What Health Systems Informatics does

Health Systems Informatics (HSi) is a privately held healthcare IT advisory and consulting firm headquartered in Bainbridge Island, Washington, founded in 2012 by former employees of the predecessor firm Health Informatics Associates (HIA, founded 1992). The firm partners with hospital and health system leadership to plan, implement, and optimize technology environments, with a stated vendor-neutral methodology spanning Epic, Oracle Health (Cerner), and MEDITECH electronic health record (EHR) platforms. Its service portfolio covers CIO and executive advisory, EHR implementation and optimization, clinical informatics and workflow redesign, project and change management, data and analytics, regulatory compliance support (MIPS, Promoting Interoperability), interim IT leadership, and technical infrastructure services delivered through its HTS (Health Technology Solutions) division.

HSi operates as a professional services organization rather than a software vendor, generating revenue through retainer-based and project-based consulting engagements. Services are delivered by regional teams across the Pacific Northwest, Southwest, Southeast, Eastern, and Midwest United States, supported by business development VPs, a senior recruiter function, and a multi-stakeholder advisory board of sitting CIOs, CFOs, and CMIOs. The firm has positioned AI governance and data readiness as an emerging practice area, formalized at the ViVE 2026 conference and through its January 2026 CHIME Foundation membership.

The company has demonstrated two consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America (No. 3513 in 2023 with 140.8% three-year revenue growth; No. 2478 in 2024 with 210% growth), holds KLAS Emerging Solution Spotlight recognition with 100% customer satisfaction in its technology solutions division, and cites 30+ years of combined healthcare IT experience and a national US footprint covering nearly every state.
