Healthcare & Medical Clinics

IT for healthcare that protects
patient data absolutely.

From OSCAR EMR and Jane App to PIPEDA compliance and telehealth infrastructure — we manage clinic IT so your clinicians can focus on patients, not passwords.

Healthcare IT carries
clinical consequences

An IT failure in a clinic isn't a productivity inconvenience — it's a care delivery failure. Healthcare IT requires a different level of reliability, security, and regulatory awareness.

Patient Data Security & PIPEDA

Personal health information is among the most sensitive data that exists. BC PIPA and federal PIPEDA create strict obligations around how patient data is collected, stored, and protected.

EMR Uptime Is Clinical

When OSCAR or Jane App goes down, your clinic stops. Appointments can't be accessed, prescriptions can't be written, billing stalls. EMR reliability directly affects patient care.

Ransomware Targeting Healthcare

Healthcare is the #1 most targeted sector for ransomware, and clinics are particularly vulnerable due to the urgency of restoring access to patient records. Attackers know you'll pay.

Telehealth & Remote Care Complexity

Video consultations, remote monitoring, and patient portal management require specific IT configuration that most general IT providers aren't equipped to deliver.

IT services designed for
clinical environments

We understand EMR systems, PIPEDA obligations, and what it means when the IT system is part of the care pathway. Every service we deliver is built around clinic reality.

EMR Support & Management

OSCAR EMR, Jane App, Accuro, Telus Health (PS Suite), Kroll — we support the full EMR spectrum. Setup, upgrades, data migration, performance optimization, and integration with lab and diagnostic systems.

Patient Data Security & PIPEDA Compliance

We implement the security controls BC PIPA and PIPEDA require: encryption at rest and in transit, access controls limited to treatment team members, audit logging of PHI access, and breach notification procedures.

Healthcare Cybersecurity

Multi-layer protection specifically tuned for healthcare: email security that catches phishing targeting clinics, ransomware protection with tested recovery, medical device network segmentation, and staff security training.

Telehealth Infrastructure

Video consultation platform support (OTN, Zoom for Healthcare), patient portal management, remote monitoring device connectivity, and the network configuration that makes telehealth reliable.

Medical Device Networking

Proper network segmentation for connected medical devices: diagnostic equipment, PACS systems, and IoT health devices on isolated networks that can't reach — or be reached from — corporate IT.

Backup & Disaster Recovery for Clinics

EMR-specific backup strategies with rapid recovery procedures. If your OSCAR database is encrypted by ransomware on a Monday morning, we have a tested plan to restore clinical operations in hours, not days.

Business Continuity Planning

Documented procedures for IT failures, cyber incidents, and natural disasters — tested regularly so your clinic knows exactly what to do when the EMR goes down, who calls whom, and how long recovery takes.

Clinical IT That
Protects Patients

Healthcare IT isn't just about uptime — it's about the privacy of the most sensitive information your patients have ever shared, and the reliability of systems that clinicians depend on to deliver care.

Why Healthcare IT Is Different

PHI is the highest-value target — Personal health information commands the highest prices on the dark web and triggers the most serious regulatory consequences when breached. Your IT environment must reflect this.
Clinical workflows can't be interrupted — A 2-hour server outage in an office is annoying. In a clinic with 30 patients scheduled, it's a care delivery failure. Redundancy and recovery time are clinical priorities.
Legacy medical equipment — Diagnostic devices, imaging systems, and lab equipment often run outdated operating systems that can't be patched. Network isolation is the only way to protect them without replacing them.
PIPEDA breach reporting — BC PIPA and PIPEDA require breach reporting within specified timeframes. Your IT partner needs to have an incident response process that supports these obligations — not just a hope that nothing goes wrong.
Multi-provider environments — Clinics often have multiple practitioners sharing infrastructure but with separate patient lists. Role-based access, separate billing streams, and privacy isolation between providers requires careful IT design.

OSCAR EMR Infrastructure

OSCAR Pro and OSCAR Classic hosting, performance optimization, version upgrades, database management, and integration with BC PharmaNet, provincial lab systems, and diagnostic imaging.

Jane App & Cloud EMR

Jane App configuration, staff onboarding support, integration with telehealth tools, payment processing setup, and the IT support behind your online booking and patient communication workflows.

Accuro & Telus Health

Accuro, Telus Health PS Suite — server requirements, multi-provider configuration, billing integration, and the backup strategies these systems need for clinical data protection.

PACS & Diagnostic Imaging

PACS system networking, DICOM server management, and the storage architecture that handles large imaging files while keeping patient data properly secured and accessible.

Telehealth Platform Support

OTN (Ontario Telemedicine Network) connections, Zoom for Healthcare, and virtual care platform management for BC clinics offering remote consultations.

Clinic Network Design

Segmented networks with separate zones for clinical systems, administrative workstations, patient WiFi, and medical devices — ensuring that a compromised patient device can never reach your EMR.

We understand
clinical IT

Healthcare IT isn't just about keeping computers running — it's about protecting the most sensitive information your patients have ever shared with anyone. Our engineers understand OSCAR, Jane App, PIPEDA obligations, and the regulatory environment BC clinics operate in.

Common questions

How do you back up OSCAR EMR?
We implement automated encrypted backups of the OSCAR database (MariaDB/MySQL) to Canadian cloud storage multiple times daily. We test restores regularly so we know exactly how long recovery takes and that it actually works.
Can you help us set up telehealth video consultations?
Yes — we configure and support OTN connections, Zoom for Healthcare, and other BC-approved telehealth platforms. This includes network QoS configuration to prioritize video traffic and staff training on the technical aspects.
How do you handle PIPEDA breach notification obligations?
Our incident response plan includes breach assessment, notification procedures, and documentation support. We help you determine whether an incident meets the PIPEDA reporting threshold and assist with the OPC notification process.
Do you support multi-provider clinics where practitioners need separate patient data?
Yes — we configure role-based access controls in OSCAR and other EMR systems so each provider only accesses their own patient records by default. We also implement audit logging to track who accessed which patient records.
What happens if ransomware hits our clinic?
We deploy ransomware-resistant backup (immutable cloud backup that can't be encrypted) and tested recovery procedures. For clinics, we build a specific recovery sequence: EMR first, then billing, then peripherals — with an estimated RTO so you know what to expect.
