Healthcare networks are a prime target for cyberattacks.

From local hospitals to Emergency Medical Services providers, Nerd Crossing can safeguard your practice from ransomware, data theft, phishing, and insider threats.


BYOD

Migrating to the Cloud

We can help migrate from on-site legacy systems and programs to cloud based medical record systems (EMRs, EHRs, and PHRs).

Giving access to the wrong individuals is a surefire way to compromise security. And since many healthcare projects involve multiple vendors, consultants, and employees. An internal policy simply isn’t enough.

iPads & Chromebooks

Access Management and Data Security

Since you can’t possibly supervise everyone, we’ll be your “eyes and ears” across the enterprise. No more costly surprises! With Nerd Crossing, you’ll get a custom-built IT infrastructure that delegates an appropriate level of access to all personnel.

Is your patient and business data backed up and encrypted? If not, even a simple incident could be a huge loss for your bottom line. Let the Nerds help you avoid data loss, prevent outages, and keep your customers happy with consistent uptime.

Security & Web Filtering

Disaster Prevention

Need advice on backups and disaster response plans? The Nerds help healthcare companies protect the integrity of company information with a 3-Step IT Roadmap. We’ll make sure that your systems are up and running — including booting redundancy by eliminating single points of failure. We can also set up technical compliance and regulatory safeguards in place to ensure that you’re always HIPAA-compliant. That means easy auditing, governance, and reporting while keeping your network agile and highly available.

Locking Down Systems

Mobile Device Management

(MDM) secures employee devices so that critical data is only used for approved purposes. This includes item-level encryption, endpoint security, geofencing, multi-factor-authentication, password management, remote wiping, and more! MDM is particularly applicable with EMS providers as their mobile workforce (e.g. drivers) use apps on iPads, Chromebooks or phones for dispatch and scheduling.

Locking Down Systems

Employee Training

Cyberattacks can happen to anyone. Give your employees peace of mind with training to secure your company data. Our custom privacy training can be provided on a one-time or recurring basis. Our cyber training covers how to handle personally identifiable information (PII) and accessing records securely. They’ll also learn how to avoid spam emails, ransomware, phishing, and more!

Why is Healthcare Cybersecurity Important?

Data breaches and system outages are no joke for healthcare professionals.

They disrupt your flow of business and puts your patient’s lives in the balance.

With a robust IT infrastructure, you can ensure that:

  • Providers can schedule appointments and make emergency visits at all times
  • Multiple specialists can coordinate and deliver care in real-time
  • Patients, families, and caregivers can play a more active role in medical decisions
  • Information about serious conditions gets shared earlier — reducing errors and cost of care
