Putting Advanced Practice Providers at the Center of GI Care
Specialty care has long been built around physicians, and in gastroenterology, most of those physicians are men. Yet the majority of GI outpatients are women. The clinicians who spend the most time helping them manage chronic symptoms, preventive screenings, and cognitive work are also most often women: Advanced Practice Providers (APPs).
Over the past decade, private equity roll-ups, hospital acquisitions, and physician retirements have reshaped gastroenterology. APPs, however, rarely benefit from those shifts even though they shoulder much of the same cognitive work as physicians. Too often they face rigid schedules, limited flexibility, and a constant struggle to get time with supervising doctors who are pulled in multiple directions.
At WovenX Health, we see APPs as the key to solving GI access and building a system that truly meets the needs of patients. Here is how we are making that happen:
- Hiring top APP talent and giving them the freedom to work from home on schedules they control.
- Creating a collaborative culture where they support each other on an AI-enhanced platform with real-time access to experienced physicians for complex cases.
- Elevating their voices by involving them in leadership roles, product development, and oversight responsibilities.
By placing APPs at the center, we are maximizing their potential and transforming access to specialty care, starting with gastroenterology.
If you are a smart, tech-savvy, empathetic clinician who wants to join a company purpose built for APPs that is dramatically accelerating GI access, we would love to talk.
