Baptist Health - Central Alabama Tech Stack
775-bed regional health system serving Central Alabama with three acute-care hospitals
Baptist Health operates a multi-site health system across 14 counties with 775 beds, three acute hospitals, and a clinical network anchored by Cerner and Epic EHRs. The technology stack reveals heavy reliance on Microsoft enterprise infrastructure (Intune, Entra ID, Azure, Defender) paired with healthcare-specific workflows, while active hiring remains overwhelmingly clinical (357 healthcare roles) with minimal engineering capacity (4 open roles) — a staffing shape typical of operationally mature, clinician-led systems. Current project velocity focuses on revenue cycle optimization and stroke care standardization, against documented pain around denial management and clinical documentation gaps.
