Cybersecurity & IT for Private Healthcare Practices

Protect Patient Data. Keep Your Practice Running Smoothly.

Today in private healthcare, the systems your practice relies on (from EHR platforms and billing applications to patient portals and connected medical devices) are only as strong as the IT infrastructure underneath them. Your network, endpoints, and security controls must keep these tools secure, compliant, and always available.

At Preferred, we ensure the technology foundation your EHR systems rely on is reliable, protected, and HIPAA-ready. We manage your IT, cybersecurity, backups, and support, while coordinating with your EHR and medical software vendors to keep everything running smoothly.

The result: your critical applications stay online, your staff stays productive, and your practice stays compliant — without the cost or complexity of in-house IT.

Your Challenges

Healthcare practices face unique technology pressures: patient safety, strict privacy rules, and the need for flawless uptime.

We understand how these challenges affect your day-to-day operations:

HIPAA compliance and audits that require airtight data security and documentation.

EHR system downtime that disrupts patient care and productivity.

Cybersecurity threats like ransomware, phishing, and patient data breaches.

Limited internal IT resources that can’t keep up with constant updates.

Rising costs from reactive IT providers and unplanned outages.

We deliver cybersecurity & IT solutions designed for private medical, dental, and therapy practices, combining HIPAA compliance, proactive management, and human-centered support.

Our team handles your technology, so you can stay focused on what matters most: your patients.
