Regional health system with four clinical centers of excellence
St. Bernards is a 5,000+ person nonprofit health system anchored in Jonesboro, AR, running Meditech and GE Centricity alongside legacy systems (Allscripts, QuickBooks, Sage). The hiring mix is almost entirely clinical and ops—healthcare roles dominate at 384 of 417 open positions, with only one engineering hire posted—suggesting IT is lean and vendor-dependent rather than built in-house. Pain points cluster around back-office friction: vendor reconciliation, prior authorizations, and cost control, not clinical delivery.
St. Bernards Medical Center, founded in 1900, operates as a regional referral hospital serving Jonesboro and surrounding areas. The health system organizes around four centers of excellence: Heartcare, Cancer Treatment, Women's and Children's Services, and Senior Services. Current initiatives include quality improvement programs, pharmacist-managed dosing, and grief support services. Active challenges span clinical access (prior authorization barriers), financial operations (vendor billing discrepancies, general ledger accuracy), and cost management across purchasing and staffing.
St. Bernards runs Meditech as its primary EHR, supplemented by GE Centricity, Allscripts, and PACS imaging systems.
