Dental IT Support in Gainesville, Florida

Ekim IT Solutions dental IT support and UF Health coordination for practices in Gainesville and Alachua County, Florida

Gainesville is home to the University of Florida and UF Health, creating a dental market anchored by one of the nation’s top dental schools and a major academic medical center that generates significant specialty referral volume for Gainesville-area practices. Private dental practices in Gainesville operate in a market where they compete for patients with a major academic dental clinic while also coordinating care with UF Health specialists on complex medical-dental cases.

Ekim IT Solutions is the dental-exclusive IT provider serving dental practices in Gainesville, Newberry, Archer, and Alachua County from our Tampa Bay office at 600 N Westshore Blvd, Suite 701, Tampa, FL 33609. The UF College of Dentistry is a major presence in the Alachua County dental market, providing dental care to patients across the region while also generating resident training referrals to local specialist practices.

Gainesville’s patient demographic includes a large university student and faculty population, UF Health employees, and the established residential communities of northwest and southwest Alachua County. The student population creates demand for digital patient experience including online scheduling and digital intake, while the medical community creates a high-coordination specialty referral environment.

Academic Medical Center Coordination

Gainesville dental practices coordinating complex care with UF Health oral surgery, oncology, and medical departments handle PHI across multiple covered entities simultaneously. A practice sending patient records to UF Health’s department of oral and maxillofacial surgery for a medically compromised patient workup is transmitting PHI to a major academic medical center with specific record format and transmission requirements.
