Streamline Healthcare IT with Routine IT Audits

Compliance. Legal requirements. Complex patient care regulations. Factors like these make the field of healthcare IT a maze — one IT teams and overseeing stakeholders must skillfully navigate every day to continue providing the apps, infrastructure, and human services patients and providers demand. 

We all know the IT decisions you make for your healthcare organization today will have a dramatic and lasting impact on the health and safety of your patients and your company. It’s a stressful idea to grapple with as your perimeter expands and compliance/regulatory needs grow. To keep your head above the complexity and ensure the changes you implement have maximum positive impact, turn to an IT audit and consulting service that specializes in healthcare. Here’s how the process works.

A Healthcare IT Audit Analyzes Your Current Expenses and Technology

It might seem counterintuitive to hire a healthcare IT consultant to save money. In fact, you might well think that doing it on your own has to be less expensive; many companies do until they see what a professional IT auditor can do to improve their spending.

Healthcare IT consulting from PAG begins with a comprehensive telecom audit of your existing systems. We’ll review your specific needs in a process led by a certifiable healthcare IT expert. We’ll analyze your existing telecom bills and overall technology spending to find billing mistakes. Then we’ll determine if there are solutions you’re paying for but not using. 

We typically find immediate savings — and, often, credits owed to you by vendors. The savings can go toward upgrading your existing technology or investing in new, more relevant solutions. You’ll get tailored recommendations that allow you to narrow down a list of vendors and find the exact right products and services. And the IT and telecom audits you undergo will prepare you with the information you need to make better technology decisions in general. 

Expert Guidance on Healthcare Technology Procurement

The market for healthcare technology is vast, with thousands of vendors and tens of thousands of products vying for a piece of your budget. For healthcare executives and administrators already struggling to keep up with day-to-day operations, the prospect of properly evaluating untold numbers of vendors and product offerings is overwhelming. If you don’t have any specific expertise in healthcare technology and don’t fully understand how various technologies can benefit your organization or practice, a stressful process becomes even more daunting. 

Do you know the criteria to evaluate a healthcare technology vendor? It goes beyond just finding the right features or an affordable cost. A healthcare IT consultant like PAG can help you examine:

• Vendor reliability
• Security and compliance with regulations, including HIPAA
• User-friendliness to make providers’ jobs easier
• Clinical viability support for best practices in evidence-based medical care
• Ongoing customer support and service
