Based in Shelton, Washington, Mason General Hospital & Family of Clinics (MGH&FC) prides itself on using technology to benefit its physicians, staff, volunteers, and patients.

MGH&FC uses electronic health records as required by the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act, passed as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.

The Critical Insight professional services relationship, combined with Critical Insight’s managed security service, has resulted in a reduced risk of records breached and other undesired outcomes, and significantly reduced the cost of providing auditable security processes in compliance with regulatory requirements.

MGH&FC has truly positioned itself as a leader, both regionally and across the national health sector, by combining managed cybersecurity and consulting services while demonstrating fiscal responsibility. Mason General Hospital & Family of Clinics demonstrates leadership in risk management, regulatory compliance, and fiscal responsibility through a partnership with Critical Insight.

Critical Insight solved the problem. MGH&FC outsources their security monitoring and response using Critical Insight's Managed Detection and Response.
