Brown University Health Tech Stack
Academic health system managing clinical operations and research across 10,000+ staff
Brown University Health operates a large academic medical center running on Epic and Meditech with infrastructure spanning Azure, AWS, and on-premise systems (VMware, Windows Server, Linux). The hiring profile is heavily skewed toward clinical and nursing roles (1,309 of 1,522 active positions), with only 15 engineering and 15 security roles — typical for healthcare organizations prioritizing patient-facing operations over technology headcount. Active projects center on clinical workflow (Epic documentation, medication reconciliation, patient flow) and regulatory compliance (TJC policy implementation), while pain points cluster around denials management, staffing efficiency, and data integrity.
