SSM Health Tech Stack
Integrated Catholic health system operating hospitals, clinics, and insurance across the Midwest
SSM Health operates a sprawling clinical delivery network spanning four states with 40,000 employees and 13,900 providers, anchored on Epic Systems and a growing data infrastructure (AWS EMR, Apache Airflow, Power BI, Tableau). The hiring surge—147 roles posted in the last 30 days—is almost entirely clinical (nurse residency, palliative care, telehealth expansion) with minimal engineering capacity, reflecting a health system optimizing existing platforms rather than building new ones. Pain-point concentration on billing accuracy, claims denial, and Epic workflow efficiency points to revenue-cycle and EMR operational debt as near-term priorities.
