Over the Counter
by Ronald Conlin
Welcome to our weekly column focused on the healthcare industry.
Here at Nexa1, we view our role in technology much like a physician, we consult with our clients, take a history, review symptoms, schedule tests, and prescribe a solution. Sometimes that solution is as simple as taking medication (patching a system). Sometimes it requires a more complex procedure, like surgery (replacing systems).

Whatever the needs of your healthcare practice, we strive to prescribe the most secure, cost-effective solution that produces quality outcomes and long-term success of our clients.
