About PracticeGuard

Independent expertise. On your practice’s side.

Your practice deserves technology that supports patient care—not another project for your staff to manage. PracticeGuard helps independent practices solve complex software problems, navigate technology changes, and work more effectively with the vendors they depend on.

Who You'll Work With

Experienced help, without the layers.

PracticeGuard was founded by Barry Conley, a healthcare technology professional with more than two decades of experience supporting clinical application implementations, integrations, and go-lives.

His background includes work with electronic health records, clinical systems, medical devices, and the complex handoffs between software vendors, technical teams, and the people who use these systems every day.

For independent practices, that experience means direct access to someone who understands both the technical details and the operational consequences when a system fails—or a project gets off track.

Our services also extend to practice mergers, acquisitions, and ownership transitions. We help practices assess existing technology, plan system migrations, coordinate vendors, and manage the technical complexities of combining or transitioning operations.

No unnecessary layers. No requirement to sign up for a long-term contract just to discuss one problem.

How We Work

Built around the practice, not the vendor.

01

Independent perspective

We help your practice understand the issue, identify responsible parties, and make informed decisions without being tied to a particular software product.

02

Hands-on technical understanding

From application workflows to system interfaces and data migration, we can examine the underlying problem—not just pass messages between vendors.

03

Right-sized engagements

Bring us in for one stubborn issue, a defined implementation, or ongoing guidance. We scope the work to what your practice actually needs.

Who We Help

Independent practices of all kinds.

Medical, dental, veterinary, and specialty practices all rely on technology to keep daily operations moving. The software may differ, but the challenges are familiar: disconnected systems, delayed projects, unclear vendor ownership, and staff pulled away from their primary work.

PracticeGuard serves clients nationwide, working remotely whenever practical and on-site when a project calls for it.

Already have an IT provider?

That's fine. We work alongside your IT team or MSP, concentrating on clinical and practice applications, integrations, implementations, and vendor coordination—not routine desktop helpdesk services.

Where We Work

Based in Washington. Supporting practices nationwide.

PracticeGuard works with independent medical, dental, veterinary, and specialty practices throughout the United States. Most engagements can be handled remotely, providing experienced technical guidance without unnecessary travel costs.

When an implementation, integration project, or go-live benefits from an on-site presence, travel can be arranged as part of the engagement.

One problem or an entire project. Let's talk.
