The GP CTO Manifesto

Clinical software is fundamentally broken. EMR vendors optimize for billing codes, not clinical workflows. IT support companies (MSPs) optimize for closing helpdesk tickets, not strategic architecture.

In the middle sits the clinic owner or practice manager, forced to make complex technical decisions based on biased sales pitches.

GP CTO was founded to sit on your side of the table.

Our Core Tenets

  1. Radical Vendor Independence: We take zero kickbacks, commissions, or referral fees from any software vendor. Period.
  2. Data Sovereignty: You own your patient data. We will not let you sign a contract that traps your data in a proprietary format.
  3. Security over Compliance: HIPAA compliance is the absolute minimum bar. We architect for zero-trust security to survive the modern threat landscape.
  4. Interoperability is Mandatory: If a system cannot securely share its data via standard APIs (FHIR/HL7), it is a legacy system and should be avoided.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is your pricing model?

We operate on a transparent, flat monthly retainer based on the number of providers and locations, or fixed-bid project fees for specific migrations. We refuse percentage-based savings models as they create perverse incentives.

Do you replace our internal IT?

No. We act as your executive technical leadership. We manage your IT vendors, negotiate your contracts, and architect your systems, while your existing MSP handles day-to-day helpdesk operations.
