Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Atalan Tech (branded as Atalan) is a Boston, Massachusetts-based healthcare IT company that markets what it describes as the first Clinician Retention Intelligence (CRI) platform. The system ingests data health systems already hold, principally electronic health record (EHR) and HR sources, and applies machine learning to identify clinicians and nurses at risk of resigning, to explain the underlying drivers, and to recommend interventions.

The platform's engine analyzes signals including EHR usage, patient volume, patient complexity, length of workday and more than 100 other departure triggers. Outputs include turnover predictions up to 12 months in advance, a 360-degree view of departure triggers, targeted recommended actions and tracking of intervention effectiveness over time. The company positions the product as an early warning system that lets health systems forecast, address and budget for clinical staff burnout and turnover.

The company was founded by a team of Ph.D. scientists and describes itself as women-led. Named leadership includes co-founder and CEO Tiffany Chan, co-founder and Chief Well-being Economist Sisi Hu, Chief Scientific Officer Bart Blackburn and Chief Technical Officer Ram Prayaga.

Founding story

The company was founded by a team of Ph.D. scientists and is described as women-led, with Tiffany Chan as co-founder and CEO and Sisi Hu as co-founder and Chief Well-being Economist.

Business model

B2B SaaS sold to healthcare provider organizations; the platform is deployed against health systems' existing EHR and HR data to deliver retention predictions and interventions.

Traction

The company reported significant client growth in 2023. Marketing materials cite results from a $14 billion multi-state U.S. health system showing a 40% turnover reduction and $29 million in protected annual revenue over the first six months of usage, and a claim of preventing up to 71% of avoidable clinician resignations. Case studies reference a top-20 U.S. health system and a $10-11 billion multi-state health system. In December 2025 the company announced a partnership with Accrete Health Partners, the venture arm of Bon Secours Mercy Health, to launch a new AI module linking clinician retention and patient experience.

▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history

Market position

Positions itself as the first platform in a category it calls Clinician Retention Intelligence, addressing clinician and nurse burnout and turnover in U.S. health systems, where per-physician replacement costs are cited at $800,000 to $2.3 million.

Focuses on forward-looking prediction of individual resignation risk rather than lagging turnover indicators, combining EHR-derived workload signals with HR data, and pairs predictions with recommended interventions and measurement of their effect. The company cites peer-reviewed research and health system case studies as evidence for the approach.

Technology

Machine learning and predictive analytics applied to data extracted from health systems' existing EHR and HR systems. The intelligence engine evaluates signals such as EHR usage, patient volume, patient complexity, length of workday and over 100 additional departure triggers to generate resignation risk predictions up to 12 months ahead, along with driver analysis, recommended interventions and effectiveness tracking.

Go-to-market

Direct enterprise sales to health systems, supported by academic publications, published case studies, industry conference appearances (including the American Conference on Physician Health with partner SSM Health), and collaboration with industry bodies such as the American Hospital Association and The Coalition for Physician & APP Well-Being.

U.S. health systems and healthcare organizations, including large multi-state systems; named or referenced partners and users include SSM Health, Bon Secours Mercy Health, a top-20 U.S. health system and a $10-11 billion multi-state health system.

Geography

Headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, with a mailing address at 24 School Street, 2nd Floor, Boston, MA 02108; customers are U.S. health systems, including multi-state organizations.

History

Atalan Tech raised a $2.5 million seed round announced in October 2023, led by Excelerate Health Ventures and co-led by OCA Ventures with participation from angel investors in healthcare, with proceeds directed to R&D, expanding its interdisciplinary scientific team, and sales and marketing. Its positioning has evolved from AI-powered clinician well-being and burnout prediction toward the broader Clinician Retention Intelligence platform. In December 2025 it announced a partnership with Accrete Health Partners, and in July 2026 it was named as a contributor to a workforce well-being Initiative Intelligence Guide released with the American Hospital Association and other healthcare organizations.
