The challenges you're dealing with every day
We built Sherpa Care for these exact pressures — not adapted from hospital software that doesn't fit your world.
Standard EHR templates don't match your workflow
Visit templates built for primary care or hospitalists don't capture root-cause investigation, comprehensive timeline histories, or the multi-system complexity of functional medicine cases.
Extended visit documentation is a burden
When visits run 60–90 minutes and cover nutritional status, hormonal panels, environmental exposures, and lifestyle factors, traditional documentation takes longer than the visit itself.
Lab interpretation and trend tracking is fragmented
Functional medicine relies heavily on longitudinal lab trends — not just flagging out-of-range values, but tracking patterns over time. Most EHRs show results in isolation, not trajectory.
Care plan complexity exceeds standard templates
A functional medicine care plan might include supplement protocols, dietary interventions, sleep optimization, stress management, and phased testing — none of which fit a standard ICD-10-based treatment plan.
Patient engagement between visits is critical
Functional medicine outcomes depend heavily on patient adherence between visits. Without a structured way to track compliance, share resources, and follow up, progress stalls.
Hybrid payment models require flexible billing
Functional medicine practices often mix insurance billing with direct pay, memberships, and package pricing. Standard billing modules force a square peg into a round hole.
