The Challenge

Addressing Outdated IT and Ensuring HIPAA Compliance

Schein Ernst Mishra Eye, a leading ophthalmology practice in Harrisburg, PA, had been serving Central Pennsylvania for over 80 years, offering a wide range of eye care services, from routine exams to advanced surgeries like LASIK and cataract procedures. As the practice grew, so did their reliance on technology, and when their in-house IT manager approached retirement, they realized the need for a more robust and reliable IT partner. Their aging IT infrastructure was no longer able to keep up with the demands of a modern healthcare practice. The lack of proper security measures put them at serious risk of data breaches and HIPAA compliance violations—threats that could not only compromise patient safety but also erode the trust they had built over decades. It became clear that they needed an IT provider with deep healthcare experience and the expertise to implement secure, compliant solutions tailored to the specific needs of a healthcare organization.
