Tampa Bay medical practices serve a fast-growing region, a large retiree community and a sizable military and veteran population. For Tampa Bay medical practices, ITServices.Tech handles managed IT end to end: the help desk, cybersecurity, backup and recovery, and technology planning.
Hospitals and practices around the bay
Tampa General, Moffitt Cancer Center, BayCare, AdventHealth and Johns Hopkins All Children’s in St. Petersburg anchor care in the region, and USF Health trains physicians in its downtown Tampa medical school. The James A. Haley VA hospital serves one of the busiest veteran populations in the country, and independent practices are growing in Wesley Chapel, Riverview, Brandon and Clearwater.
Referrals to cancer and specialty centers
Practices refer many patients to Moffitt and other specialty centers and receive notes, imaging and pathology back. Secure direct messaging, portal access set up by role and a dependable process for importing outside results into the chart keep those referrals from getting lost in fax queues.
Florida record confidentiality and breach rules
Under section 456.057 of the Florida Statutes, practitioners need patient authorization for most disclosures of records, and the state’s Information Protection Act treats medical history as protected personal information. HIPAA applies as well. In practice that means two-step sign-in, encrypted laptops and phones, permissions tied to job duties and logs of chart access, which we manage, along with HIPAA staff training and completion records.
Veterans and community care
Practices that see veterans through VA community care programs exchange authorizations and records with the VA. A clear, secure workflow for those documents keeps claims and care moving and reduces the time staff spend chasing paperwork.
Storm surge and evacuation zones
Offices in evacuation zones in Pinellas and South Tampa may close for days before and after a storm. An EHR reachable from anywhere, phone trees that ring staff wherever they evacuate and backups verified before landfall let the practice keep refilling prescriptions and answering patients.
