IT Services for Healthcare
If you are an independent healthcare practice in the Metro Detroit, Grand Rapids, or the surrounding areas and want to turn technology into a resource that can move your practice forward instead of being a problem that costs you time, money, and stress, then we can help!
Expert HIPAA Compliant IT Services
We understand HIPAA compliance. We maintain our own annual HIPAA Compliance Certification and have assisted with more Security Risk Analysis reports than we can count for our healthcare practice clients. Beyond the annual reports though, we provide technical tools and training to help you stay compliant and your data safe and secure as rules and technology change.
IT Support for Healthcare: Our History and Specialty
Supporting Healthcare Practices is our History and one of our Specialties. Our very first clients in 1991 were healthcare practices. We have built upon that base and the healthcare field has become one of our areas of expertise. We are associate members of the Michigan MGMA and our focus is on knowing the needs of healthcare practices inside and out so we can provide industry-leading support.
We typically support independent clinics or practices from 2 to 20 providers that rely on their computers, servers, local network, VoIP telephones, and Internet for their daily operation and to provide patient care and store protected health information. These providers typically utilize their technology for their practice management/EMR/EHR system as well as email, scheduling, billing, Microsoft Office/Google applications and remote access. Our existing client practices span over a wide variety of healthcare specialties and the vendors and business associates who support the healthcare industry.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Healthcare IT Support
How can you help ensure our practice is HIPAA compliant?
We provide ongoing HIPAA compliance consulting designed for medical offices. This includes technical network assessments, security risk assessments, documentation of safeguards, staff training on privacy and security rules, and continuous monitoring of systems that store or transmit protected health information (PHI). Our process ensures your IT environment meets HIPAA requirements year-round, helping you avoid costly violations.
How do you protect our healthcare practice data?
We use encrypted backups stored onsite and in secure offsite locations. Backups are tested daily with the ability for restore drills to verify integrity. This ensures patient records, billing information, and other critical data can be recovered quickly in the event of accidental deletion, hardware failure, or cyberattack.
What cybersecurity protection do you offer healthcare organizations?
Our healthcare-specific cybersecurity package includes advanced endpoint detection and response (EDR), managed detection and response (MDR), 24/7 network monitoring, phishing prevention training for staff, and multi-factor authentication (MFA) across all systems. These measures address threats such as ransomware targeting EMR/EHR systems and phishing attempts aimed at accessing patient data.
Can you help us enable secure remote work for our staff?
Yes. We configure HIPAA-compliant remote access solutions that allow physicians, nurses, and administrative staff to securely connect to your EMR/EHR and other systems from home or while traveling. This includes VPN setup, MFA, device encryption, and policies that prevent unauthorized access or data leakage.
How can you improve our practice's technology reliability?
We proactively maintain and upgrade your network infrastructure, workstations, and servers to minimize downtime. This includes patch management, hardware lifecycle planning, and monitoring for early signs of failure—ensuring smoother patient check-ins, uninterrupted charting, and reliable billing processes.
What happens if there is a cyberattack after hours?
Our 24/7 security operations center (SOC) monitors your systems continuously. If a breach or suspicious activity occurs outside regular office hours, our SOC team responds immediately—isolating affected systems, stopping the attack, and beginning recovery procedures. Healthcare operates around the clock, and so do we.
