Who we serve

IT consulting for healthcare, sized to your stage. From seed round to system-wide implementation.

A 12-bed rural hospital and a 40-hospital system don’t need the same advice. We scope every engagement to your size, your budget, and your next milestone.

  • Health Systems & Hospitals

    The challenge

    Post-merger sprawl, multiple EHR instances, and rising cyber insurance premiums.

    What we do

    Instance consolidation, enterprise integration strategy, cloud exit from aging data centers, and security program build-out.

  • Physician Groups & Ambulatory

    The challenge

    Lean IT teams, growing patient volume, and tools that don’t share data.

    What we do

    EHR optimization, patient access and portal integration, RCM system cleanup, and fractional IT leadership.

    CMS-0057-F API deadlines, prior authorization timelines, and member data spread across core platforms.

  • HealthTech Startups

    The challenge

    Enterprise buyers ask for SOC 2, HIPAA evidence, and EHR integration before they sign.

    HIPAA-ready architecture, security questionnaire support, Epic and Oracle Health marketplace strategy, and fractional CTO guidance.

AI readiness

AI won’t fix messy data. We fix the data first.

Most healthcare AI pilots stall between demo and production. The cause is rarely the model. It’s the data, the integrations, and the governance around it. Our AI Readiness Assessment tells you what’s ready, what isn’t, and what to build first.

    Board communication, budget defense, and clinical buy-in.

  • EHR analysts

    Build, workflow, and integration depth across major platforms.

    AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud HIPAA reference designs.

    Claims, eligibility, prior authorization, and payer APIs.

Engagement models

Start small or go all in. Every model ends in something that works.
