Health systems engineering and analytics · Since 2007
Technology for healthcare that holds up under inspection.
Social Enterprise Advisors is a principal-led consulting practice. We advise on, build, and operate
the systems healthcare organizations run on — security, compliance, EMR modernization, payer data —
and deliver the evidence that it’s working.
Experience across healthcare and technology.
Our principals’ previous roles include operations, technology, and privacy leadership at
AT&T, Kaiser Permanente, and Google Health.
Meet the team.
The practice
Govern AI
Know which AI tools are in use, what data they touch, and where human controls are needed. We build AI governance programs, review vendors, and provide ongoing oversight.
Governance engagements →
Modernize operations
Use workflow mapping to find opportunities for automation, understand losses between systems, and get stalled programs moving. Leave with priorities, costs, and a plan for delivery.
Modernization engagements →
Protect data and get through the deal
Build a privacy program, prepare for an acquisition, or assess a potential purchase. We review IT, security, privacy, and AI assets so you can understand the risks and the work ahead.
Privacy and diligence engagements →
Run IT
Fixed-fee assessments and monthly retainers for practices, clinic groups, and community health centers: security, service desk, backups that are tested by restoring them, and ongoing engineering.
The IT practice →
Assessments are fixed-fee; ongoing work is scoped to the roadmap. How to get a quote.
How an engagement runs
-
Assess
Start with a fixed-fee assessment. The findings and roadmap are yours to use, whether you continue with us or have your own team carry out the work.
Starting points → -
Operate
A monthly retainer puts the roadmap into practice, with a named senior lead, an agreed schedule, and a monthly report on progress and findings.
Sample monthly report → -
Modernize
Stabilize existing systems, then add integrations, reporting, agentic workflows, and custom tools in the order your priorities and budget support.
Modernization engagements →
Each change we run goes through the same five steps, from definition to verification. How we control the work.
What the principals have done
Kurt Wiedenhoeft
Replacing an electronic health record while it stays in production
For a multi-center Medicare Advantage care-delivery group, a client of the firm: Kurt wrote the original record in 2000 and now leads its ground-up replacement, built largely by software agents under written human review gates, with the old system serving clinicians daily throughout.

A national health-system deployment
Led the Care Studio clinical software deployment at Ascension for Google Health. Before that she led a portfolio of over 40 clinical innovation projects at Kaiser Permanente, and earlier ran automation programs at AT&T.

See how an operations finding becomes a proposed workflow, how an IT report records open work, and what to ask before approving an AI vendor.
Samples illustrate our approach using fictional scenarios. They are not client case studies.
