Six-hospital health system serving southwest Missouri with 13,000+ staff
CoxHealth operates a large regional health system anchored by Epic Systems, with hiring concentrated heavily in clinical roles (591 of 714 active positions) alongside smaller engineering (11) and ops (24) teams. Active projects center on clinical workflow automation, nurse workload reduction, and care-progression barriers — a pattern consistent with post-acute operational scaling rather than technology innovation, and the tech stack (CMMS, SolarWinds, NetScout, Elasticsearch) reflects mature infrastructure monitoring and asset management typical of established hospital systems.
