About Our Services

What Our Clients Are Saying

We Build the Framework

ScaffoldMED exists to fix the frameworks that slow practices down. We understand the daily reality of running a practice, the back-office, the front desk, and everything in between. We’ve endured the operational chaos – the disconnected vendors, the inefficient data flow, the constant firefighting that drains time and energy.

Our physicians and administrators dared to ask why. Why did billing, EMR, IT, HR, compliance, and marketing all exist on separate systems and programs? Why did each office function require a specific way to contact a specific individual, who is only available at a specific day of the week? It didn't make sense. Surely, there had to be a better way.

Our systems evolved inside a real, multi-location healthcare organization. For years, we’ve tested, refined, and proved them before offering them to other practices as a scalable solution. Our team of healthcare operators know what works. Our framework doesn’t just patch problems; it eliminates friction at the root. ScaffoldMED turns fragmented operations into a unified structure that frees physicians and teams to focus on care — while driving performance, profitability, and peace of mind.

Learn More About ScaffoldMED: Healthcare Operators, Not Outsiders

medical professionals discussing the drug options for their patient

Dr. John Rush founded ScaffoldMED after decades of building and scaling healthcare practices across the country. He kept seeing the same pattern: strong clinicians and dedicated staff restricted by disconnected systems and unnecessary complexity. Each vendor solved a single problem, but often created three new ones.

Dr. Rush designed a framework for how a practice actually operates. He began with the belief that when healthcare practices run better, healthcare itself gets better.

We see our work as more than operational support. ScaffoldMED unites the business of care into a single, scalable structure. It bridges technology, operations, and strategy to give every practice the backbone it needs to thrive. Every process we simplify and every system we strengthen frees providers to do what they were called to do — care for people.

Dr. John Rush, MD, FACEP, MBA, MHA, Founder of ScaffoldMED

Dr. John Rush is a nationally recognized physician and healthcare executive with more than three decades of experience building and scaling medical practices across the United States. As both a clinician and an operator, he has seen firsthand how fragmented systems and operational inefficiencies can limit even the most capable teams.

“I've always believed that when we make healthcare operations more efficient, we make patient care stronger.”

In addition to his role at ScaffoldMED, Dr. Rush serves as Chief Executive Officer of Arthritis Knee Pain Centers, one of the nation’s leading providers of non-surgical osteoarthritis treatments. Across every organization he leads, Dr. Rush’s focus remains the same — empowering teams, improving systems, and helping patients live healthier, more active lives.
