Our Resources

In a field as specialized as InterSystems and Healthcare IT, talent is not interchangeable. A developer fluent in InterSystems IRIS for Health thinks differently than one who has spent a decade in Veterans VA VistA. A HealthShare architect understands interoperability constraints that no generalist can approximate.

For more than 30 years, Henry Elliott has focused exclusively on this talent segment. We are an InterSystems Elite Implementation Partner — one of a select group of firms in the world recognized for deep technical expertise across the full InterSystems product suite, including InterSystems IRIS and IRIS for Health, Health Connect, HealthShare, Ensemble, and Caché.

Our consultants don't need ramp-up time. They arrive knowing the platform, the patterns, and the pressures of healthcare IT delivery.

“Working with HEC has been an excellent experience. I have worked as a sub-contractor thru HEC for about 16 years. HEC has kept me busy working on various projects during this time. They handled all the administrative functions leaving me free to concentrate on working on the analysis, programming/development and testing with the customer. The HEC team is always available to assist with any issues with a customer. I highly recommend HEC to potential customers and consultants.”

Phil B.

“I’ve been contracting with HE&C for almost 7 years and have always had a great experience. They are friendly, supportive, and always willing to help with professional growth. They truly make me feel like part of the family, and I highly recommend working with them.”

Mohammad H.

“Working at Henry Elliott has been a great experience. Not only do they have a knack for placing contractors/employees in positions that match well; they also have an extensive network of client opportunities available that other recruiters just can't match. Overall, working at Henry Elliott has been a positive experience for the past four years, in a supportive and well-structured environment.”

Byron H.

“Madison reached out to me in early 2023 about a client who needed Caché admin support. I participated in discussions that led to us taking on the client. Shortly after that, I tasked to assist another client with an upgrade from Caché to Iris. Ken and his team really care about treating clients & associates right. The entire home office team helps individual consultants succeed, every day. I even convinced my long-time friend to come work for Henry Elliott.”

Who We Place

We develop, recruit and retain specialists across every functional role in an InterSystems-driven healthcare and business IT environment.

InterSystems IRIS Data Platform, ObjectScript, Caché developers, web service engineers, and legacy M/MUMPS specialists who build, modernize and maintain custom applications on InterSystems platforms.

Data Strategists & Analysts

Professionals who bridge the gap between clinical operations and data infrastructure — from FHIR data modeling and population health analytics to operational reporting on InterSystems IRIS.

Project & Program Managers

Experienced PMs with direct healthcare IT delivery backgrounds — capable of managing the full lifecycle of complex migrations, go-lives, and integration programs from discovery through stabilization.

QA & Testing Engineers

Testing specialists who understand the stakes of healthcare software — building and executing test plans that cover interface behavior, clinical data integrity, and system performance under load.

Our process

How We Vet Our Network

Every consultant in the Henry Elliott network has passed a rigorous evaluation process. We don't broker resumes — we vouch for people.

01

Technical Screening

In-depth interviews conducted by experienced practitioners who know the platforms. We test for depth, not buzzword familiarity.

02

Reference Validation

Direct conversations with former colleagues, managers, and clients — not form submissions. We ask specific questions about specific projects.

03

Cultural Alignment

Healthcare IT carries consequences that other domains don't. We assess for the communication, accountability, and judgment the environment demands.

04

Continued Relationship

We stay engaged throughout every placement. Our consultants know we're invested in their success — and our clients know we stand behind who we send.
