Scriptura Health

Meet the founders of Scriptura Health

Less work around the visit. A care plan patients can follow.

Your appointment ends. The work around it keeps going.

Records need reviewing. Your team answers questions about instructions, follows up on incomplete tests, and prepares for the next visit.

John Murray and Sabrina Runbeck, MPH, MHS, PA-C, co-founded Scriptura Health to help clinicians manage that work and help patients understand their care.

Scriptura is being built for licensed practitioners in longevity, functional, preventive, regenerative, and precision medicine. The focus is organized clinical review, less repetitive preparation, and patient instructions that remain useful after the appointment.

Our purpose

How much of your day goes to the work around the visit?

Outside records need gathering. Results need reviewing. Explaining recommendations again and chasing follow-up can involve the whole team.

A record may omit a previous treatment or a patient’s goals. Symptoms can change between visits, and results from different specialists may need reviewing together. A thorough evaluation also depends on examination, clinical reasoning, appropriate testing, and follow-up.

We’re building Scriptura to reduce repeated preparation and make this information easier to review.

The work around the visit

  • Gathering outside records
  • Reviewing results
  • Explaining recommendations again
  • Chasing follow-up
In a 2020 descriptive study, chart review accounted for 33% of physicians’ electronic health record time during outpatient encounters. This measures existing work, not time saved by Scriptura. [6]
In a 2005 study across 32 primary-care clinics, clinicians reported missing important clinical information in 13.6% of visits. [1]

Sabrina’s focus

What can we take off the clinician’s list?

Sabrina focuses on the preparation that happens before a practitioner can make a decision: gathering records, finding relevant research, and coordinating updates from patients and the care team.

We are building tools to organize that material into a reviewable draft plan for clinician approval, so teams don’t have to repeat the same administrative preparation at each visit.

Co-Founder & CEO

Who is John Murray?

Patient advocate with a background in coordinating people, ingredients, and experiences

John spent 10 years as a chef, learning how ingredients work together and how every part of a kitchen must coordinate to deliver a consistent result. Timing, preparation, communication, and execution all affect what reaches the table.

He then spent another 15 years in account management and luxury sales, listening to individual needs, coordinating teams, and managing relationships where details matter.

His reason for co-founding Scriptura is personal. After years of searching for answers about his own health, he wanted care that connected his symptoms, history, and options into a picture he could understand.

That experience shapes his work at Scriptura: bringing the right people and information together while keeping the patient’s experience at the center.

John’s focus

Your care plan should make sense when you get home

John’s focus is what patients can understand and use after a visit. We’re building Scriptura CareGPS around a living health record and instructions patients can return to when questions come up.

In a 2018 study of 189 outpatient cardiology and nephrology encounters, patients accurately recalled 49% of decisions and recommendations without prompting one week later. Another 36% were recalled with prompting. [5]

Patients shouldn’t have to rely on memory alone. We’re building plain-language explanations of what to take, when, why it was recommended, and when to review progress, with space to record questions.

What patients can return to

Reminders and check-ins are intended to help patients record what they took and how they felt. But remembering isn’t the only barrier: cost, access, daily responsibilities, or side effects can make a plan difficult to follow. Those concerns need a conversation with the care team, not pressure to keep following a plan that isn’t workable or feels unsafe.

Barriers worth a conversation

“the patient should own the continuity, and the healthcare ecosystem should plug into them. Not the other way around.”
John Murray

Our approach

What are we building together?

We are building clinician decision support for reviewing records, weighing therapeutic options, and communicating a plan patients can use.

Our framework

The Sequence Method™

The Sequence Method™ is Scriptura’s framework for organizing patient information, relevant evidence, clinical priorities, and monitoring needs into a care plan the practitioner can review and edit. The practitioner remains responsible for approving and signing the plan.

  1. Before: Bring the history together

    What comes together

    We’re building a way to organize the patient’s history, concerns, previous treatments, and test results before the visit, including any tests the clinician has requested.

  2. During: Bring clinical perspectives together

    Perspectives in the review

    In the ICU, multidisciplinary rounds bring different professionals together around one patient. That breadth of reasoning informs our approach, but Scriptura is being built as clinical information support, not a staffed multidisciplinary team.

    The aim is to bring relevant information from medicine, pharmacy, nutrition, rehabilitation, and appropriate integrative care into the practitioner’s review. Evidence and regulatory information can inform that review; they don’t guarantee safety or compliance.

    Testing might involve routine laboratory work, hormones, genetics, or selected microbiome tests, depending on the clinical question. Evidence, limitations, safety, and relevance matter more than the number of tests.

  3. After: Keep care workable when life gets busy

    What patients get

    We’re building explanations of recommendations patients can revisit, reminders for clinician-requested repeat testing, and patient-reported tracking of symptoms, exercise, nutrition, and responses to the plan.

    We also aim to help patients explore eligible home-collection kits or in-home sample collection where the ordered test, location, and service availability allow. Some testing will still require a collection site.

    We aim to keep referrals and other care options linked to the existing plan, rather than leaving patients to piece together the follow-up.

Our aim is to keep the health record, plan, clinician-authorized test orders, and patient updates in one workflow. For patients, Scriptura CareGPS is being built as a place to find their instructions and share what’s changed without reconstructing it all at the next visit.

Looking for answers

What if your results look normal, but you still don’t feel like yourself?

A reassuring result matters. So does understanding what it explains and what remains unanswered.

For a woman experiencing changes around perimenopause, the concern may be disrupted sleep, difficulty concentrating, changes in her cycle, or feeling less able to manage a demanding day.

She wants her experience taken seriously and considered in context.

The next step should come from a thoughtful clinical assessment. That includes listening to symptoms and history, considering other possible explanations, and deciding which tests, if any, would help.

Staying active

What if you want to perform well and keep doing what you love?

You may be training for competition, returning to the court, or protecting the weekend activity that helps you feel like yourself.

But fatigue keeps interrupting training. Recovery feels slower. An old injury keeps becoming part of the conversation.

For active people, useful care means considering training demands, recovery, nutrition, sleep, previous injuries, and medical history together.

The goal is a clearer understanding of what deserves attention and a clinician-guided plan that fits the person’s health and activity goals.

Behind the platform

What are the people behind the platform like?

We laugh together and challenge each other’s assumptions. John asks what a patient will understand at home; Sabrina asks what a care team will need to review at the next visit.

Clinical context

Does personalized care always mean more testing?

No. It means choosing the evaluation that fits the person’s symptoms, history, examination, and circumstances.

For example, perimenopause can often be identified from symptoms and menstrual changes without hormone testing in otherwise healthy people aged 45 or older. [4]

Who makes treatment decisions?

The treating practitioner decides which tests and treatments are appropriate and signs the plan. Scriptura is being built to organize information for that review.

Explore the clinician perspective

Will patients be able to collect samples at home?

We’re working toward collection options where the ordered test, location, and service availability allow. Not every test can be collected at home.

Could less preparation create capacity for a practice?

If repetitive work takes less time, a practice might use that time for additional visits or a shorter working day. Any revenue opportunity depends on time actually saved, staffing, appointment demand, and costs. It isn’t an achieved Scriptura result.
