The Challenge As the pa ent base con nued to grow, the organiza on's IT opera ons began to lag. Mountain Park knew they needed to establish a scalable IT environment that would reduce down me, increase security and meet data back-up and recovery needs. Most importantly, they had to ensure pa ents' records complied with federal and state security requirements. With frequent network down me, the organiza on experienced a breakdown in communica on between the geographically dispersed clinics. Weekly down me of its servers lasted an average of 20 minutes at a me. Mountain Park lacked the people, processes and technologies to maintain a sound IT environment across all loca ons. The agency had only one IT manager for all five loca ons, thus wai ng for on-site help had become the norm. The OneNeckĀ® IT Solutions Answer OneNecks' team of experts assessed Mountain Park's business requirements and created a technology road map with highly efficient IT infrastructure. In addi on, OneNeck had the bandwidth to grow with the organiza on and tackle any new federal regula ons, like the move toward electronic medical records. The result was a strategic approach to developing a new environment that was cost-effec ve and enabled Mountain Park to treat more pa ents.
