Tampa, FL, September 12, 2011 – Physicians Independent Management Services, Inc. (PIMS), a nationwide medical billing and practice management services company, is proud to announce the official completion of the Stage II addition of its state-of-the-art data center.
In a world quickly gravitating towards the use of EHRs (electronic health records), hospitals, outpatient facilities and medical providers require uninterrupted access to patient information in order to offer sound patient care, while meeting government regulations.

A second 2010 DPM server was also installed at its Disaster Recovery Site to replicate all data, providing an additional layer of protection to PIMS’ customers for their restoration and recovery needs.
