Rebuilding Access to Care in the Age of AI
An MPH-led initiative exploring how AI can reduce provider burnout, improve patient access, and reshape care delivery systems.
Built alongside real-world providers and underserved populations.
The Relationship at the Center of Care
At its core, healthcare has always been simple:
A provider and a patient, working together toward better health.
But over time, layers have been built around that relationship:
- Administrative systems
- Insurance complexity
- Documentation burden
- Fragmented workflows
Many of these were created with good intentions.
Today, they often stand between providers and the people they are trying to care for.
“The provider-patient relationship is sacred. Everything else in healthcare should exist to support it — or be removed.”
The System Isn't Broken — It's Fragmented
Patients struggle to find the right provider
Providers are overwhelmed by administrative burden
Access to care is inconsistent and inequitable
Technology has added complexity instead of clarity
AI has the potential to change this — but only if it is built with providers, not just for them.
This Starts With Listening
Before building solutions, this initiative is focused on understanding:
Where providers are experiencing the most friction
Where access to care is breaking down
How AI is already changing workflows
Where human-centered care is becoming more important
This is not a finished product.
This is a collaborative effort to define what should be built next.
Most People Are Building. We're Asking First.
Healthcare does not need more disconnected solutions. It needs clarity.
Before introducing new tools, we believe it is critical to:
Listen to providers
Understand real-world constraints
Identify where systems are breaking down
Define where technology can actually help
Where Human Care Becomes More Valuable
Healthcare is entering a period of rapid transformation.
AI is already beginning to reduce the need for certain administrative and repetitive tasks: documentation, scheduling, basic triage.
But this does not eliminate the need for healthcare workers. It reshapes where they are needed most.
As technology removes friction, the value of human-centered care increases.
Emerging Areas
In-Home & Longitudinal Care
Extended care relationships that technology cannot replicate
Behavioral & Mental Health
Human connection at the core of treatment
Patient Navigation
Guiding patients through complex care journeys
Community-Based Care
Serving underserved and vulnerable populations
Hands-On Clinical Roles
Physical care that requires human presence
Responsibility
There is a responsibility for those building in this space to help healthcare workers adapt, create new pathways into emerging roles, and ensure technology supports providers rather than displacing them.
From Insight to Research
All contributions will be aggregated, anonymized, and analyzed through a public health framework.
These insights will be developed into:
Comprehensive Research Report
Detailed analysis of provider perspectives and access challenges
Provider-Informed Perspective
Real-world insights on AI adoption in healthcare settings
Roadmap for Improving Access
Actionable framework for addressing care delivery gaps
Participants will receive access to the final findings.
Help Shape the Future of Care
Your insights will be aggregated, anonymized, and analyzed through a public health framework to inform how technology can better serve healthcare.
What This Could Become
Potential future directions include:
AI-powered provider-patient matching
Decentralized care models
Off-site or hybrid clinics
Workflow automation tools
These are exploratory and will be shaped by real-world input.
Looking Ahead
QClinics may evolve into a platform, a network, or a care infrastructure layer.
But today, the focus is: Listening first. Building second.
