FAQ

Healthcare IT Questions

What HIPAA requirements apply to IT infrastructure?

The HIPAA Security Rule requires technical safeguards (access controls, encryption, audit logging), administrative safeguards (risk assessments, workforce training, incident response), and physical safeguards (facility access, workstation security). Your managed IT provider should address all three. Learn more about HIPAA compliance.

How much do managed IT services for healthcare cost?

For small to mid-sized practices (5 to 50 users), typically $150 to $300 per user per month, including monitoring, help desk, security, backup, and compliance documentation. Larger organizations with complex EHR environments may range from $200 to $400 per user.

What EHR systems do you support?

We support Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, Practice Fusion, NextGen Healthcare, and Greenway Health. Our support covers server infrastructure, database performance, network optimization, workstation configuration, and ancillary system integration.

Do you provide a Business Associate Agreement?

Yes. We execute a BAA with every healthcare client before accessing any ePHI. We also help you evaluate whether your other technology vendors have proper BAAs in place and whether their security practices match their contractual commitments.

What happens during a ransomware attack?

Our incident response team immediately isolates affected systems, assesses scope and data exfiltration, initiates recovery from clean backups, coordinates with law enforcement, assists with HIPAA breach notification if required, and conducts post-incident review.

How do you handle medical device security?

We inventory all connected devices, implement network segmentation on dedicated VLANs, deploy anomalous behavior monitoring, and coordinate with manufacturers for security updates. For end-of-life devices, we implement compensating controls including application whitelisting.
