Academic health system with 10,000+ staff across hospital, cancer center, and medical school
Temple Health operates a large academic medical center in Philadelphia anchored by Epic Systems for clinical operations, Oracle and SQL Server for enterprise data, and business intelligence tools (Tableau, Qlik, Cognos, MicroStrategy) across the stack. Hiring is overwhelmingly clinical (677 of 787 open roles), with smaller engineering (20) and ops teams (23), reflecting a patient-care-first operating model. Pain points center on operational logistics—patient flow, bed utilization, staffing shortages, inventory control—rather than technology gaps, suggesting IT serves as an enabler of clinical throughput rather than a strategic differentiator.
Notable leadership hires: Interventional Radiology Director, Chief Medical Officer, Development Director, Director of Nursing, Biostatistics Director
