Healthcare

Phishing emails are hitting healthcare practices harder than ever, and they are getting more convincing every month. Attackers now use realistic messages that look like Microsoft alerts, patient documents, invoices, or secure voicemails. One click can expose your email system, patient communications, billing data, and internal files. For practice owners, the real risk is not just spam, it is downtime, compliance exposure, and costly recovery. Atlantic Computer Systems combines AI-driven detection with expert IT oversight to stop threats early and reduce liability before they become a breach.

Many optometry and ophthalmology practices choose a low-cost IT provider to reduce overhead. But in healthcare, “cheap IT” often creates a much bigger expense: lost patient flow. Slow logins, unreliable Wi-Fi, EHR delays, and recurring technical issues do not just frustrate staff, they disrupt the schedule. And when your schedule falls behind, patient wait times rise, overtime increases, and your practice loses the ability to see as many patients per day. In an eye care clinic, the true cost of IT is not measured by the monthly fee. It is measured by lost minutes that turn into lost appointments.
