As new healthcare paradigms overtake older models, many healthcare service providers are seeking trusted managed services providers (MSPs) to oversee critical functions that support care delivery while simultaneously saving money.
“Healthcare IT teams face the challenge of managing systems and infrastructure to support uninterrupted care,” wrote Christine Holloway for HealthTech. “They must also contend with reduced budgets, as well as managing the deployment of new technologies designed to maintain greater social distancing and sanitation within their physical spaces.”
Staff reductions and an increased reliance on telemedicine have raised the stakes for many healthcare organizations, which means the need to find a solid MSP partner is more urgent than ever.
Medicus IT is an Alpharetta, Georgia-based managed services provider (MSP) focused on healthcare. This week, the company announced that it’s set to grow with the acquisition of Petulama, California-based healthcare MSP Health Information Technology Care (HITCare). The merger is expected to elevate Medicus IT as one of the largest healthcare focused MSPs in the country and will deliver significant value to its clients.
"Our strategic merger with HITCare positively impacts the efforts to expand our national presence," said Chris Jann, CEO of MIT, in a statement. "The joining of the talented HITCare team elevates our level of service delivery to our clients and introduces additional value and enhanced service offerings. Furthermore, with the California presence, we expand our service reach and position as the foremost healthcare IT authority."
HITCare provides professional managed IT services, clinical EMR support, and consulting services specifically tailored to non-profit human services organizations and community health centers. The company has built a reputation as a trusted technology partner supporting community-based organizations in California.
"With this merger, our community health and non-profit clients will have greater access through expanded operational efficiencies and never need to reach far for experienced support," said Tony Niemotka, President of HITCare. "Also, our clients will benefit from a financially stronger service partner offering a deep health IT and EMR technical bench coupled with greater risk mitigation and economy of scale.
To learn more about how managed service providers can improve healthcare delivery, make plans to attend MSPEXPO, part of the #TECHSUPERSHOW series. MSPEXPO has been designed to help service providers understand how they can drive more recurring revenue, increase the valuation of their companies, grow and protect their networks and deliver better customer service. It will also help companies looking for MSP partners to understand how MSPs can help them grow. The show will take place from June 22 to 25, 2021 at the Miami Beach Convention Center.
