Children's Healthcare of Atlanta is a 10,000+ person nonprofit pediatric health system anchored by Epic Systems for clinical workflows, Microsoft enterprise stack (365, Teams, Entra, Azure) for operations, and AWS/GCP for infrastructure. The hiring mix is heavily clinical (547 healthcare roles) with targeted investment in engineering (32), security (20), and ops (45) — typical of legacy healthcare systems modernizing backend infrastructure while managing acute operational pain: claims denials, patient wait times, insurance verification accuracy, and payment processing are the dominant internal challenges.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Primary Care, environmental services lead, Strategic Planning Director, Inpatient Orders Lead, CVOR Lead
Children's Healthcare of Atlanta operates three hospitals with 789 licensed beds, delivering over 1.1 million patient visits and 44,400 surgical procedures annually. The system serves as Georgia's only freestanding pediatric healthcare provider and includes specialty centers (Marcus Autism Center, Level 1 trauma, 60+ pediatric specialties). With more than 4,400 nurses and 2,300 physicians on staff, the organization functions as one of the region's largest employers. Operationally, the system is managing high-throughput clinical delivery alongside persistent revenue-cycle friction: denied claims, accurate insurance verification, and payment application remain priority challenges. Current project investment spans clinical program expansion (pediatric chronic pain clinic, early-phase trials), operational compliance (breastfeeding policy, accreditation), and workforce development (leadership and training programs).
