrid cloud services? That’s the most effective way to use technology and stay competitive in today’s marketplace. 

Hybrid cloud environments give businesses a little bit of everything needed for success. Worried about security? Hybrid cloud services offer privacy and security on the same level as a private cloud.

Are you one of the many practices that have decided that having a CIO on staff doesn’t make sense? Maybe it’s because:

It’s too expensive.
It slows down innovation.
They’ll just get in the way. 

What about the risk you’re putting your business in by not having one? 

What if there was a way to get the benefits of having a full-time technology officer on staff, without building a new position into your corporate structure? 

Fractional CIO might be your answer.

Looking for ways to make your business operate more efficiently, without taking on new staff? IT help desk services may be the perfect solution. Hiring out your help desk provides you with a single point of contact to help resolve all of your technological needs.

Imagine a world where everything needed to help patients lead better lives can be printed right there in your office. With a 3D printer and a little ingenuity, the concept of “normal procedures” could be morphed into something new. 

We’re using bioprinters to create artificial living tissue, printing patient-specific organ replicas to allow surgeons to practice before operating on the real thing, and creating custom-made prosthetics that lower the price and make them available at price points more patients can manage.

Wouldn’t it be nice if we could go a full year without a breach in security throughout the medical industry? 

We all know that’s not possible.

In 2018, phishing attacks in Minnesota compromised 21,000 records, 75,000 records were breached in a federal ACA portal, 3 hospitals were fined $1 million for HIPAA violations - and it doesn’t stop there.

Just when you were getting used to placing your thumb or finger on the tiny button of your phone to login, mobile technology is changing once again. With the latest devices, they won’t unlock without facial recognition. 

If this kind of technology is available on something as common as our mobile devices, it’s only natural that we would integrate it into more sophisticated security practices.
