Most home health EHRs were designed to pass an audit, not to help you run your agency. They start with regulatory checkboxes and work backward. The result is software that satisfies surveyors but frustrates the people who actually use it every day.

You can't see the forest for the trees. We realized that the core failure of legacy EHRs isn't their age — it's that they treat data as something to store, not something to surface.

Linear Health started from a different question: What does the person running operations actually need to see?

The answer is the thread that connects everything — the referral that becomes a schedule, the schedule that becomes a visit, the visit that becomes a note, the note that becomes a claim, the claim that becomes a quality score. In most systems, those threads are scattered across tabs, exports, and workarounds. Here, they're one continuous line.
