Tier 1 - Local Site Support
Local site support at the Hospitals, Health Care Centers, and Clinics. Tier 1 is the basic level of customer support related to IT hardware, software, and telecommunications.
Tier 2 - Regional Area Support
Regional Areas provide support to their location and to the Hospitals, Health Care Centers, and Clinics assigned to their region. Tier 2 level of support provides an intermediate level of customer support related to IT hardware, software, and telecommunications.
