In the last ten years, technology has become an indispensable component of any organisation, particularly in the healthcare sector where it plays a vital role in streamlining operations and improving patient care. However, managing technology can be challenging and time-consuming for healthcare organisations that aren’t making use of invaluable IT managed services.
Managed IT services are an IT outsourcing solution that offers complete management of IT infrastructure, security, and end-user support for organisations. By leveraging managed services, businesses are able to access skilled technical specialists who seamlessly deploy and oversee their IT systems, minimising any interference with their day-to-day operations.
This approach empowers healthcare organisations to concentrate on their core competencies, such as delivering superior patient care and services, while entrusting IT management to specialists.
With the evolution of technology in healthcare and due to the sensitivity of medical data, cyber security in healthcare has become a huge challenge. A single data breach could compromise thousands or even millions of patients’ personal and medical records and can disrupt critical healthcare operations, such as patient care delivery, medical device functionality, and hospital operations.
To mitigate the risks of cyber threats, healthcare organisations need to adopt a proactive and comprehensive cyber security strategy that encompasses people, processes, and technology. However, many healthcare organisation’s don’t have the resources and skills available to proactively manage threats and protect themselves against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.

Due to in-house IT support for healthcare organisations already being stretched due to a lack of staff, resources, and budget, outsourcing IT managed services offers a lot of benefits. These include:
Save your budget: eliminate the need to hire and train in-house IT employees, investing in expensive IT infrastructure, and dealing with unexpected IT-related expenses
Access to skilled IT professionals: you’ll have access to a team of IT specialists who have specialised knowledge and experience in healthcare IT to handle complex IT issues and provide strategic advice for your organisation
Enhance data security: healthcare organisations are required to comply with strict regulations to ensure patient data privacy and security. IT managed services help organisations to meet these requirements by providing robust cyber security measures, vulnerability assessments, and round-the-clock monitoring
Increased focus on patient care: by outsourcing IT management to a managed service provider, you’ll be able to free up internal resources and focus on delivering high-quality patient care
Alongside access to a team of technical specialists who are readily available to support you, our managed services also relieve some of the stress and strain on your IT department. This allows your IT team to concentrate on other critical areas without becoming overwhelmed, maximising their productivity and efficiency.
