Services We Offer

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.
