Clare Computer Solutions (CCS), a professional services firm providing IT solutions for companies in the San Francisco Bay area since 1990, advises and manages medical and healthcare clients regarding their technology and infrastructure needs.

October is an excellent time to get started on a 2016 budget for the coming year, but healthcare practices need to address and include their technology needs as well.

IT costs can be controlled and made more predictable when steps are taken to properly maintain the IT infrastructure and cycle out aging IT assets in an organized way. In addition, having a plan in place will help practices meet HIPAA guidelines and be more efficient.

Here’s how to address this in 3 manageable steps:
•    Assess
o    Take stock of what your IT infrastructure is right now. In a small medical practice, this might be done visually, but generally, it’s much better to utilize a software tool to “discover” what you have, and output that information in a diagram and an accompanying asset list.
•    Remediate
o    Often, the assessment will reveal some things that have to be addressed immediately, and if that’s the case, take steps to repair what’s truly not working.  It can ensure your office’s operations are stable and properly running as you address the next step, which is more strategic.
•    Plan
o    Forget technology for a minute. What are the goals for your practice over next 1, 3 or 5 years?  How do you envision the future? Then compare that vision against your current IT infrastructure and decide how that environment would have to change to accommodate your practice and its operations if those goals are met.  Also, is your current technology helping you meet HIPAA requirements? How can you ensure your technology will be appropriate for your future needs?

For many Healthcare Providers, this type of strategic IT planning is not in their skill set. This is typically the responsibility of a Chief Technology Officer (CTO) or a Chief Information Officer (CIO) – to create a technology roadmap to match your practice’s goals.  Clare Computer Solutions provides strategic IT planning and consulting, acting as a “Virtual CIO” to help practices achieve their goals.
