Headline: LewisColorado is just what the doctor ordered

SubHead: Local IT firm specializes in medical office support

The lifeblood of most businesses is in their technology systems, and John Lewis knows that better than most people. As founder and president of LewisColorado, a provider of professional computer and network system services, John has helped many companies maximize the way they do business by protecting, enhancing and maintaining their information technology.

During the past couple of years, LewisColorado has earned the confidence and trust of health care professionals by servicing and managing the challenging technology needs in a variety of medical practices throughout the metro area.

“I'm as passionate about data and business processes as doctors are passionate about the health of their patients,” said John, who counts Integrated Ear, Nose and Throat clinic of Lone Tree as one of his most satisfied clients.

“LewisColorado set up our new practice on time and on budget,” said Deborah Sorensen, finance manager for Integrated Ear, Nose and Throat. “Their technicians are professional, friendly and always available in emergency situations. I would highly recommend LewisColorado to any new or existing medical practice.”

Other prominent medical clients include RidgeGate Facial Aesthetic Surgery, Advanced Ear, Nose and Throat clinic and RidgeGate Hearing Clinic. Recently LewisColorado tackled a big challenge: Creating and implementing a plan for one medical office to split into two, all within the span of a weekend.

“The medical practice stopped seeing patients Friday afternoon and by Monday morning we had everything set up for the two new offices to resume seeing patients,” said John. “We set up the server, firewalls and workstations on budget and on time.”

Although availability and functionality are paramount, LewisColorado also knows that medical practices need special services that go beyond conventional information technology support. As such, LewisColorado has worked with McKesson Corporation software products and supports ChartLogic(tm), a voice activated transcription system that is revolutionizing the way health care professionals track patient care.

“This is an incredible application for medical practices, but it requires the right kind of technology to support it,” said John, who works closely with ChartLogic(tm) as a regional partner. “This electronic technology alleviates the burden of copious amounts of paperwork and filing equipment, and it streamlines work processes.”

The ChartLogic(tm) paperless electronic system is HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability & Accountability Act) compliant and allows physicians to speak into a computer, which automatically types the notes directly into the patient's medical file. One of the most significant benefits is a reduction in costly errors, along with a tremendous time savings for physicians and their employees.

“Currently we are working with a number of medical offices to set up and install the infrastructure to support this software,” said John. “Once that's accomplished, we will be there to provide dependable and timely technical and maintenance support.”

Over the course of serving many small to mid-sized businesses, LewisColorado has earned a reputation for dependability and accessibility.

“I can usually respond within an hour to a service call,” said John. “When a client wants something fixed, I just want to fix it.”

He's also a strong proponent of utilizing as many existing components of a client's IT infrastructure as possible and minimizing costs through streamlining often complicated work processes.

“I take a close look at a company's work flow. I'm really into productivity. I won't recommend an expensive technical solution if it ultimately won't improve the company's bottom-line,” said John. “I'm into productivity, not into technology just for the sake of technology.”

LewisColorado was founded by John Lewis in 2000 to provide professional computer support to medical and health care practices in the Denver metro area. Services include HIPAA compliant workstations and servers, medical application support, data and voice equipment maintenance, and computer and phone cabling, with 24/7 support in Arapahoe and Douglas counties.
