Case Study: Obesity Medicine at Telehealth Scale achieves nationwide GLP-1 prescribing at scale with Canvas Medical

Obesity Medicine at Telehealth Scale manages 1.7 Rx per patient with Canvas Medical

The customer, a telehealth-based obesity medicine practice, faced limitations with their legacy EMR that could not support the deep workflow customization required for high-volume GLP-1 prescribing. Their specific challenges included automating prior authorizations, integrating with pharmacy APIs, and ingesting data from remote patient monitoring devices. They switched to Canvas Medical's programmable EMR platform to gain the flexibility needed for their specialized care model.

By implementing Canvas Medical's programmable EMR, the practice's engineering team built 34 custom plugins to automate their core workflows, including prior authorization and benefit verification. This solution enabled them to successfully migrate their entire patient panel and millions of data points. The results included managing an average of 1.7 prescriptions per patient, achieving 13% average patient weight loss in six months, and maintaining an 85% insurance coverage rate for their nationwide operations.
