The Patient Access Collaborative

Improving patient access to ambulatory care through collaboration, expertise, and passion.

Since 2011, the Patient Access Collaborative has provided a forum for the nation’s largest and most prestigious health systems to discuss and advance initiatives that can vastly improve patient access to ambulatory care.

This invitation-only community consists of leaders from academic health systems and children’s hospitals across the nation. Together, our members operate multi-specialty ambulatory enterprises that manage anywhere from half a million to more than six million patient encounters a year. Collectively, one out of every five outpatient encounters in the United States is performed by one of our members today.
