“JMARK helps us maintain near zero downtime across our clinics. When systems go down, patient care stops—and that can cost $50,000–$60,000 a day. They make sure that doesn’t happen.”

The Challenge

Missouri Ozarks Community Health has partnered with JMARK since 2008 to support its IT infrastructure as the organization has grown. As the health system expanded from three to seven locations beginning in 2015, supporting 160 users across a distributed footprint required both internal IT and JMARK to scale systems, maintain uptime, and coordinate infrastructure across sites. With an EHR migration to Epic now underway and cybersecurity risks tied to patient data and HIPAA rising, that need for a reliable, scalable IT foundation has only increased.

JMARK partnered with Missouri Ozarks, supporting internal IT while taking ownership of infrastructure, security, and planning, including:

Infrastructure Reliability & Security
Maintaining uptime across clinics with rapid response and proactive issue resolution.

Clinical System & Expansion Support
Supporting EHR migration and new clinic rollouts with pre-configured infrastructure—saving 20–30 hours per expansion.

Strategic Planning & Budgeting
Delivering forward planning with 90%+ budget predictability.

The Solution

The Outcome

With JMARK as a long-term partner, Missouri Ozarks has achieved consistent clinical continuity while scaling from three to seven locations. The organization now operates at approximately near zero downtime—protecting against productivity loss that can reach $50,000–$60,000 per day when systems are unavailable.

JMARK has also enabled efficient expansion, delivering pre-configured infrastructure that saves 20–30 hours per new clinic while freeing up more than 100 hours per month of internal IT capacity. As a result, IT is a stable foundation for growth—supporting initiatives like Epic EHR migration and giving leadership confidence in performance and planning.
