For practices
Built for practices that need RN capacity, not another platform
Anu is designed primarily for independent and small-to-midsize physician practices — the ones where care-management work is real, ongoing, and currently landing on people who already have a full day.
Who we work with
Practice types
- Independent primary-care practices
- Family medicine practices
- Internal medicine practices
- Geriatric and older-adult primary care
- Small and midsize physician groups
- Practices with Medicare-heavy patient populations
Who usually gets in touch
Roles
Whoever is currently absorbing the coordination work, or watching it not get done, is usually the person who recognises the problem first.
Signals
You may be a fit if any of this sounds familiar
- 01
Your practice offers chronic-care management, or wants to establish the workflow, and there is no one with time to run it.
- 02
Your nurses and medical assistants are absorbing outreach and coordination between rooming patients.
- 03
Hospital and ED follow-up depends on someone noticing rather than on a process.
- 04
You have considered hiring an RN for this and stalled on the cost, the recruiting, or the coverage problem.
- 05
You looked at a national care-management platform and did not want your patients handed to a call centre.
If none of it fits, I will tell you.
A practice that does not need this is not a practice worth selling to.
The alternatives
Three ways to get care-management capacity
Practices facing this problem generally have three options. The honest comparison is worth having before a conversation, not after it.
What you take on
- Hire another RN
- Recruiting, onboarding, payroll, benefits, coverage for time off
- National platform
- A vendor contract and a platform to learn
- Anu
- A contracted RN partner working inside your workflow
Who talks to your patients
- Hire another RN
- Your employee
- National platform
- A rotating pool, often in a distant call centre

Patient relationship
- Hire another RN
- Stays with the practice
- National platform
- Often mediated by the vendor's brand
- Anu
- Stays with the practice, always
Starting small
- Hire another RN
- Difficult — it is a full hire or nothing
- National platform
- Usually a minimum patient volume
- Anu
- Designed to begin as a focused pilot
If it is not working
- Hire another RN
- A personnel problem
- National platform
- A contract term to work through
- Anu
- A conversation with the RN doing the work
Start with a pilot, not a program
A defined patient group and an agreed cadence, reviewed before anything expands. Support is customized to each practice’s patient population, workflow and RN support needs.
