Healthcare Advisory
For health systems and healthcare technology teams making decisions where
accuracy and accountability are non-negotiable.
Where research meets implementation.
Stephan Mabry has spent nearly two decades inside the Epic ecosystem and more than 1,000 hours watching how clinicians actually use the technology built for them. Not as a vendor pitching from the outside, but as the engineer, architect, and researcher behind the systems.
He knows the pattern well. Integrations multiply until no one can say where the data lives. A promising AI pilot never makes it to production. New technology lands on clinicians who were never asked how they work. That is the gap he works in.
Stephan is a Research Fellow at the MACROPRAXIS Research Institute, where his published work includes research on ransomware’s impact on the healthcare industry’s value chain and a survey of automated testing gaps in healthcare interoperability. That work reflects a broader commitment: the gap between research and real-world application is where the most important problems sit, and where the most useful advisory work happens.
What he actually believes
Stephan does not think the healthcare industry has a technology problem. It has a prioritization problem.
Too many organizations are chasing AI, automation, and predictive analytics while ignoring the issues actively draining their capacity and margins today. A health system that cannot keep its doors open has no use for transformative technology.
His advisory work starts with the real problems: operating margins, workforce strain, cybersecurity risk, and interoperability failures. From there, he builds toward solutions health systems can actually deploy in the near term. Evidence-based strategies over buzzwords. Measurable outcomes over impressive demos.
How Stephan works with you
Healthcare Ecosystem Assessment
A clear picture of how your clinical technology actually fits together. He maps your EHR, ancillary systems, integrations, and vendors against how clinicians really work, then identifies where complexity, risk, and technical debt are costing you. You leave with a prioritized roadmap.
Technology Strategy Review
An outside read on a major technology decision before you commit. He evaluates the options against your clinical workflows, security posture, and operating constraints, and tells you what the evidence supports.
AI Feasibility Assessment
Find out whether an AI use case holds up before you buy or build. He looks at data readiness, clinical risk, explainability, and what it takes to run in production.
Research Advisory
Research-informed guidance for teams working at the edge of what the field has figured out, from interoperability testing to cybersecurity resilience.
