Harris Health Tech Stack
Public health system operating integrated care across Houston region
Harris Health is a government-run health system serving the Houston area with 5,000–10,000 staff across hospitals, clinics, and specialty care. The tech stack reveals a traditional healthcare IT footprint—Epic EHR, PeopleSoft for HR/finance, Kronos for workforce scheduling, PACS for imaging, and HL7/FHIR standards—typical of large integrated systems. Active hiring is heavily skewed toward clinical roles (85% of 729 open positions), with secondary demand in ops, engineering, and security, suggesting the organization is focused on clinical delivery and patient care throughput rather than technology transformation.
