The Stakes Are Too High for Outdated Tech
Healthcare leaders come to us when:
​
-
They’ve received a HIPAA audit notice or warning
-
They’re unsure where PHI is stored—or if it’s encrypted
-
Their backups failed, and they didn’t know until it was too late
-
Their old IT vendor disappeared during an emergency
-
They’re tired of juggling vendors who don’t understand HIPAA
​​​
At GCMSP, we solve tech issues before they become violations. And we speak your language, whether that’s medical, administrative… or Spanish.​​
