The era of digital health. Soon it will be just the era of health. Digital is becoming so intertwined with health care that it’s now to be expected by consumers. Meet Tebra. PatientPop, a leader in practice growth technology, has joined forces with Kareo, a leader in cloud-based clinical and financial software, to support the connected practice of the future and modernize every step of the patient journey. According to the announcement, Tebra is the combination of leaders in practice growth and operations will create an all-in-one practice success platform to help independent practitioners thrive in the era of consumer-driven healthcare.Â
PatientPop + Kareo = Tebra: A singular vision to support the connected practice of the future
PatientPop supports practice growth with search marketing and search-optimized websites, plus conveniences such as online appointment booking, digital registration, and text messaging. Kareo supports practice operations with technologies that include a fully certified Electronic Health Record (EHR), scheduling, insurance billing, and patient payments. Tebra combines leading technologies from both companies, which currently support more than 100,000 healthcare providers, to deliver an all-in-one platform purpose-built to drive practice success and modernize every step of the patient journey.Â
Convenience has become the new currency. Over the past decade, consumers have grown accustomed to a seamless digital experience. At the same time, health care consumers (patients) have taken a more active role in educating themselves and directly managing their health. With more than 80% of consumers now researching their healthcare options, new technologies provide consumers new ways to engage in healthy living and manage certain conditions. And for healthcare organizations to gain a competitive position in the minds of consumers, convenience is a primary concern. Healthcare consumerism should empower consumers to be involved in their health care decisions throughout every step of the patient journey.
Each day, at private practices nationwide, healthcare providers carry out a mission to care for others, heal and comfort, and bring good health to our families and communities. If there’s a more noble professional endeavor, we don’t know of it.
Yet running a practice is increasingly difficult. Payer rules, shrinking reimbursements, administrative and regulatory requirements… it all distracts from care a little at a time and can threaten practice success.

“Patients today expect a seamless, digital experience from healthcare like they have in every other aspect of their lives. But unfortunately, not all doctors have been able to keep pace with these expectations like other industries have. That’s why we’re so excited to join forces with PatientPop to help doctors grow their practices online and deliver a modern experience.” Dan Rodrigues, CEO, and founder of Kareo
