Consolidation Giving Way To Innovation - Executive Vice President of Software Engineering PatientPoint Employee Review

Backed by Private Equity owners who have demonstrable faith in the company’s strategic plan PatientPoint is an evolving organization that continues to grow at an impressive rate. The history of the company is interesting in that present-day PatientPoint is a combination of the three largest ‘Point of Care’ players (Outcome Health, Accent Health) which have progressively merged into a single entity over the last six years. This now positions PatientPoint as the market leader in the healthcare space with one of the largest private digital signage networks in the world. Leveraging the relationships that PatientPoint has with clinicians and healthcare providers we are continuing to build solutions that drive value to patients by improving their interactions with physicians and their overall healthcare journey. Having joined the company in the middle of the pandemic with responsibility for the Software Engineering function I’ve been grateful for the culture and collaboration that is innate to the company. Merging organizations (and their technology stacks) is rarely frictionless and we have been doing so with a close eye to the future growth of the company. Heavyweight ‘Enterprise IT’ strategies have given way to more nimble agile development built around contemporary event-driven architectures that connect microservices which streamline our business processes. PatientPoint is an operationally complex company that punches well above its weight class in terms of the logistical challenges that it must navigate on a daily basis and the expanded investment in technology has begun to yield demonstrable business results. This investment has led to us grow a robust Engineering organization, headquartered in Chicago and Cincinnati but distributed nationally, that is delivering solutions for internal and external customers at an accelerated rate. The challenges are various at PatientPoint. As a developer here you can experience elements of B2B, B2C and direct consumer facing application development, all under the same roof. Furthermore you’ll be doing it alongside talented people in service of a goal of improving the healthcare experience of millions of people. What I find most gratifying about working at PatientPoint is the extent to which all of our challenges are tractable and readily yield to the efforts of the technical teams. The direct impact of the software organization is felt throughout the business.
