MANAGED IT SERVICES

This service is designed to supplement or augment a healthcare facility’s existing IT department. CRHC utilizes Kaseya Software Solutions for patch management, anti-virus, and remote monitoring. Help desk services are also available. This service includes three different levels of service bundles as well as a full spectrum of a la carte services designed to meet all of your IT needs.

HIT ON-SITE OR REMOTE SUPPORT

On-site/remote or ‘block of time’ support agreements include on-site or remote services for general HIT needs. These agreements are typically provided in reaction to an incident that has already occurred, such as when a user has encountered a problem, but are also utilized to fulfill work scheduled ahead of time. If backup at your facility is needed to provide relief of your current staff on holidays, sick leave and vacation time or interim support during staff transition, CRHC’s experienced HIT staff will step in and fill those needs. The key differentiator between this and flat-fee agreements is that the Managed IT Services through Kaseya specifically provide remote monitoring, patch management and anti-virus. These flat fee agreements are optional components that can be added to the agreement at additional cost.
