Regional health system operating 500+ locations across Connecticut with integrated delivery model
Hartford HealthCare operates a vertically integrated health system spanning hospitals, physician groups, behavioral health, home care, and senior services across Connecticut. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward clinical and administrative systems (Epic, PeopleSoft, Meditech, Kyriba, Waystar, OnBase) with minimal engineering or data-infrastructure hiring, reflecting a traditional healthcare IT posture focused on ERP consolidation and regulatory compliance rather than product innovation. Current project focus—nurse residency, readmission reduction, documentation tools, harm prevention—maps directly to internal pain points around patient throughput, scheduling access, and documentation quality.
Notable leadership hires: Chief Rehabilitation, Chief of OB/GYN, Perioperative Clinic Director, Molecular Pathology Director, Intake Lead
