Follow the clinical day
Your practice is connected.
Your support should be, too.
Connect referral intake, surgical scheduling, facility access, and postoperative records through one managed IT relationship.
When a procedure is booked
Surgery scheduling may span the practice and several facilities. Identify which applications, portals, and communication tools are involved and who supports each one.
When providers move between settings
Office devices and external hospital or ambulatory surgery center (ASC) systems have different owners. Define approved access and support boundaries so staff know where to turn.
When the patient returns to the office
Operative reports, pathology information, and follow-up records may arrive through separate systems. Keep those access paths in the IT inventory while the clinical team owns review and follow-up.
The connections matter
Your clinical systems. Clear support responsibilities.
Start with the systems your general surgery team actually uses. Review the workstations, connections, storage, and vendor agreements behind electronic health records (ehr), surgical scheduling access, referral document workflows. Agree on the responsibilities for infrastructure, application support, and equipment servicing before making changes.
One connected practice.

Before you choose a partner
Choosing an IT partner for general surgery
Compare how each provider handles your clinical dependencies, vendor responsibilities, and plans for change. Start with these questions.
What makes general surgery IT distinct from primary care IT?
The technology review should follow surgical coordination across the office, outside facilities, and postoperative care. General surgery is a surgical specialty, not a label for general medical practice. Include facility access and procedure-related records in the support plan.
How should multiple hospital and ASC connections be managed?
Document each facility’s accounts, supported devices, access requirements, and escalation contacts. Confirm which responsibilities belong to the practice and which belong to the facility. Shared standards can simplify the practice side without changing outside policies.
What belongs in a surgical-practice transition plan?
Inventory the EHR, scheduling tools, external access, local records, backup arrangements, and vendor contacts. Agree on the outgoing IT provider’s handoff and the timing of changes around office and surgical commitments.
Good questions. Clear answers.
General surgery IT questions
Have a question about your practice?
Ask the TST teamNo. General surgery is a surgical specialty. This page focuses on technology for surgical offices and their coordination with procedural facilities, rather than primary care.
TST can review practice-side devices and accounts and coordinate with the relevant facility teams. Each hospital or ASC retains control of its own systems and permissions.
No. IT supports the agreed applications, connectivity, and account access. Scheduling decisions, clinical readiness, and patient instructions remain with the practice and facility staff.
Bring the list of office locations, users, clinical applications, outside facilities, and recurring technical problems. Include surgery-coordination tools and planned growth so the scope reflects the whole practice.
TST uses a flat monthly rate based on an agreed service scope. Bring your users, locations, devices, applications, and support needs to the conversation. Confirm how licenses, equipment purchases, projects, and changes to the organization are handled in the proposal.
TST supports organizations across 43 states. Discuss your locations, clinical systems, and vendor arrangements so the team can propose shared support standards while documenting requirements specific to each office.
