## **FAQs**Frequently Asked Questions About Healthcare IT Services in New Orleans

### Do you have actual HIPAA compliance experience with Louisiana healthcare practices?

Yes — extensively. We deliver the full HIPAA program for primary care, dental, OB/GYN, dermatology, behavioral health, surgical centers, imaging centers, and lab operations. Annual Security Risk Assessment (45 CFR §164.308), written Privacy/Security/Breach Notification policies, BAAs with every vendor touching PHI, encryption at rest and in transit, MFA on clinical accounts, access logging with monthly review, tested backup, incident response plans we've actually tested.

### Can you integrate with Epic at Ochsner, LCMC, Our Lady of the Lake, or other hospital systems?

Yes. Care Everywhere for clinical data exchange, EpicLink portal access, direct secure messaging protocols, lab order/result exchange. We coordinate directly with hospital community-partner IT teams on the integration setup and ongoing maintenance. Most common Louisiana integrations: Ochsner Epic, LCMC Epic, Our Lady of the Lake Epic, Tulane Medical Center, North Oaks Medical Center.

### What EHR/practice management systems do you support?

Athena, eClinicalWorks, NextGen, AdvancedMD, Practice Fusion, Kareo, Allscripts, ModMed (specialty practices), Epic Community Connect, PrognoCIS, plus specialty platforms (Dentrix, Eaglesoft, Open Dental, Curve for dental; ChiroTouch for chiropractic; etc.). We don't sell you a specific EHR — we work with what you have or help you evaluate options based on your specialty and practice size.

### How do you handle medical imaging — PACS, DICOM, modality integration?

We work with the major imaging vendors (Carestream, Sirona, Hologic, GE, Philips, Siemens) and PACS/RIS platforms (Merge, Sectra, Visage, Intelerad). We handle modality worklists so techs don't hand-enter patient demographics, image transfer between modalities and PACS, integration with practice management for orders/results, and the secure delivery of reports to referring physicians.

### What does the OCR audit process look like and are you ready to support it?

OCR (Office for Civil Rights) audits range from desk audits (document submission) to on-site reviews. We maintain all the documentation an OCR auditor requests: Security Risk Assessment, written policies, training records, BAA inventory, access controls evidence, audit logs, breach response procedures, incident response test records. Several of our clients have been through audits with our documentation; we know what auditors actually look for.

### Can you support telehealth platforms (Zoom for Healthcare, Doxy.me, others) properly?

Yes. Telehealth platforms require specific HIPAA configurations — proper BAAs, end-to-end encryption where applicable, no recording without consent, audit trails, and integration with EHR for documentation. We've deployed Zoom for Healthcare, Doxy.me, AthenaTelehealth, eClinicalWorks Telehealth, and Updox across Louisiana practices.

### How do you prevent ransomware specifically targeting healthcare practices?

Healthcare is the #1 ransomware target sector — and the average healthcare ransomware incident now costs $11M+ in total impact (ransom + recovery + breach notification + lost revenue). Our healthcare cybersecurity stack: EDR on every device, MFA on all admin and clinical accounts, immutable offline backups, network segmentation (clinical network separated from guest Wi-Fi), monthly security awareness training, tested incident response plan. Multi-layer defense.

### What's the typical cost for managed IT + HIPAA compliance for a Louisiana medical practice?

For a 5-provider practice with 15-20 staff: typically $2,000-$4,500/month for full managed IT + HIPAA compliance program. Larger multi-provider groups scale higher. The HIPAA-specific work (Security Risk Assessment, BAAs, policies, training, documentation) is included in our healthcare engagements, not a separate line item. Compared to fines ($50k-$1.5M+ per breach), the IT investment is small.

Since partnering with Ener Systems, the biggest benefit has been our ability to fully onboard new team members in just a few hours and receive immediate remote support whenever needed. We no longer need an in-house IT person - their proactive support keeps our operations running smoothly and allows us to stay focused on serving our clients.

What sets Ener Systems apart is their responsiveness and communication. Unlike other firms we've worked with, their team takes action quickly and genuinely cares about our success. In an industry like ours that depends entirely on IT, their speed and reliability make all the difference.

I never have to think or worry about IT anymore. Ener Systems has it all under control. My experience so far with Ener Systems has been nothing but amazing; they have consistently gone above and beyond our expectations. René, the technician that works with us from Ener Systems is one of the best engineers that I've ever worked with. He is forward thinking and plans out what we're going to need in the months and years to come instead of thinking only quick fix and short term. He's taken care of everything and it really has made my life a heck of a lot easier. The capabilities they bring to the table are everything we were looking for. They are dedicated, very professional and always available. There hasn't been one time that I have called Ener Systems where I didn't get a prompt response. I've called him late in the evening and early in the morning outside of normal business hours and they're always available and willing to help in whatever I need.

WOW! That is all I can say about René and the team at Ener Systems. It's so nice to know that my entire network is handled so I can focus on my business. I've worked with a number of other computer consultants in the past and no one can touch their level of service or expertise. Ener Systems does things differently. Instead of simply resolving the issue at hand with a temporary fix, they give me options that will enhance functionality. Ener Systems is always looking out for my best interest. I have the peace of mind knowing I have someone to call who will get us back up and running ASAP if something goes down. You almost can't put a price on it. I trust Ener Systems and have a personal relationship with the owner. That's important to me because it gives me confidence that I can completely trust her.

Ener Systems is Very Sensitive to the Fact that We Don't Have the Big Bucks to Spend on IT; They Bend Over Backwards to Make Something Work without a Huge Outlay of Cash. René, my contact at Ener Systems, always knows what's going on with my network and does a lot of the maintenance and support...

Ener Systems is Very Sensitive to the Fact that We Don't Have the Big Bucks to Spend on IT; They Bend Over Backwards to Make Something Work without a Huge Outlay of Cash. René, my contact at Ener Systems, always knows what's going on with my network and does a lot of the maintenance and support in the background so we aren't interrupted. Sometimes I just cannot believe how on top of things they are! I remember calling or sending René an e-mail on a Saturday night and he responded to me immediately. I don't even remember what the issue was but he was on it - I mean he was right there! If I decide that I need to reset my server, he's on the phone with me telling me my server is down! It's all done remotely and that's very convenient for us. If there's something that goes wrong, I call and explain what the problem is and he has it fixed either by phone remotely or sends a technician in to take care of it and in a very timely fashion. I certainly have no qualms about recommending them.
