Farmhouse Networking works hard to make the best customer service experience possible. Even when the tech issue takes multiple tries to resolve (not because of their service, but because of the specific app that needs troubleshooting) Farmhouse goes the extra mile to figure out the problem and fix it. Highly recommend!

Scott is very professional, supportive and most important kind. HASL has relied on Scott's services for quite a few years now. I recently took over a position that required numerous calls and emails to Scott for information, support and guidance resolving a wide range of issues I had no idea how to approach. Farmhouse Networking has saved us time and money over and over again. We are hoping to have our Board of Directors approve HASL moving our phone services to Farmhouse Networking soon.

Scott is always quick to respond and gets the job done even if it takes some extra work. If anything goes wrong later, he is more than happy to come back out again and keep working until the problem is solved. He is our tech guy for my work place and we have been so happy using him.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Why do medical practices need a specialized IT provider rather than a general IT company?

Healthcare IT is not general IT with a HIPAA checkbox added at the end. A medical practice runs on specialized software – EHR platforms, billing systems, diagnostic device integrations, telehealth tools – that a general IT provider will not know how to support. Your IT partner needs to understand clinical workflows well enough to know that a front desk workstation going down during patient hours is a genuine operational emergency. They need to know how to configure a network that keeps patient data secure without breaking the tools your staff depends on every day. And they need to be able to speak with your EHR vendor on your behalf without you acting as the interpreter. That is what we do.

What happens to patient care when IT systems go down?

Depending on the failure, the impact ranges from staff frustration to a complete halt in patient intake, scheduling, and documentation. A downed EHR system means staff cannot access patient records, document encounters, or process orders. A network failure can take down every workstation in the practice simultaneously. For practices running diagnostic equipment connected to the network, a connectivity failure can delay or prevent clinical workflows entirely. The answer is not to accept this risk – it is to have proactive monitoring in place so problems are identified and resolved before they affect patient hours, and to have a recovery plan ready for when they do.

What types of medical practices do you support?

We support the full range of outpatient specialties. Our deepest concentration of clients is in orthotics and prosthetics and chiropractic, where we have supported multiple practices over several years. We also serve family medicine, mental health practices, senior living communities, podiatry, hearing care, sports medicine, and comprehensive health clinics. The client roster on this page reflects that breadth. If your specialty is not listed, reach out – the IT fundamentals that make a practice run reliably are consistent across outpatient care settings.

Which EHR and practice management platforms do you support?

We have hands-on experience with Medisoft, Tebra, ChiroTouch, and OPIE, along with a range of other line-of-business platforms specific to individual practice types. EHR support covers the full scope of what IT involvement actually looks like in a practice – troubleshooting connectivity and performance issues, coordinating with your EHR vendor directly so you do not have to, configuring integrations between your EHR and billing or scheduling platforms, and ensuring your network and workstations are configured to meet your software vendor’s requirements. You do not need to be the go-between between your IT and your software vendors. We handle that.

Do you support HIPAA-compliant telehealth infrastructure?

Yes. We set up and support HIPAA-compliant telehealth environments including platform configuration, network requirements, and the access controls and encryption needed to keep remote patient encounters compliant. If your practice is using a consumer-grade video tool for telehealth without a BAA in place, that is a compliance gap we can identify and remediate as part of our initial assessment.

Can you connect medical devices and diagnostic equipment to our network?

Yes. Connecting diagnostic equipment, imaging systems, and specialized medical devices to a practice network is part of our support scope. This includes ensuring those devices communicate correctly with your EHR or practice management system, that they are properly segmented on the network for security purposes, and that connectivity issues that affect device performance are diagnosed and resolved.

How do you handle staff onboarding and offboarding?

We manage the full IT side of both processes. For new hires, we provision accounts, configure device access, and set up the applications and permissions your staff member needs from day one. For departing employees, we deprovision access promptly – a critical step in regulated environments where former employees retaining active credentials is a direct HIPAA risk. We use custom onboarding and offboarding forms tailored to your practice’s systems and workflows, so nothing falls through the cracks during staff transitions regardless of how busy your office is when they happen.

Do you support billing systems and insurance workflow integrations?

Yes. Many practices run separate billing platforms alongside their EHR, and the IT layer that connects those systems – integrations, data flows, access permissions, connectivity – is part of our support scope. If your billing platform is having trouble communicating with your EHR, or if a software update breaks an integration, we handle the diagnosis and resolution rather than leaving your billing staff to troubleshoot it independently.

How do you prioritize support requests from a healthcare practice?

All support tickets are triaged based on business impact. In a clinical environment, issues that affect patient-facing systems – front desk workstations, check-in workflows, EHR access, payment processing – are treated as high-priority because the downstream effect on patient care is direct and immediate. We answer the phone live during business hours so you are not waiting in a ticketing queue while patients are sitting in your waiting room.

Do you support multi-location practices?

Yes. We support both single-location practices and multi-site groups. For practices with multiple locations, we can structure billing as a group account or separately by location depending on how your practice is organized. Our service delivery is consistent across all locations – the same monitoring, the same security stack, the same support processes – so you are not getting a different level of service depending on which office you are calling from.

We already have someone on staff who handles IT. Do we still need you?

Possibly – it depends on what that person is being asked to do. In many practices, the person handling IT is the office manager, a medical assistant, or a lab technician who has become the de facto tech support person by default rather than by training. That arrangement creates risk for the practice and burnout for the individual. If your practice does have a dedicated IT person, a co-managed arrangement lets them focus on day-to-day staff support while we handle monitoring, security, compliance, and complex projects. Either way, we are happy to have an honest conversation about whether bringing us in would actually add value in your specific situation.

Can you help us prepare for a HIPAA audit or OCR investigation?

Yes. Our HIPAA compliance service includes audit-ready documentation – risk assessments, remediation roadmaps, policy frameworks, and incident response records – maintained on an ongoing basis so you are not scrambling to reconstruct documentation if an investigation is triggered. Every managed IT client receives documented incident response procedures in advance. If an OCR audit or state-level investigation occurs, we provide documentation support and participate in that process alongside you.

What does the free network evaluation include?

The free network evaluation is a review of your practice’s current IT environment – your network, workstations, servers, software, security posture, and backup configuration. We identify gaps, risks, and any immediate issues that need attention, and we provide a clear summary of findings. There is no cost and no obligation. It gives you a factual picture of where your practice stands before making any decisions about IT support.

How do I get started?

Fill out the form on this page to tell us about your practice. We will schedule a free network evaluation, review your environment, and come back with a clear picture of what your practice needs and what working with us would look like. There is no cost to the evaluation and no obligation to proceed.

And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others. As the Scriptures say,
“They share freely and give generously to the poor. Their good deeds will be remembered forever.”
For God is the one who provides seed for the farmer and then bread to eat. In the same way, he will provide and increase your resources and then produce a great harvest of generosity in you. - 2 Corinthians 9:8-10
