Demonstrating its market leadership and IT portfolio depth, Ingram Micro Inc.’s Healthcare Division recently announced its “Physician Outreach Total Solution,” a unique and streamlined approach to addressing the growing business and technology needs of the complex healthcare market.

Available now, Ingram Micro’s new Physician Outreach Total Solution is built upon a comprehensive framework of key technology and services components purpose-built for use within the healthcare market.

By leveraging Ingram Micro’s Physician Outreach Total Solution, channel partners are able to market, sell, deploy and support a growing portfolio of health IT (HIT) solutions. Technology categories addressed through Ingram Micro’s new program include infrastructure, document management, electronic health records (EHR), mobility, telehealth, cloud services/applications, IT support, as well as EHR assessment, HIPAA risk analysis and financial services.

Additionally, channel partners can tap into the dedicated and field deployable resources offered through Ingram Micro’s Healthcare Division which includes a physician, business development managers, program managers and marketing managers. Ingram Micro’s Healthcare Partner Network (http://imhealthhcpn.com/) is also a great resource for channel partners to identify and collaborate with a network of proven IT health specialists.

“The healthcare market, particularly hospitals, physicians and dental practices, represents an explosive sales and service opportunity for channel partners who know how to use technology to improve patient care, reduce costs and optimize the business,” says Michael Humke, executive director, Vertical Markets, Healthcare and Public Sector, Ingram Micro U.S. “We believe our new Physician Outreach Total Solution program further simplifies health IT sales and support services by delivering a significant business advantage to channel partners that is only available from Ingram Micro.”
