    • Who We Are –
    From Hansei to Benji

    First came Hansei, our parent company specializing in behavioral health revenue cycle management for nearly a decade. By collaborating with providers, we identified a demand for a user-friendly platform to streamline workflows and simplify documentation processes. This need was the driving force behind the creation of Benji, our comprehensive technology solution.

    Erin Burke

    Founder and CEO

    Erin Burke is the Founder and CEO of Hansei Solutions and Benji Health and has been named a 2023 Future Leader by Behavioral Health Business.

    In the realm of healthcare, Erin stands out as a trailblazing visionary. Her forward-thinking approach keeps Hansei on the cutting edge of revenue cycle management and healthcare technology for addiction and mental health treatment providers.

    Quickly becoming an industry leader while accumulating the largest privately held 3rd party RCM data set of facility-based behavioral claims nationwide, her innovation and dedication to clients sparked a transformative partnership with Gulf Capital PE Firm in 2021, marking her as the first female CEO in their portfolio.

    Drawing on over 15 years of expertise in healthcare business engineering, Erin’s astute understanding of companies’ requirements for ensuring patient success has recently culminated in the development of Benji. This billing-centric Electronic Medical Records (EMR) solution is tailored for behavioral healthcare providers, driving compliant workflows across clinical care, documentation, and revenue cycles.

    To be ‘Hansei’ is to reflect on the past and commit to doing better in the future. To stop ‘Hansei’ is to stop learning. At the core, Hansei is an organization committed to growth, enhancing access to treatment, and creating a national brand that aims to drive the economic engine of healthcare.

    When she’s not in her home office or at the Nashville, TN HQ for Hansei, Erin enjoys reading, early morning runs, and exploring the world with her husband and two sons.

Under his leadership at JourneyPure, the treatment center grew from a quaint eight-bed facility to more than 300 beds and 400 employees within a few years. It ultimately became the leading provider of co-occurring services in the Southeast, expanding into four states, five residential centers and 17 outpatient centers. Additionally, Patrick drove the creation and implementation of JourneyPure’s premier aftercare software that allowed peer connection to clients throughout their first year of recovery. This was among numerous technological initiatives he spearheaded to collect and leverage data to influence rates and contracts with payors, EAPs and other organizations.

    Patrick has clinical training and experience as a therapist treating mental health and substance abuse disorders. An avid horse enthusiast, he has consulted on equine therapy services for some of the leading treatment centers nationwide.
