Combined Expertise Cost-Effectively Delivers Secure and Compliant Technology Solutions to Healthcare Providers
OMAHA, Neb., February 17, 2015 – Cosentry, the leading Midwest IT Solutions provider, today announced IT consulting firm Silver Arrow Technologies has joined the Cosentry Alliance Program. By partnering with Cosentry for hosted IT infrastructure services, Silver Arrow is able to complement their existing offerings while quickly bringing new Healthcare Data Management solutions to market. In addition, the partnership helps ensure hospital records are secure and meet stringent Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) compliance regulations for processing.
HIPAA sets healthcare compliance standards for data privacy – imposing significant penalties through the America Medical Association of $50,000 per violation, with an annual maximum fee of $1.5 million for organizations who fail to comply. Incorporating Cosentry solutions in their portfolio further enhances Silver Arrow’s ability to provide solutions which help ensure adherence to HIPAA regulations.
“With HIPAA, the healthcare industry is increasingly facing tougher penalties for noncompliance and providers can significantly damage their reputation if regulations are not met. Providers must focus on patient care while securing digital files and information, along with maintaining full HIPAA compliance,” said Mike Henderson, Regional Vice President, Cosentry. “Using our award-winning compliant cloud, robust security and managed service offerings, Silver Arrow can support healthcare IT infrastructure needs, while maintaining the highest level of security and HIPAA compliance.”
As Cosentry’s newest partner, Silver Arrow adds powerful IT services to its broad-based portfolio – which include IT and Infrastructure consulting, EMR implementation, security/risk assessment, workflow/system improvement, and data management/analysis. Through Silver Arrow, Cosentry IT solutions ensure the IT consulting firm’s customers can access a broad menu of new, flexible offerings that extend beyond baseline hosted services, including:
● Fully Integrated Help Desk Services
● Multiple Disaster Recovery Solutions
● Compliant Cloud Services
● Robust Security Solutions
● Colocation and Data Center Services
● Managed Infrastructure and Application Services
“Working with Cosentry, we can provide our customers more IT infrastructure service offerings and stronger service level agreements (SLA) while also lowering their IT costs,” said Matthew Trent, CEO, Silver Arrow Technologies. “In addition, we have developed a direct relationship with the company’s leadership which enhances our ability to provide our customers with the peace-of-mind that their IT infrastructure is well maintained and highly secure.”
