Pediatric academic medical center with 20+ specialties and teaching mission
Connecticut Children's operates a 1,000–5,000-person pediatric medical system rooted in clinical care, teaching, and research. The tech stack reflects healthcare operations: Epic for EHR, PACS for imaging, Omnicell for pharmacy, plus BI tools (Tableau, QlikView) and legacy databases (SQL Server, Oracle). Hiring is heavily clinical (318 healthcare roles active) with steady velocity across junior-to-senior bands, pointing to turnover replacement and scale in patient-facing functions. Active projects span new ED expansion, antimicrobial stewardship, and BMT outcomes improvement—typical of a teaching hospital focused on quality and throughput.
Notable leadership hires: Revenue Reimbursement Director, Division Head Ophthalmology, Medical Director
Connecticut Children's is a nonprofit pediatric academic medical center in Hartford, Connecticut, and the only hospital in the state dedicated exclusively to pediatric care. The organization operates 20+ specialty services staffed by over 200 physicians and serves as the primary clinical and research site for the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, with 200+ pediatric residents and fellows. The system manages acute inpatient care, specialty outpatient services, and pediatric research programs. Internal priorities center on reimbursement optimization (DRG coding and billing accuracy), clinical safety and quality improvement initiatives, and operational efficiency—common friction points in complex teaching hospitals.
Epic Systems is their primary EHR platform, complemented by PACS for medical imaging, Omnicell for pharmacy management, and Salesforce and QlikView for reporting and operational analytics.
Key initiatives include opening a new pediatric emergency department and observation unit, rolling out antimicrobial stewardship and quality improvement programs, expanding an adult congenital heart disease (ACHD) program, and improving billing accuracy and reimbursement optimization.
