Martin Thompson
IT Manager
It is my job to manage the entire technology infrastructure and keep it running. With over 15 years in the Information Technology field and many years prior to that in school and as a hobby before beginning my tenure here at MNSPC, I am able to ensure our systems are available when we need them.
In a world where more and more businesses are trying to move to a paperless, or as close to it as possible, work place, Microneurosurgical Consultants is well on it's way. We currently utilize two separate yet integrated software systems from GE to further that goal. Practice Management and Electronic Medical Records are the two systems that are most critical to our clinic's success in both exceptional patient care and that rapid move towards paperless functionality.
These two core systems, along with several ancillary components, exist on a solid backbone server platform comprised of IBM Blade Servers. In conjunction with these are other systems that we use to ensure high reliability and availability so that when patients need to be seen, whether in the office for regular visits or in the OR for surgical visits, our doctors and PA's have access to the information they need WHEN they need it.
In addition, we utilize many state of the art systems from IP phones to Power Over Ethernet to tape-less backups and many other leading edge technologies to ensure the stability and availability of our network environment.
I also manage Research Coordination and HIPAA Security. Rest assured that our patient's critical and personal information is secure and guarded at all times. The research that we do here at Micro, while isolated to our actual patients, may one day reach out to many others and help improve the quality of their lives!
