CareTalk: Healthcare. Unfiltered. The Messy Reality of Healthcare Referrals w/ Trey Holterman, Co-Founder & CEO, Tennr
Referrals are meant to connect patients to the care they need, but in reality, they often become a source of delays, dropped handoffs, and administrative chaos. Between intake complexity, missing information, and outdated processes, too many patients get stuck between diagnosis and treatment.
Trey Holterman, Co-Founder and CEO of Tennr joins CareTalk host John Driscoll to discuss why referrals break down so often, what makes intake workflows so hard to fix, and how health systems can improve throughput and access without ripping out the systems they already rely on.
