Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon wherein individuals who are taken hostage or are subjected to prolonged captivity develop an unexpected bond or alliance with their captors. This alliance, marked by positive feelings towards the captor and sometimes even a defense of their actions, can help the victims survive. Historically, the term originated from a bank robbery in Stockholm, Sweden. In 1973, hostages defended their captors and resisted assistance from law enforcement officials. (Lambert, 2023)

We see the same mentality every day: healthcare groups held hostage by poor performing IT departments or vendors. Subsequently, they even defend those same groups despite the productivity and security hassles.

By entrusting the right IT provider like Stringfellow, clinics can avoid the pitfalls of being “in love” with an underperforming IT team and break free from your technology captors today. On top of being free, we empower your whole team to perform like they have never been able to perform before, with the best technology and solution stack available.

The Problem with Traditional IT in Healthcare

Celebrating quick recoveries from IT downtime? Ask yourself: why did you go down in the first place?!

IT should be transparent to successful businesses. It should be like plumbing or electrical in that it always “just works” and outages are after hours and scheduled for weeks in advanced. If you’re having outages during business working hours, do the math for what it costs the business in terms of lost productivity time and reputation damage. Then decide if it’s worth it. It’s probably not if you have a group of any substantial size.

What is the chance that the best healthcare IT provider just happens to be in your city? Chances are it’s pretty slim. With clients in over 26 states, Stringfellow Technology Group is the best healthcare managed IT services provider in the country, and we have the track record to prove it. If you’re having frequent outages, even if they recover quick, you’re still playing in the wrong ballfield and need a provider group who can help prevent outages all together for your entire enterprise.

The Consequences of Settling

A lot of healthcare groups settle. They settle for local support or a smaller group. They settle for only buying basic IT service from a basic IT provider.

Settling for less in the realm of managed services for healthcare has significant repercussions:

• Hindered growth of healthcare clinics
• Reduced profitability due to inefficiencies
• Employees struggling with outdated or malfunctioning technology
• Impacted patient care due to disruptions
