PDS Health Technologies

What PDS Health Technologies does

PDS Health Technologies is a healthcare technology business unit of PDS Health (formerly Pacific Dental Services, founded 1994) that commercializes a dental-optimized Epic electronic health record (EHR) platform to external healthcare organizations. The unit was launched on April 16, 2025, with Preston Raulerson as President, to take the proprietary Epic instance — originally built and operated for PDS Health's own supported practices — to market via Epic Community Connect. Core capabilities include dental-optimized Epic EHR implementation and management, revenue cycle management, technology and operational consulting, practice operations support, and a network of Epic-trained clinical, operational, and technical staffing. The platform also integrates SOTA Cloud for cloud-native diagnostic imaging and Epic Cosmos for research data access.

The company sells enterprise-grade healthcare technology to four primary vertical segments: dental schools, health systems, dental service organizations (DSOs), and private dental practices. Recent flagship wins include University of Michigan School of Dentistry (November 2025), University of the Pacific Arthur A. Dugoni School of Dentistry (March 2026), ADA Forsyth Institute (June 2026), and High Point University Workman School of Dental Medicine. The platform underpins more than 14 million unique patients across 1,250+ sites of care and processes more than half of all Epic-scheduled dental appointments worldwide.

Revenue is generated through managed services (EHR technology services, revenue cycle management) and professional services (consulting, staffing), with pricing quote-based and customized to organizational needs. The company is privately held under PDS Health — described as a $3 billion national healthcare organization — with no external institutional funding rounds disclosed. Operations are U.S.-domestic with headquarters in Henderson, Nevada, and a corporate presence in Irvine, California. Information security is governed by an ISO/IEC 27001:2022-aligned ISMS. PDS Health Technologies does not disclose proprietary AI/ML capabilities; automation and clinical decision support referenced in its materials appear to be Epic's native functionality rather than differentiated in-house AI.
