When healthcare leaders look for medical managed services, they usually have a lot of questions. Whether it’s about security, efficiency, or cost, they want to know how outsourcing IT can make their practices run better, keep patient data safe, and allow their staff to focus on patient care.
At Stringfellow Technology Group, we’ve worked with outpatient healthcare groups and multi-location medical practices long enough to know the top three concerns that come up every single time. Here’s what healthcare executives want to know and what you should be asking too.
Will Medical Managed Services Actually Improve Patient Care?
Better IT leads to better patient outcomes. When your IT is managed properly, doctors and staff spend less time troubleshooting and more time with patients. With cloud-based solutions, medical records, imaging, and communications are instantly available with no waiting and no downtime.
Network failures and slow systems impact patient flow. Managed IT ensures systems stay fast, stable, and always online. A HIPAA-compliant IT provider ensures patient data is protected, reducing the risk of costly breaches and compliance fines.
If your IT feels like an obstacle instead of an asset, medical managed services can remove those roadblocks so your staff can focus on patients, not IT problems.
How Secure Are Medical Managed Services?
Cybersecurity is the number one financial risk for healthcare organizations today. Data breaches are costly, and downtime from ransomware can shut down a practice for days. So, is outsourcing IT really secure? If done right, yes, it is far more secure than in-house IT.
With Stringfellow Technology Group, your medical practice benefits from 24/7 network monitoring for immediate threat detection and response, advanced endpoint protection for every device, a zero-trust security model as best practice, and automatic data backups with cloud-based recovery to restore files and systems quickly after cyberattacks or outages.
Keeping your patient data secure isn’t optional. A managed IT provider ensures compliance with HIPAA, HITECH, and other regulations without adding extra work to your team.
How Can Medical Managed Services Help With Staff Retention?
Staff turnover is a major issue in healthcare, and one of the biggest complaints from providers and office staff is that technology makes their jobs harder. With the right IT strategy, technology can reduce stress and increase efficiency.
Seamless remote work gives providers and administrative staff secure access to EMRs and scheduling tools from anywhere. Faster, more reliable IT support means no more waiting hours or days for a fix. Automation of repetitive tasks cuts down on manual entry and paperwork. When IT is smooth, fast, and seamless, your staff spends less time dealing with technology frustrations and more time focused on patient care.
A frustrating IT experience leads to high turnover. Medical managed services eliminate IT headaches so your staff stays happy and stays longer.
