RWJBarnabas Health operates 14 hospitals and 700+ care locations across New Jersey with 44,000+ employees and 9,000 affiliated physicians. The organization is standardizing on Epic Systems across its network while managing a large clinical workforce dominated by junior-level care roles, reflecting the frontline-intensive nature of hospital operations. Active projects center on operational efficiency (length of stay reduction, scheduling pathways, throughput) and community health initiatives, with pain points clustered around resource utilization and compliance—typical pressure points for large academic systems integrating multiple care delivery models.
