Richardson, TEXAS – June 6, 2006 --- The Health Industry Council (THIC) has agreed to a partnership with Hostnet to be their sole technology provider. “We welcome this partnership because Hostnet is bringing us into the 21st century with technologies that will give us the tools to be a lot more efficient here at the Council’s office” said Nancy Williams President of THIC.
“Hostnet's entrance into the medical industry was specifically designed to allow doctors to focus on caring for their patients. Our analysis of this industry quickly revealed that too many practices were struggling with information technology and it was becoming a burden rather than a tool. After spending a tremendous amount of time with our first few doctors we brought together the tools, people and process to deliver a powerful technology solution to the medical industry. Today this is our fastest growing market sector and we are excited to offer our services to the members of The Health Industry Council under our new partnership,” said Matt Ramsey, President and CEO of Hostnet. “Our medical solution addresses regulatory HIPAA requirements and builds a foundation for choosing an EMR, PACS and Practice Management software solution,” added Matt Ramsey.
Hostnet offers a new approach to managing information technology services by providing the technology, hardware and support services to growing medical practices at a fraction of the costs of hiring a full-time IT person.
“Hostnet is committed to the mission of THIC because it calls attention to the size and scope of the health industry, the region’s largest and strongest economic sector, and is an advocate for the industry among non-healthcare leadership in this country and abroad,” said Matt Ramsey.
