UC San Diego Health operates a large academic medical system spanning multiple specialty hospitals, a research-intensive medical school, and distributed clinical practices. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward healthcare-specific tools—Epic Systems, PACS, radiology systems—alongside standard enterprise software (ServiceNow, Microsoft 365). The hiring mix reveals operational scaling pressure: 324 healthcare roles (primarily mid-level clinicians and support staff) against 22 research positions, suggesting the organization is focused on care delivery capacity rather than research expansion. Active projects around app integration, charge capture, and patient flow improvement align with documented pain points in system interoperability and financial process compliance.
