Healthcare IT Support in Tampa, FL

Tampa General Hospital on Davis Islands is an academic medical center, the primary teaching hospital for the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine and the only Level I trauma center on Florida's west coast. Moffitt Cancer Center keeps most of its research facilities on the University of South Florida campus in north Tampa, beside USF Health's Morsani Center for Advanced Healthcare, and AdventHealth Tampa's main campus is on East Fletcher Avenue. BayCare's St. Joseph's Hospital and St. Joseph's Children's Hospital share a campus on West Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard.

ACS serves independent practices outside those systems, above all specialty groups with two or more sites, 26 to 50 staff and 30-plus computers whose owner or administrator wants one accountable IT partner and the price up front.

• Dental and orthodontic groups: every imaging PC and operatory built the same way (dental IT support).
• Dermatology and med spas: encrypted clinical photos (med spa HIPAA).
• Behavioral health: video visits and locked-down therapy notes (behavioral health IT).
• Optometry and physical therapy: exam-lane instruments and shared PCs (eye care IT).

ACS has three plans, priced per endpoint per month: Core IT $110, Proactive IT $175 and Complete IT $295. Each plan includes everything in the one before it. Support for practice software and vendor coordination starts at Proactive IT. Compliance and risk management, plus 24/7 security monitoring by our in-house SOC, are in Complete IT. A Solution Architect confirms your exact per-endpoint price on a free 30-minute call.

Labelled example (arithmetic on the list prices, not a quote): A 25-computer practice on Core IT: $2,750 a month at $110 per endpoint.

Groups of 26 to 50 staff fall between the 25-user and 50-user rows.

Three rulebooks reach a Hillsborough County exam room, and each lands on the IT setup.

• 45 CFR 164.308, the HIPAA Security Rule: analyse and manage risks to electronic patient information, and get a BAA before any vendor touches it.
• Fla. Stat. 501.171, the Florida Information Protection Act of 2014: a patient's name with a diagnosis, treatment or health insurance number is personal information needing reasonable protection. After a breach, an IT agent has 10 days to tell the practice; patients hear within 30 days (notice under HIPAA's federal rules also counts), and the Department of Legal Affairs is told when 500 or more Floridians are affected. Disposal means shredding or erasing until unreadable.
• Fla. Stat. 456.057: records leave only with written patient authorization or a listed exception; records owners keep written security procedures and train staff on them; a closing or relocating practitioner must notify patients.

We support practices in the Tampa Bay area remotely, with onsite work as needed. Patches, alerts, sign-in fixes and most tickets are handled remotely; a second location, a server-closet move or a workstation rollout becomes a project with onsite time booked.

Every practice gets a named Technical Account Manager. Smaller practices share a specialist pod that looks after a handful of clients; larger groups get a dedicated pod.
