Healthcare organizations face a critical decision: patients want virtual care options, but building custom telehealth infrastructure can cost $200K-$500K+ and take 12-18 months. The data is clear: 82% of patients now prefer hybrid care models that combine in-person visits with virtual consultations. And 83% of healthcare providers agree this approach works. For small and mid-sized practices (2-50 practitioners), white label telehealth platforms offer a faster, lower-risk path: ✅ Deploy in 1-2 weeks instead of 12-18 months ✅ Battle-tested technology serving 200+ clinics and 1M+ patients ✅ Single-tenant architecture for better security and compliance ✅ Comprehensive platform covering scheduling, video visits, messaging, and analytics The practices winning in 2025 are those that moved quickly to meet patient expectations - recognizing that technology is a means to better patient access and sustainable growth, not something to build from scratch.

PAs & NPs preparing to launch a practice: Most providers do not need more startup information. They need operational guidance built for real healthcare practices. That is exactly why CPAC approaches practice ownership differently. Our team works with providers and healthcare founders navigating: • operational growth • startup planning • compensation decisions • leadership challenges • provider retention • sustainable practice development Because healthcare is not just about launching a business. It is about building systems, workflows, and leadership structures that can realistically support providers long term. Many providers are capable of ownership but feel stuck trying to figure out: • where to start • whether ownership is realistic for them • what operational challenges to expect • how prepared they actually are for the transition That is why we created the free Practice Ownership Readiness Audit. The audit helps providers evaluate: ✔ Whether practice ownership aligns with their goals ✔ What strengths they already have ✔ Where operational or business gaps may exist ✔ What next steps may make the most sense for their situation This is not about pushing providers into ownership. It is about helping providers approach career and business decisions with more clarity, structure, and confidence.

Today, we're putting a spotlight on ✨ Hashem Abdou, ✨ founder and CEO of Oasys. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗢𝗮𝘀𝘆𝘀 𝗱𝗼? Oasys is an AI-native EHR and practice management platform built specifically for group behavioral health practices – typically 5 to 50 clinicians. Notes, scheduling, billing, and outcomes measurement in one system. We also run revenue cycle management as a managed service for practices that want it, so the software and the billing aren't two different vendors pointing at each other. Most behavioral health software was either designed for solo practitioners or adapted from medical specialties that don't look anything like therapy. Group practices ended up with tools that fit neither. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗶𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝘂𝗽 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵? My mother is a clinical psychologist, so I grew up watching how much of her week went to things that weren't clinical work. I studied biomedical engineering and computer science, and my research was in affective computing, which predicts mood states from physiological signals like HRV and actigraphy. The research made me think behavioral health was missing objective measurement infrastructure. Building Oasys made me realize you can't get to that layer without first owning the system of record. So we started with the boring part. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗿𝗼𝗹𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝘆𝗰𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗮𝗴𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁 (𝗥𝗖𝗠)? Directly. We don't sell software and hand billing off to a third party – we run it. That means I'm in the details: payer enrollment, claim denials, ERA reconciliation, the specific ways behavioral health CPT codes and unit-based billing break assumptions built for medical billing. Owning both sides changes what you build. When a claim gets denied, we can see whether the root cause was in the note, the payer config, or the clearinghouse, and then we can fix it once instead of patching around it every month. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝗥𝗖𝗠 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝘄𝗼 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘄? I think the routine work (coding, scrubbing, first-pass denial triage) gets substantially automated. That's already underway. What I think matters more: the value moves upstream, to eligibility accuracy and clean data capture at the point of care. Fixing a claim after submission is a losing game compared to never generating a bad one. And in behavioral health specifically, as payers push toward measurement-based reimbursement, claims will start carrying outcomes data. RCM stops being a back-office function and becomes part of how a practice proves its clinical value.

Telehealth in behavioral health is not a convenience feature. For a patient in medication-assisted treatment, a missed appointment can be a relapse risk. The platform has to hold up at that stakes level. A multi-state addiction therapy and MAT provider needed exactly that. Saisystems Technology built it. Since adoption in 2021: - 200,000+ online telehealth appointments completed - 4.5 / 5 program rating in an independent review - 4X platform growth Built on Microsoft. Governed from the start. Still running. Ask us for the telehealth case study. Multi-state behavioral health operators tend to skip straight to the uptime section. Running behavioral health across multiple states? Ask Saisystems Technology for the telehealth case study. We’ll show you the platform architecture, production scale, and reliability story behind 200,000+ completed online appointments. #Telehealth #BehavioralHealth #MentalHealthTech #MAT #HealthcareAI #HealthTech #HealthcareIT #DigitalHealth #Telemedicine #VirtualCare #HealthcareTechnology #PatientAccess #HealthcareInnovation #MicrosoftAzure #SaisystemsTechnology

The Hidden Cost of Behavioral Health in Oncology Isn’t Clinical — It’s Operational When oncology practices talk about behavioral health being “hard to implement,” they’re rarely talking about clinical complexity. They’re talking about workflows. 💭 Who reviews depression screens? 💭 Who follows up when scores are elevated? 💭 Where does documentation live? 💭 How do you ensure billing happens consistently without adding work to already overloaded teams? Most practices already want to support patients’ mental health. The friction shows up when behavioral health is layered on top of existing operations instead of embedded within them. At Colla Health, our focus has been designing behavioral health workflows that sit inside oncology operations: • documentation in the oncology EMR • alignment with quality reporting and reimbursement • a dedicated care team that owns follow-up and coordination So administrative work doesn’t fall back on MAs, nurses, or physicians. Reducing admin burden isn’t a side benefit. It’s the prerequisite for sustainable supportive care. CMS – Behavioral Health Integration Overview: https://lnkd.in/gNhkH9NV

Telehealth is having a “turnkey” moment. Every week I see plug-and-play telehealth businesses being sold by people who weren’t in this industry before it looked like a cash machine—no history, no scar tissue, no pattern recognition. Just a template and a promise. Here’s what I know after 10 years in telehealth—building inside major companies and designing custom solutions for hundreds of operators: Telehealth isn’t a website + a prescriber network. It’s a regulated clinical business that only scales when the structure is real. And the structure starts with one quiet, uncompromising reality: Corporate Practice of Medicine (CPOM) CPOM shapes: who can own what who controls clinical decisions how money can (and can’t) flow how MSO fees work how you market without implying guaranteed prescriptions how you expand state-by-state without stacking invisible risk “Turnkey” sellers often skip this because it’s not sexy. But it’s the difference between building a business and building a liability. Venture exists for founders who want telehealth done the right way: clinically sound, structurally defensible, and scalable without shortcuts. If you want a clear-eyed read on CPOM/MSO fit and where the hidden risk lives in your model, reach out: ettienne@venture.health.
