Why Managed IT Services for Healthcare ?
Some of our first clients were healthcare professionals and over the years we have mastered the support and solutions implementation for this industry. We know that choosing a niche market will always give us the advantage over our competitors.
We provide an all in one practice solution.
Over the years we have tailor-made a solution for healthcare professionals that gives them peace of mind over IT Support, Security, Data Backups and also complying to HPCSA and POPIA regulations.
Employees who view, share or steal patient information is a common POPIA violation.
Theft of patient health information through a data breach, malware attack, ransomware or data theft of any kind that contain private patient information. In 2017, over 2.6 million individuals were potentially impacted by data breaches involving healthcare providers, according to the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), an organization in the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services; therefore, safeguards should be put into place such as staff training, data encryption, and record archiving.
Receptionist receives an email that seems its coming from the IT Company. The email urgently asks the receptionist just to confirm her username and password using a link. The result: Her account is hacked and all patient information is compromised.
The healthcare professional fixes common IT issues themselves or they ask the local computer repair shop to handle” IT issues, however none of these people are informed, trained or experienced enough to understand the cyber security needs and compliance regulations that the Healthcare industry should comply to. In most events, we come across an IT environment that was setup by a local computer repair shop or by someone with “some” computer knowledge and then there is a complete lack of security and compliance solutions.
