Client Testimonials

Rated 5 out of 5

more personal approach

"Prior to working with TUCU, we had an IT Support Company but did not feel we were getting much direction from them, and they were not responsive to us. We were ready for a change. We wanted to work with a smaller company that would provide a more personal approach. We evaluated several companies and found TUCU to be transparent in their approach to estimating and explaining our IT project needs...recommend TUCU to any small or mid sized organization seeking personalized IT support."

FAQ

No. EMR providers secure the patient database, not the devices accessing it. You need endpoint protection on all computers, tablets, and phones.

Your patient database remains safe in the cloud, but you cannot access it because all your office computers, network, and digital imaging systems are encrypted by ransomware. Most practices experience 3-7 days of complete downtime while rebuilding their IT infrastructure, costing $15,000-50,000 in lost revenue plus recovery costs. Cloud-hosted EMRs protect the database but don’t prevent ransomware from attacking your local network and devices.

Yes. We manage IT security across multiple locations regardless of whether you use the same or different EMR platforms at each site. Our services include secure connectivity between locations, centralized access management, consistent security policies across all sites, and coordinated backup strategies for multi-location practices.
Our average response time is 15 minutes during business hours, with priority support for issues affecting patient care delivery. We understand that downtime in healthcare and dental practices directly impacts patients, so technology problems affecting appointments, EMR access, or digital imaging receive immediate attention.
