Treatspace, Inc. (PracticeBeat's parent company) began in 2014 with a problem: Why aren't patients going to life-saving preventive care appointments? With a team from Carnegie Mellon University, the #1 school for computer science in the country, we created a secure, HIPAA-compliant referral management software that connected primary and specialty care on the same system.
Once we started investigating the barriers to patient access present in today's healthcare landscape, we couldn't stop. That's when the Treatspace team created PracticeBeat, a marketing product that could close even more of the gaps that come between patients and the care they need from independent providers who treat them as individuals.
Our team has received multiple awards and recognitions, most notably a $1M award at the Global Action Challenge in Nashville for our clinically-driven innovations in healthcare.
The PracticeBeat team continues to stay on the cutting edge of healthcare marketing, identifying a new solution for every new problem that comes our way. We are your committed, passionate partners in patient access.
