Description
Provider shortages aren't the only reason patients struggle to get a primary care appointment—scheduling, referrals, and capacity design matter just as much. This panel reframes access as a flow and logistics problem, exploring operational redesigns that expand effective capacity without waiting years for workforce pipelines to catch up.
