What is Information Technology Service Management?

ITSM is a customer-focused approach to IT service management, emphasizing continual improvement by utilizing a strategic approach.

ITSM is the integration of IT service management within an organization. This approach goes beyond traditional IT support, which is making sure an organization’s employees have access to the technologies they need. Instead, ITSM describes how all of an organization’s information technology functions are managed by an integrated team.

From auditing your existing systems, tools and staff to implementing a strategic solution, ITSM helps IT teams work together in a way that supports the bigger operational goals of the organization.

Introducing the HITSM Core Framework

HITSM (Healthcare ITSM) reviewed resources required for IT roles and developed an IT strategy to meet the organization’s technology goals.

Our objective is to continue to stay ahead of technology trends and training, bringing our clients continued innovation, service updates and modernization.

Healthcare ITSM will help your organization develop a strategy for each of the core roles in the ITSM Services Framework.

Proper Healthcare IT Service Management
Requires a Strategic Approach

It is the goal of Healthcare ITSM (HITSM) is to provide a smooth transition from Corporate Technology (current MSP) to Healthcare ITSM (HITSM) as the future Managed Service Provider (MSP).

In the transition, HITSM completed a multiphase process to enter into a newly acquired IT environment and take over its operations. The 3-phase process encompassed several tasks, from obtaining environment access and identifying “gaps” to documenting the environment for the incoming support team.

3-Phase Process

Discovery: review the organization's current technology Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), vendors and leadership, and user concerns.
Assessment: provide a remote and onsite review of the network, software, and hardware to develop a gap analysis. Gaps are differences between the current operations of an environment and established best practices, as well as informal customer processes versus formal activities documented in the account contract.
Operational Integration: the final transition phase. It is where the team is prepared to take over the account's environment.
