Your Healthcare Hosting Provider Says They're Compliant, Can They Prove It?

Your Healthcare Hosting Provider Says They're Compliant, Can They Prove It?

Author: John Lynn July 13, 2026 Duration: 30:33

In a recent Healthcare IT Today interview, Kelly Goolsby, Director of Solution Architecture at Nexcess, says that many clients come to them after trying another managed hosting provider who made impressive claims but failed to follow through on compliance, security, and other promises.

Claiming to be a "show me" kind of guy, Goolsby recommends that clients not rely on promises made by potential vendors, but ask for proof and transparency. Check the logs to make sure that the expected antivirus software and other security measures are present. Some hosting providers are now being punished for non-compliance with HIPAA and other regulations. Migration to a new hosting service can take six months, so clients should try to choose a reliable vendor at the start.
