Customer Services & Support


Help Desk

The Help Desk provides 24/7 frontline technology support for the Medical Center. Depending on the nature of your issue, a Help Desk team member might be part of Desktop Support or the Clinical Application Support Team (CAST). Most issues related to HealthIT products will be directed to a CAST member.

If follow-up calls or escalations are necessary, please provide the service call ticket number when inquiring about the issue. Tickets will typically start with the letters: SD, IM or R0, followed by a series of numbers.

If CAST is unable to resolve a Communication, we will escalate your ticket to Incident-Level and assign it to the appropriate group.

Please keep the following in mind when you are reporting an issue: 

  • If the issue is patient-care related, the priority will be marked as High or Critical which will warrant a page alert to the workgroup.
  • If the Incident is radiology-related, the priority will be marked as High which will page the workgroup.
  • All other Incidents will be marked as low priority.
