Sleepy Eye Medical Center (SEMC) clinic and hospital grew from five computers to 170 workstations, 15 servers, numerous electronic devices and multiple specialty care providers all connected with technology.
However, as SEMC became more reliant on technology, they faced the risk of potential downtime and possible interruption of care.
Government regulations to protect the privacy and security of patient records (HIPAA) also required the creation of a more robust IT framework and strategy to comply with the law and provide appropriate access to medical professionals.
SEMC partnered with Thriveon in 2008 for IT support and to understand the implications of HIPAA from a technology point of view, and it has been a longstanding partnership ever since.
We provided business-level guidance and IT department service throughout their digital transformation.
Our virtual Chief Information Officer (vCIO) input has resulted in sound technology decision-making.
This has allowed the medical center to use technology and deliver a high level of care to their patients.
The overriding value that SEMC gained from working with Thriveon is a collaboration that has enabled the organization to meet industry challenges and achieve its goals for improving how it serves the community.
