Health care providers need expertise in more than just medicine to operate in their work environment. They work with patients, advanced technology, document processes, and strict legal mandates to safeguard all of the sensitive data they handle – and they do so in a fast-paced, demanding, and stressful environment. As such, many healthcare organizations choose to bring on board managed services to help maintain compliance and reduce employee stress.
Managed IT solutions outsource some or all of the IT infrastructure to a third-party specialist. Taking over responsibility for this infrastructure shifts the burden of compliance onto the service provider, ensuring that all aspects of the company’s digital infrastructure remain compliant.
