Duke University Health System Tech Stack
Academic medical center running clinical trials, research, and patient care across multiple specialties
Duke Health operates a large clinical and research organization anchored in Epic Systems for patient records and care delivery, with imaging (Visage PACS, Cone Beam CT, MR protocols), oncology (Eclipse, ARIA), and cardiology (Impella, pacemakers) infrastructure. The hiring mix is heavily weighted toward clinical roles (1,215 healthcare positions) with smaller engineering and data teams (12 total), reflecting a traditional health system structure; ongoing projects span clinical trials, lab test development, and operational optimization (fall prevention, smart rooms, automated signage), while pain points center on revenue cycle friction—claim denials, CMS compliance, and care coordination—indicating mature system struggle with administrative burden rather than capability gaps.
