Managed IT for Healthcare Clinics in BC
GP practices, specialist clinics, and multi-physician offices carry the highest compliance complexity in the healthcare sector. Nexanova manages the technology that keeps your clinic running, your patient data secure, and your regulatory obligations met.
Technology Challenges in Healthcare
PIPA and BC E-Health Act compliance
BC's Personal Information Protection Act and the E-Health Act impose strict requirements on how patient data is collected, stored, accessed, and transmitted. Many clinics are unsure whether their current IT configuration actually meets these obligations. A misconfigured backup, an unencrypted laptop, or an overly broad user permission can create a compliance gap that only becomes visible during an audit or a breach.
EMR downtime halts everything
When your electronic medical record system goes down, your clinic stops. Physicians cannot access patient histories, staff cannot process billing, and the waiting room backs up. Most healthcare IT failures are not dramatic server crashes. They are slow database performance, failed updates, or connectivity issues between the EMR and peripheral devices that degrade the entire workflow.
Staff turnover and access management
Healthcare clinics experience regular staff turnover among MOAs, locum physicians, and clinical support roles. Each change requires provisioning or revoking access to the EMR, billing systems, email, and shared drives. Without a structured process, former employees retain access longer than they should and new staff wait days for the credentials they need.
Ransomware targeting healthcare
Healthcare practices are disproportionately targeted by ransomware because attackers know patient data is time-sensitive and practices will pay to restore access. A single phishing email opened by a busy MOA can encrypt your entire system. Recovery without proper backups can take weeks and cost tens of thousands of dollars.
Integrating clinical devices and peripherals
Modern clinics rely on a network of connected devices: diagnostic equipment, digital imaging systems, label printers, fax-to-email gateways, and patient check-in tablets. Each device needs to work reliably with the EMR and the network. When one link breaks, the cascade disrupts the entire clinical workflow.
Healthcare Software We Support
OSCAR ProPrimary
Open-source EMR widely used by BC physicians. We manage the server infrastructure, handle updates, configure backups, and ensure OSCAR Pro runs reliably whether hosted on-premise or in the cloud.
Accuro by QHR
Full-featured EMR used by GP and specialist practices across BC. We support Accuro deployments including server configuration, workstation optimization, and integration with billing and lab systems.
Telus Health EMR (PS Suite, Med Access)
The Telus Health EMR family is common in BC primary care. We manage the underlying infrastructure, coordinate with Telus Health on application-level issues, and ensure your network supports the platform reliably.
Mois (formerly CHR)
Cloud-based EMR gaining adoption among BC physicians. We handle network optimization, single sign-on configuration, and ensure the clinic's connectivity can support a cloud-first EMR without performance issues.
Microsoft 365 and Teams
Secure email, document management, and team communication for healthcare practices. We configure Microsoft 365 tenants with healthcare-appropriate security policies, data loss prevention, and retention settings.
How Nexanova Supports Healthcare Clinics
Frequently Asked Questions
We manage the full infrastructure stack: servers, networking, workstations, backups, and security. For application-level EMR issues, we coordinate directly with the vendor on your behalf. Most EMR problems we see are actually infrastructure problems, which means we resolve them without needing to escalate.
Yes. We document your IT configuration, security policies, access controls, and backup procedures in a format that supports audit readiness. When an audit request comes in, you have the evidence you need without scrambling to reconstruct it.
We can. We have supported EMR migrations between OSCAR, Accuro, and Telus Health platforms. We handle the infrastructure side: server provisioning, data migration coordination, network configuration, and user training support. We work alongside your EMR vendor to ensure the transition is clean.
Critical issues during business hours receive immediate response. Our monitoring detects most failures before staff report them. For issues that do require on-site intervention, we dispatch the same business day. We also design your environment with redundancy so that a single point of failure does not shut down the entire clinic.
