The Smart Dentist's Guide to HIPAA and Computer Network Support


Book Description

Whenever I talk to dentists about HIPAA, their eyes become glassed over and I could tell there are 1 million other places they'd rather be at that point. If you own a dental practice, you're probably paying for someone to maintain your computer network and you may have hired a consultant to deal with your HIPAA compliance. What if there was a way for you to have a trouble free compliant computer network at a fraction of the cost that it would typically cost for each to be done individually? John started San Diego HIT to bring enterprise level IT support with HIPAA compliance to dental practices. San Diego HIT uses processes, procedures and tools developed just for dental networks to stop the "dental tax". IT support that also is HIPAA complaint does not have to be more expensive.
