Learn more →Every resource on this page started as a response to a specific question a medical practice asked during an engagement. When the same question came up three or four times from different practices, it signaled a broadly relevant gap — something not well-covered by vendor documentation, trade press, or existing industry material. Those became the resources you see here.
The format varies because the content requires different treatments. A HIPAA compliance checklist needs to be specific, structured, and practically actionable. A cost guide needs to cite authoritative benchmarks and explain variation drivers. A how-to article needs to walk through decision-making process. Each resource is built for its purpose, not shoehorned into a template.
What every resource has in common: plain language accessible to practice administrators, grounded in authoritative sources (HHS, CMS, NIST, HIMSS, ONC, IBM, KLAS, Ponemon), and free of marketing fluff. If we can't actually help a reader, we'd rather not publish the resource.
Comprehensive walkthroughs of major decision areas — EHR selection, HIPAA compliance, MIPS readiness, ransomware prevention, telehealth setup, EHR optimization, AI implementation.
Practical tools — practice IT setup checklist, cybersecurity self-assessment, IT budget planner, vendor evaluation scorecard, EHR migration timeline, HIPAA training toolkit, PE technology due diligence.
Decision-framework articles — how to choose a healthcare MSP, how to choose an EHR system, how to evaluate a cybersecurity provider, what to look for in a healthcare IT partner, signs you need a new IT provider.
Benchmarks and ranges — healthcare IT cost guide, EHR implementation cost, HIPAA compliance cost, managed IT pricing for healthcare, cost of a healthcare data breach.
Industry analysis — healthcare IT trends, AI in healthcare, cybersecurity statistics, state of EHR, telehealth trends. Updated annually or more frequently for fast-moving topics.
