MedHub is one of those business that reliably hires. It doesn't go through a huge growth spurt hiring dozens at a time, nor does it go years without adding staff. Each year the healthcare software firm creates a few jobs as it moves forward. Those numbers are starting to accelerate.
The 13-year-old firm now stands at 13 people after hiring six over the last year. Those new hires include software developers and support staff.
"We'll probably hire another six this year. Minimum," says Peter Orr, president of
MedHub.
MedHub's software platform helps teaching hospitals better manage their medical residents by improving communication, collaboration and tracking of the about to be newly minted doctors. It also helps ensure the hospitals maximize Medicare reimbursements.
It is currently being used by a number of brand name teaching hospitals, such as Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, along with the health systems at Stanford and Duke universities. MedHub recently on boarded UCLA and George Washington’s hospitals, and is planning to bring on more soon.
"Our pipeline is full all the way through next year," Orr says.
MedHub moved from Ann Arbor to downtown Dexter last year. It took over the circa-1899 Old Grain Mill at 3515 Broad Street, redeveloping it into a space for technologists. The company is now filling out that space nicely with its new hires.
MedHub is also working to add more healthcare education institutions to its client list, such as nursing schools.
"We're starting to get into that more aggressively," Orr says.
