This webinar – scheduled for September 15, 2026, at 1 pm ET (12 pm CT, 11 am MT, 10 am PT) – is eligible for ACMPE, ACHE (live only), CPE (live only), PDC (live only) and CEU credit, and will be made available as a recording.

Patient access has become one of the defining operational and strategic challenges facing medical groups. It's no longer just about answering phones or filling schedules. It's about connecting patients to the right care while making the best use of limited clinical capacity.

In this session, medical group leaders will examine how growing demand, increasingly complex scheduling rules, fragmented workflows, staffing constraints, and rising patient expectations are exposing the limitations of traditional access models. Speakers will explore where friction occurs across scheduling, referrals, intake, and patient communication, and why measuring call abandonment or speed to answer alone fails to capture whether patients actually reach care.

Through real-world examples, attendees will learn a practical framework for identifying operational bottlenecks, measuring access more holistically, and prioritizing changes that improve patient access, reduce staff burden, and unlock existing clinical capacity.

This 60-minute webinar will provide you with the knowledge to:

• Identify where patients encounter friction across the access journey and how it affects capacity, staff, and patient experience
• Evaluate patient access using measures that extend beyond traditional call center metrics
• Prioritize workflow changes based on organizational impact
