Sutter Health, which runs many of the Bay Area’s largest hospitals and medical groups, is cutting 121 information technology jobs at its Information Services department in Rancho Cordova, near Sacramento.
Sutter, a 26-hospital system based in Sacramento, said the move came in response “to the continued economic downturn affecting the health-care industry and all California employers.”
The IT jobs are being slashed effective July 17. An unspecified number of those jobs support Sutter’s massive electronic health record project, which is on hold at the hospital level but apparently will remain on track for affiliated physician offices.
Top officials at Sutter earlier this month warned about 800 IT staffers at the system that staffing cuts were in the offing, to close a more than $4 million hole in its IT budget.
