The primary care doctor never hears what happened. And the patient is left in limbo wondering if they’ve been forgotten.Trey Holterman, Co-Founder and CEO of Tennr, watched his mother, a physician's assistant, live with this for years. So, he built a company and even a proprietary AI model to fix it.Trey joins host Brian Chee to discuss why the referral black hole has persisted despite decades of health tech investment, and how Tennr built a proprietary AI model trained on the unstructured healthcare documents at the root of the problem to fix it at scale.----🎙 ABOUT TREY HOLTERMAN: Trey Holterman is the Co-Founder and CEO of Tennr, the referral automation platform that helps healthcare operators capture more referrals, cut denials, and deliver faster care without scaling their teams.
