Week of May 2, 2026: Automate smarter, cut costs, strengthen your practice

Your practice doesn't have to work harder to run better. This week, discover how independent practices like yours are reducing admin overload and improving financial health through smarter automation. Plus, get real-world success stories, beginner-friendly guides, and tools your staff can start using right away.

Staying independent is harder than it was even a year ago. Costs are up, reimbursements are slower, and the admin work keeps spilling into nights and weekends. But not every practice is struggling.

Tebra’s 2026 State of the Independent Practice Report reveals that some practices are feeling more confident despite the strain. These 5 stories show what changes when your EHR connects clinical workflows, billing follow-through, and the patient experience, so work doesn’t break down between systems.

Dr. Fabius Santos, Founder and CEO, Optimal Psychiatry and Wellness, explains that “Tebra helps my private practice grow by being easily scalable with an EHR platform that is easy to navigate. The e-prescribing is easy to use. The intake process is easy to use. The e-labs are all in one place too. And really, all the features work well together.”

Learn how Tebra’s solutions helped Dr. Santos’ practice avoid $232K in hidden costs and $195K in provider time for intakes.
