Bellese is a civic technology and human-centered service design company founded in 2009. It builds digital products, services, and consulting for government and healthcare organisations, with the stated aim of improving the healthcare journey. Its technical work spans human-centred service design, lean agile software development, digital health solutions, healthcare IT systems, government technology consulting, and software maintenance and modernisation.
Much of the company's engineering effort goes into systems operated for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). These include the Hospital Quality Reporting programme and the Quality Management and Review Systems, both of which are maintained and improved in partnership with CMS and used by thousands of hospitals and healthcare providers. The work sits at the intersection of healthcare quality reporting, Medicare and Medicaid programmes, and public-sector technology.
Bellese operates as a fully remote organisation, with team members spread across 24 states in the United States. The company describes its culture as curious and problem-obsessed: it places emphasis on asking 'why' until a problem is understood, and on arriving at what it calls 'the ultimate solution' rather than simply building applications. Its work is mission-driven and framed around building products and services 'for the greater good', delivered through collaborative partnerships with clients.
