Most IT providers say they can handle healthcare IT. They talk about HIPAA compliance, cybersecurity, and keeping systems running. But when medical practices rely on technology for patient care, those generic promises don’t always hold up.
Healthcare IT isn’t just about fixing computers—it’s about creating an environment where doctors, nurses, and staff can do their jobs without technology slowing them down. That’s where HealthSafeIT by Stringfellow is different.
A Major Problem With Traditional MSPs
A traditional Managed Service Provider (MSP) works across multiple industries—law firms, retail, manufacturing, and more. That means healthcare is just one of many areas they support, not a priority.
When an MSP doesn’t specialize in healthcare, you’ll run into common problems:
- Slow response times – Healthcare IT issues can’t wait days for a fix. MSPs that treat all industries the same don’t operate at the speed medical practices require.
- One-size-fits-all solutions – A standard business IT setup doesn’t meet the demands of a medical office handling sensitive patient data and compliance regulations.
- Lack of workflow integration – Generic IT providers don’t understand the daily operations of a medical practice, leading to tech that disrupts rather than supports patient care.
Of course there are other problems with traditional IT: lack of staff, lack of reach, chasing new tools, but we’ll focus on this problem now.
HealthSafeIT vs Traditional IT
HealthSafeIT was built for healthcare providers. Instead of treating IT as a separate function, we integrate it into your workflows, making technology an asset rather than a frustration. Here’s how:
1. Compliance Is Built Into Everything
Most MSPs treat compliance as an add-on, something to check off a list. HealthSafeIT makes compliance a core part of IT management, ensuring that security, HIPAA regulations, and risk mitigation are part of everyday operations.
- Automatic security updates to keep systems protected
- Regular risk assessments to prevent vulnerabilities
- Staff training to ensure everyone follows secure IT practices
2. IT That Works With Your Practice
A healthcare practice can’t afford downtime or workarounds. HealthSafeIT customizes IT solutions to fit how providers and staff work every day.
- Optimized remote access – Secure logins and mobile access make it easy for providers to work anywhere.
- Integrated Microsoft Teams – Streamlined communication tools built into the practice’s workflow.
- Faster IT support – Immediate help when you need it, so you’re never stuck waiting for a resolution.
3. A Strategy for Long-Term Success
A traditional MSP fixes problems as they come up. HealthSafeIT prevents them from happening in the first place. We focus on:
- Proactive management – Keeping systems up to date and secure before issues arise.
- Standardization – Ensuring every location, provider, and system operates consistently.
- Planned IT investments – Helping healthcare groups scale without IT growing pains.
The Bottom Line: Healthcare IT Shouldn’t Be an Afterthought
If your IT provider doesn’t specialize in healthcare, your practice is missing out on the efficiency, security, and reliability it needs to function at its best. HealthSafeIT is designed specifically for medical practices, ensuring technology supports patient care rather than slowing it down.
If your practice is struggling with IT that isn’t keeping up, it’s time to make the switch.
Let’s talk about how HealthSafeIT from Stringfellow can help your practice thrive.
