Healthcare Penetration Testing

What happens when a healthcare system is hit by a cyberattack? Hospitals sever connections to their online systems. As a result, electronic health records systems, patient portals (which enable patients to view their medical records and communicate with their providers), phone systems, and various systems used to order certain tests, procedures, and medications become unavailable. Non-emergent procedures, tests, and appointments are paused. Staff don’t have patient orders and can’t page doctors. Medical, nursing, and clinical teams have to utilize manual processes or documentation methods that they moved away from 20 years ago. Switching to paper records and processing everything by hand, are again in place for various clinical activities, such as dispensing medication, inputting health records, ordering, and completing diagnostic tests and procedures. It's a disaster you never want to face.

HubSpot QuickBooks Integration

QuickBooks Online is software for managing your business finances and accounting. HubSpot is software for managing your customer relationships and sales. Sometimes, you might want information from your QuickBooks accounting to be shared with your HubSpot customer system, or vice versa. To make this possible, there is a special computer program (an app) that can connect QuickBooks and HubSpot together. This app acts as a bridge, allowing data to flow between the two systems. You can find this connecting app in the HubSpot Marketplace, which is HubSpot's own store for add-ons. The app covers most of the common data you'd want to share between accounting and customer systems. However, the pre-built ready-to-use integration app cannot cover absolutely everything that your business needs. This is where custom QuickBooks and HubSpot integration enters the scene.

QuickBooks Shipping Integration

If you use shipping services from UPS, FedEx, or USPS carrier systems, QuickBooks provide a Shipping Manager that natively integrates with them. After integration, you can schedule and manage your shipments directly from QuickBooks. But step out of line and you are not covered. Business users loudly complain that this shipment integration is only available in QuickBooks Desktop, while others mention international shipment limitations and challenges, even in that version. The native pre-built integration with limited shipment providers is also useless if you want to use different shipment providers or shipment/tracking software. This is where custom QuickBooks shipping integration enters the scene.

Transportation Software Integration with QuickBooks

By default, QuickBooks provides an accounting and payroll solution for growing companies that need transportation management. It comes with many benefits, such as managing labor costs, handling payroll taxes, tracking time, getting tax penalty protection, offering same-day direct deposit, and administering workers' comp. However, logistics businesses often use both a TMS for their core operations and QuickBooks for bookkeeping, which can lead to double data entry.

Best EHR systems and its Disadvantages

Pre-built EHR systems have numerous disadvantages. The main thing is it forces your doctors to fit predefined limitations. You have to change your workflow to adjust to the new software. Moreover, you will not be able to easily make app modernization over time to maintain a high productivity rate. The ready-made EHR software targets a wide range of consumers and it is not cost-effective for EHR product vendors to customize it for specific customers. Medical software development focused on building your custom EHR system is a different thing entirely.
