Akute Health and Thea Health Partner to Increase Access to Specialty Care for Primary Care Providers

Akute Health, a leader in customizable EHR solutions for Direct Primary Care, has joined forces with Thea Health, an innovative eConsult platform, to bring an unprecedented level of access to specialty care for primary care providers. Through this strategic partnership, Akute Health’s platform users will experience seamless access to Thea Health’s network of specialists, covering over 100 specialties and subspecialties with same-day insights.

Expanding Access to Specialty Expertise

The challenge of connecting primary care providers with specialist advice is real, with over half of U.S. patients facing limited access to specialty care. This partnership addresses the gap by integrating Thea Health’s eConsult platform directly into Akute Health’s EHR, allowing providers to request expert consultations without time-consuming referrals. "With Thea’s eConsult platform, our providers can support patients with both everyday and complex health issues without the typical wait time or out-of-pocket costs,” says Sharud Agarwal, CEO of Akute Health.

Improving Patient Care Through Seamless Workflow Integration

The integration provides around 100 providers nationwide who rely on Akute Health’s platform with Thea Health’s speedy consult access—delivering insights in an average of under four hours. This streamlines the patient care process by allowing primary care providers to make timely, informed decisions that can positively impact patient outcomes while reducing unnecessary referrals and associated costs.

The Shared Vision for Healthcare

Both Akute Health and Thea Health envision a future where technology empowers, rather than burdens, healthcare providers.

“This partnership is a big step toward a world where primary care providers can treat patients to the best of their abilities, without the traditional barriers,” shares Harry Cooke, CEO of Thea Health. "We’re excited to expand these capabilities with Akute Health and deliver better care across the board."

With this partnership, primary care providers have access to a scalable, efficient solution for consulting specialists, marking an important step toward modernizing healthcare delivery, especially for practices that aim to provide affordable, high-quality care.
