What is healthcare it services?
BASG Healthcare IT Services is HIPAA-compliant managed IT for medical practices, clinics, dental offices, and multi-location healthcare groups. It includes EHR support, secure remote access, encrypted backup, BAA-backed vendor relationships, and full alignment to the HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules — with readiness for the proposed 2026 Security Rule update.
Who it is for
- Independent medical and dental practices
- Multi-clinic healthcare groups across Florida
- Specialty practices (dermatology, orthopedics, cardiology, behavioral health)
- Healthcare-adjacent businesses subject to HIPAA (billing, lab, RCM)
- Practices with internal staff who need a HIPAA-knowledgeable IT partner
How it works
- Sign a BAA: BASG signs a Business Associate Agreement before any access to ePHI.
- HIPAA gap analysis: written assessment against the HIPAA Security Rule (and the proposed 2026 update), HIPAA Privacy Rule, and FIPA.
- Identity hardening: enforce MFA across EHR, M365, and clinical systems via Microsoft Entra ID.
- Encryption: full-disk encryption on every endpoint, encrypted backups, TLS 1.2+ for all transport.
- Continuous controls: biannual vulnerability scans, phishing training, dark-web monitoring, EDR.
- Incident response: 24-hour business-associate breach reporting, tabletop exercises, documented IR runbooks.
What is included
- Signed Business Associate Agreement (BAA)
- HIPAA-aligned managed IT (helpdesk, monitoring, patching)
- EHR infrastructure support and integration optimization
- Multi-factor authentication and conditional access
- Full-disk encryption with managed key escrow
- Immutable backup with tested 72-hour recovery
- Biannual vulnerability scans and remediation tracking
- Phishing simulation and HIPAA security awareness training
- 24-hour breach notification readiness
Pricing model
Healthcare IT is delivered as a managed engagement priced per user / per endpoint per month, scoped to clinic count, EHR complexity, and HIPAA compliance scope. Most multi-clinic deployments include implementation work in the first 90 days. Contact BASG for an indicative quote.
Compliance & security
Aligned to HIPAA Security and Privacy Rules (with readiness for the proposed Security Rule update), the Florida Information Protection Act (FIPA), and NIST CSF. BASG signs current BAAs and supports continuous evidence collection for compliance audits.
How it compares to alternatives
- Generic MSP without healthcare focus — Practices with no compliance exposure (rare) — most generic MSPs cannot sign a current BAA or run a documented HIPAA risk analysis.
- In-house IT staff — Hospital systems and very large groups (200+ providers) with budget for a CIO and dedicated security staff.
- BASG Healthcare IT — Independent practices and multi-clinic groups (1–30 clinics) needing HIPAA-grade IT without hiring a healthcare-specialized CIO.
Common questions
- Will BASG sign a BAA?
- Yes. BASG executes a current Business Associate Agreement before any access to ePHI. The BAA covers permitted uses, safeguards, breach notification, subcontractor management, and termination obligations.
- Does BASG support our specific EHR?
- BASG supports the IT infrastructure, networking, identity, security, and backup behind major EHR platforms. We do not replace your EHR vendor's clinical support, but we ensure the underlying environment performs reliably and meets HIPAA requirements.
- What about the 2026 HIPAA Security Rule changes?
- The update is still proposed (final action projected for July 2027), but BASG already runs its requirements for clients — encryption, MFA, six-monthly vulnerability scans, 72-hour recovery, and 24-hour business-associate notification. See our case study on a 12-clinic group that reached readiness in 90 days.

HIPAA Security Rule overhaul — major changes incoming
Your Practice Deserves IT That Understands Healthcare
Generic IT providers treat your medical practice like any other office. But healthcare is not any other office. You handle protected health information. You answer to HIPAA auditors. Your EHR going down means patients do not get care.
BASG builds IT infrastructure specifically for Florida healthcare organizations — with HIPAA compliance, EHR performance, and clinical workflow efficiency at the center of every decision.
HIPAA expertise built into every service, not bolted on as an afterthought
EHR-optimized infrastructure that keeps clinical software fast and reliable
15-minute response SLA for issues affecting patient care or EHR access

Healthcare IT Solutions
Purpose-built technology services for medical practices, clinics, and healthcare organizations across Florida.
HIPAA Compliance Management
Full-scope HIPAA compliance including risk assessments, policy development, technical safeguard implementation, and ongoing monitoring. We track the proposed Security Rule update so you don't have to.
EHR & Practice Management IT
Infrastructure optimized for Epic, Cerner, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and other EHR platforms. Fast, reliable access to patient records across every workstation and exam room.
Healthcare Cybersecurity
Zero-trust security architecture built for healthcare. Encrypted PHI at rest and in transit, endpoint protection across clinical devices, and 24/7 threat monitoring from our SOC.
Backup & Disaster Recovery
HIPAA-compliant backup with tested recovery procedures. Restore critical systems within 72 hours, the bar the proposed Security Rule update would set, with geo-redundant backups and automated failover.
Clinical Network Infrastructure
Segmented networks that isolate medical devices, patient WiFi, and administrative systems. Proper VLAN architecture that satisfies auditors and keeps clinical workflows fast.
Access Control & Identity Management
Multi-factor authentication, role-based access controls, and audit logging for every PHI touchpoint. Ready for the MFA requirement in the proposed Security Rule update, without slowing provider workflows.
The Proposed HIPAA Security Rule Would Change Everything
The most significant HIPAA update in over a decade is still pending: proposed in January 2025, with final action now projected for July 2027. As proposed, nearly every safeguard becomes mandatory, and insurers and auditors already ask for most of them. Is your practice ready?
Mandatory Encryption
All ePHI would have to be encrypted at rest and in transit. No more "addressable" workarounds.
MFA Required Everywhere
Multi-factor authentication would become mandatory for all users accessing systems with ePHI. No exceptions for small practices.
72-Hour Recovery
You would have to restore critical systems within 72 hours of any incident. Tested backup and disaster recovery is already table stakes.
Biannual Vulnerability Scans
Vulnerability scanning every six months and annual penetration testing would be required, not recommended.
24-Hour BA Reporting
Business associates would have to notify you within 24 hours of activating their contingency plans. Your vendors would be on the clock.
Annual BA Verification
Written verification of business associate technical safeguards would be required every year.
Ambient AI documentation is arriving fast. HIPAA comes with it.

Every AI scribe handles protected health information, so it needs a signed business associate agreement, access controls, and a network and devices that can carry it. BASG helps practices check AI vendors against HIPAA before anyone starts recording a visit.

Healthcare IT Across Florida
Where we work, and what changes by market.
HIPAA obligations do not change by county, but the practical shape of healthcare IT does. We support practices, clinics, and specialty groups across Florida, with on-site engineering in South Florida from our Miami office in Kendall and scheduled coverage elsewhere.
Miami-Dade & Coral Gables
Our home market. Practices in the health district, Coral Way, and Coral Gables, frequently with bilingual front-office staff and EHR uptime requirements that do not tolerate a queue.
Broward & Palm Beach
Specialty and concierge practices across the Broward Health corridor and south Palm Beach County, where patient expectations around availability run high.
Outside South Florida, we support healthcare organizations through remote operations with scheduled on-site visits dispatched from Kendall. Monitoring, help desk, patching, security operations, and backup verification work the same from anywhere. What distance affects is physical work, so where a practice genuinely needs guaranteed same-day presence we scope it explicitly, including spare hardware staged on site, rather than implying a local office we do not have.
Orlando & Central Florida
Central Florida care is anchored by large health systems, surrounded by independent specialty practices, outpatient clinics, and surgery centers, plus the Lake Nona medical district, where health-tech and research operations often carry data handling requirements beyond standard HIPAA.
For an independent practice, the recurring issue is integration: referrals, results, and imaging exchanged with health-system platforms you do not control. That puts interfaces, VPNs, and shared identity at the center of the risk analysis.
IT services in OrlandoTampa Bay
Tampa Bay pairs large hospital systems with a broad base of independent physician groups, specialty clinics, and outpatient centers across Hillsborough and Pinellas, many of them running several sites.
Multi-site groups are where HIPAA programs drift: each office with its own firewall, its own local admin accounts, its own backup habit. The first piece of work is usually one standard configuration, one identity platform, and one recovery plan that has actually been tested, with storm season on the Gulf coast in mind.
IT services in TampaJacksonville & Northeast Florida
Jacksonville has a large health-system presence, including major academic and specialty medical centers, alongside independent practices and a substantial insurance and healthcare administration sector.
Billing, revenue cycle, and benefits operations handle PHI without ever seeing a patient. As business associates they carry the same Security Rule obligations as the practices they serve, including 24-hour incident reporting under the 2026 rule.
IT services in JacksonvilleWhat stays constant everywhere: risk analysis that would survive an OCR investigation, business associate agreements that are current and actually assessed, encryption at rest and in transit, tested backups with verified restores, and an incident response plan with real names in it. What changes is the on-site model, and we are explicit about that per market rather than implying a presence we do not have.
