PracticeCompass — Standardize the work. Capture the margin.

The problem

You're delivering more care than you're paid for.

It's rarely one thing. It's five pressures hitting at once — each quietly widening the gap between the work your teams do and the money that reaches your bottom line.

01

Physicians running at a loss

Employed providers are your largest fixed cost. Every long, under-documented encounter widens the gap between what you spend and what you collect.

02

Revenue leaking out

Cases and referrals slip to competitors when your own teams are at capacity — and the margin walks out with them.

03

Not enough people

You can't hire your way past a national staffing shortage. The work itself has to get lighter for the team you already have.

04

Denials and weak collections

Care gets delivered, then denied, because documentation didn't match payer rules before the claim went out. You absorb the cost twice.

05

Too many technologies

Every new point solution adds logins, training, and license cost — without giving a single clinician one minute back. The stack became part of the problem.

You're not alone

This isn't a you problem. It's an everyone problem.

The same forces are squeezing every health system in the country at once. The numbers are stark — and they keep climbing.

You're not failing. You're running a great clinical operation inside a system that's stacked against margin. PracticeCompass was built to tilt it back.

How we solve it

AI does the busywork. Your clinicians keep the judgment.

PracticeCompass uses AI to read each payer's guidelines and draft a documented, defensible, billable plan for every encounter — in real time. Your team reviews and decides. The efficient path and the compliant path finally become the same path.

AI-assisted guideline matching

The platform reads each payer's current rules and aligns every encounter to them automatically — so the compliant path is the default, not an afterthought.

Lighter days for clinicians

AI handles the documentation and coding legwork in the background. Five screens become one. Providers spend their time on patients — and see more of them.

Denials caught before they happen

Before a claim goes out, the AI flags what a payer would reject and how to fix it — turning denials from a monthly write-off into a rare exception.

One platform — not ten tools.

The answer to tech sprawl isn't another point solution. PracticeCompass replaces the patchwork, consolidating the whole revenue cycle into one AI-assisted, certified system.

Integrations

Keep your EHR. Change nothing.

PracticeCompass layers on top of the systems you already run — it doesn't replace them. Through standard HL7 and FHIR interfaces, it connects to every major EHR, so there's no migration, no workflow change, and nothing for your clinicians to relearn.

No rip-and-replaceEpic, Oracle Health, MEDITECH, athenahealth — whatever you run stays exactly as it is.

Live in weeksStandard interfaces, not a multi-year implementation or a forklift upgrade.

Reads and writes both waysYour system of record stays the single source of truth.

Zero retrainingClinicians keep the screens they know. The change they notice is fewer denials — not a new login.

Built to be trusted

Innovative where it counts. Conservative where it must be.

AI belongs in healthcare only if you can defend it — to your board, your compliance team, and your clinicians. PracticeCompass was built so you can.

Clinician-led, always

Every AI-assisted recommendation is reviewed by a person. The platform informs the decision — it never makes it.

Grounded, not a black box

Each recommendation traces back to specific payer guidelines and evidence, so every call is explainable and auditable.

Your data stays yours

Protected health information is never used to train outside models. Your data works for you — and no one else.

Certified & tested

Certified EHR technology with published real-world testing, on a HIPAA-aligned foundation your security team can clear quickly.

Who's behind it

Built by a physician. Brought to hospitals by an operator who knows them.

PracticeCompass was created by a practicing doctor who saw that practice management, EHR, and growth tools never worked together. He built it first for his own 170-clinic network — and proved it there before it was ever sold.

Dr. Katsnelson is a cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon trained at Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, and a former attending surgeon at the University of Chicago. He is the founder of the Chicago Heart Institute and USA Vein Clinics — a coast-to-coast network of vein, vascular, fibroid, and interventional centers he has grown over two decades.

He built PracticeCompass for his own 170-clinic network first, then proved it there before it was ever sold. Every workflow, denial rule, and growth play in the platform comes from a practicing physician who runs the operation he's optimizing.

The partnership

The platform is proven in the clinic. The next chapter is commercial — its physician founder built and validated the technology, and Ned brings the capital, the sales organization, and the hospital relationships to scale it into the enterprise standard, with his stake tied directly to the throughput, denials, and collections he moves.
