Prepare Now for
New HIPAA Standards
To stay compliant with the 2025 HIPAA updates, covered entities and their partners must implement specific mandatory changes—primarily affecting the Security Rule, Privacy Rule, and Breach Notification Rule.
While HIPAA has seen minimal updates since 1996, with modest revisions in 2013, the 2025 changes mark a significant strengthening of the Security Rule requirements.

Healthcare Services
by Certified CIO
At Certified CIO, solving tough IT challenges is what we do best. We partner with healthcare organizations to provide expert, certified CIO leadership—without the overhead of a full-time hire.
Fractional & Interim CIO Services
Many healthcare organizations don't need, or can't justify, the cost of a full-time Chief Information Officer. But that doesn't mean they can afford to go without strategic IT leadership.
Certified CIO provides fractional (part-time) and interim (temporary) CIOs with decades of healthcare IT experience. Whether you're:
- between hires and need someone to fill the gap,
- opening new facilities or expanding service lines,
- navigating complex compliance requirements,
- or facing an IT overhaul you can't afford to get wrong.
Our Certified CIOs deliver everything you’d expect from a full-time executive — only it’s scalable, budget-friendly, and entirely on your terms.
EHR/EMR Optimization & Selection
Choosing the right EHR system-- or getting more out of the one you already have-- can make or break clinical efficiency.
Throughout every stage of the progress, Certified CIO helps you avoid costly mistakes and deliver better outcomes for staff and patients by:
- evaluating and selecting the right platform (Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, etc.),
- redesigning workflows to improve efficiency and satisfaction,
- building in interoperability and compliance from the start,
- Negotiating contracts and overseeing implementation so nothing slips through the cracks.
We make sure your EHR supports your goals—not the other way around.
HIPAA & Cybersecurity Compliance
Cyber threats are real, and so are regulatory penalties. Certified CIO helps you stay protected, compliant, and focused on patient care.
We evaluate your current systems and policies, pinpoint risks, and create a practical roadmap for meeting HIPPA, HITECH, and HITRUST standards. Our services include:
- comprehensive risk assessments and security audits,
- action plans for HIPPA, HITECH, and HITRUST compliance,
- staff training and process improvements,
- encryption and data protection without slowing down your operations.
We're not here to check boxes. We're here to ensure your IT environment is secure, efficient, and legally sound.
IT Strategic Planning & Roadmapping
Certified CIO helps you align IT investments with your business goals through strategic, long-range planning tailored to healthcare.
We work with organizations to:
- build 12–36 month IT roadmaps aligned to clinical and operational priorities,
- support mergers, expansions, and transitions to value-based care,
- reduce risk, improve ROI, and eliminate reactive tech decisions,
- plan infrastructure investments that are scalable and future-ready.
Whether you're scaling, consolidating, or modernizing, we provide the strategy and structure to move it forward with confidence.
Digital Transformation & Telehealth Readiness
Certified CIO helps you plan, implement, and optimize your online healthcare spaces--- with security, integration, and clinical workflows at the forefront.
Our team guides you through:
- deploying and scaling patient portals,
- integrating new tools with your existing EHR and workflows,
- designing HIPPA-compliant systems with secure data flows
- and enhancing clinical efficiency through smart tech adoption.
Your technology should work for your team and your patients, not the other way around.
Vendor & Contract Management
Certified CIO ensures you're not overpaying for under-performing services. We keep you informed, empowered, and contractually protected.
We'll provide support through:
- vendor evaluations and performance bench-marking
- contract reviews, renegotiation's, and renewals
- clear reporting on cost savings, SLAs, and ROI,
- and full oversight across telecom, software, MSPs, and cloud vendors.
Your business shouldn't be left to chance. At Certified CIO, we bring structure, transparency, and leverage—so you stay in control.
For Healthcare Professionals
Certified CIO supports a wide range of healthcare organizations—from small private practices and multi-site clinics to FQHCs, ACOs, and large hospital systems. Whatever your size or structure, we’ve got you covered.
Our CIOs aren’t here to replace your team—they’re here to strengthen it. We work alongside your internal staff, fill leadership gaps, and provide high-level strategic oversight. Think of us as an extension of your team, not a replacement for it.
We don’t just show up, drop off a report, and walk away. Certified CIOs step into leadership roles with real accountability—guiding everything from decision-making to execution. You get an experienced healthcare CIO who understands not only technology, but also compliance, operations, and strategy.
We begin with a discovery phase to understand your goals, systems, and pain points. From there, we craft a tailored plan based on your company’s needs. Our services span a wide range—from building strategic roadmaps and implementing compliance initiatives to conducting vendor reviews or leading a full-scale digital overhaul.
Yes. We work directly with your EHR and IT vendors—Epic, athenahealth, eClinicalWorks, and more—to manage contracts, resolve issues, and keep performance on track.
We can move fast—most clients are up and running within 3–5 business days. Schedule a free consultation, and we’ll build an engagement plan that fits your timeline and goals.
It's Not Just Our Tagline.
We’ve Got IT Handled—because the tech world shouldn’t feel like a ball of yarn. We unravel the complicated stuff so you can stay focused on patients, progress, and what matters most.
Integrating Existing Camera System with Our Systems – Piney Branch Golf Course
A client approached us with a previously installed camera system from another provider. Although functional, the system lacked seamless integration, making management and access challenging for the client.
Camera System for Club House Security – Green Spring Valley Hunt Club
The client faced significant challenges with their outdated security camera system, which had become unreliable and ineffective over time. Frequent camera outages, poor image quality, and limited coverage areas compromised their ability to maintain effective security monitoring. This disruption not only posed a security risk but created ongoing frustration for the client’s team, who struggled to manage and operate the failing system.
New Camera System for Manufacturing Warehouse – New Concept Technologies
A large manufacturing company operated without a security camera system, leaving their facility vulnerable to potential risks. The absence of surveillance exposed their valuable assets and sizable workforce to significant security concerns. The client needed a reliable, comprehensive solution to protect personnel and property while preventing theft and safety violations.
