The ROI of Managed IT for Healthcare: 8 Reasons to Outsource Your Tech Now

Running a healthcare or DME/HME business means managing patient care, operations, inventory, and strict compliance standards, all at once.

That’s why more providers are turning to outsourced IT services to lighten the load and stay protected. Outsourcing your IT to a trusted managed service provider (MSP), especially one with healthcare expertise like VGM Forbin, can save you time, reduce costs, protect sensitive data, and keep your business running smoothly.

So, let's break down the ROI of managed IT and explain why it’s one of the smartest long-term decisions healthcare organizations can make.

Stop spending time on IT problems. Start focusing on patient care.

1. Lower Your IT Costs Without Cutting Corners

Hiring, training, and maintaining an in-house IT team is expensive. Between salaries, benefits, software licenses, and ongoing training, costs can escalate quickly.

Managed IT services provide a predictable monthly rate that covers everything—from 24/7 monitoring to data backups and cybersecurity.

Key Cost-Saving Benefits:

• Fixed monthly pricing = predictable budgeting
• Reduced need for in-house hires and training
• Lower risk of expensive downtime or ransomware

2. Meet HIPAA & Security Requirements with Less Stress

Compliance isn’t optional in healthcare—it’s critical, and HIPAA violations can result in steep penalties. But staying compliant while juggling day-to-day care and operations? That’s a heavy lift.

With new cybersecurity mandates now part of HIPAA enforcement, managed IT providers like VGM Forbin can help you:

• Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
• Maintain encryption protocols
• Manage regular data backups and audits
• Provide disaster recovery plans

3. Improve Uptime, Productivity & Peace of Mind

When your systems go down, your business grinds to a halt. Whether it’s a software crash, server issue, or ransomware, the time it takes to fix it can cost you big—thousands of dollars per hour, in fact.

Benefits of Proactive Managed IT:

• 24/7 monitoring prevents outages
• Remote and onsite support means help is always available
• Updates, patches, and device management handled for you

4. Avoid Cyberattacks That Can Shut You Down

Healthcare remains the #1 target for cyberattacks—and the stakes are high. A breach doesn’t just damage your systems; it can also result in massive fines and lost trust.

Managed IT includes:

• Firewalls and threat detection
• Patch management and vulnerability scans
• Secure Microsoft 365 integration
• Training for your team to spot phishing

5. Focus on Patient Care, Not Password Resets

Your team didn’t go into healthcare to troubleshoot network printers or fix login errors. A managed IT partner frees up your internal staff to focus on patients, growth, and innovation.
