Regional health system operating 3 hospitals and specialty care network across Central Alabama
Baptist Health operates a 775-bed integrated health system across 14 counties with three acute-care hospitals, a cancer center, psychiatric facility, and outpatient clinic network. The tech stack is Windows/Microsoft-centric (Office 365, Intune, Endpoint Manager) paired with healthcare-specific tools (Cerner EHR, EDI, ICD-10), typical of large hospital systems. Hiring remains strong and steady across 834 open roles, with clinical staff dominating the workforce; active projects cluster around revenue cycle improvements (billing analysis, denials reduction, benefits eligibility verification) and care delivery operations (quality improvement, process standardization, staff education), reflecting operational pressure on both patient experience and financial performance.
