Matic and Catalyst Health Group Named Finalists for Outstanding Healthcare Collaboration

DALLAS, Nov. 3, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Matic and Catalyst Health Group have been recognized for their innovative partnership in transforming primary care, according to a press release from Matic. The collaboration has been named a finalist for Outstanding Healthcare Collaboration in the 2026 Excellence in Healthcare Awards by D CEO Magazine.

Catalyst Health Group, a physician-led network of over 850 physicians and advanced practice providers, has been working closely with Matic to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of primary care. The partnership has resulted in significant improvements for physicians, allowing them to see more patients and spend more time focusing on patient care rather than administrative tasks.

This improvement in efficiency has allowed Dr. Eppich to focus more on patient interactions and less on paperwork.

He described the impact as "magic."

This technology has not only improved his workflow but also enhanced his patient interactions.

This has not only increased his patient load but also improved the overall patient experience.

The stakes in primary care are high. Primary care physicians, who are the first point of contact for most patients, are leaving the profession at alarming rates. According to the press release, nearly one in three primary care physicians plans to leave practice within three years. The burden of administrative work is a significant contributor to burnout, with 48.2% of primary care physicians experiencing burnout.

Matic is a new clinical intelligence ecosystem built to address these challenges. Founded by Dr. Alex Sheppert, a physician with an MBA and PhD in AI, Matic aims to replace the disconnected patchwork of point solutions with a continuous layer of patient information. The system integrates directly into existing electronic health records (EHRs) and orchestrates panel management, chart preparation, ambient documentation, clinical evidence, coding, inbox management, quality, compliance, communication, and patient follow-up.

The partnership has been recognized by D CEO Magazine, which named Matic and Catalyst Health Group finalists for Outstanding Healthcare Collaboration. The awards will be announced on December 10, 2026. The recognition underscores the significant impact of their collaboration in transforming primary care and addressing the challenges faced by physicians.

Matic is now available to independent primary care practices, physician groups, specialists, and ambulatory care organizations, through direct implementation or the athenahealth marketplace. It works across fee-for-service, value-based, full-risk, and direct care models and installs without re-platforming or extensive training.
