Doctors In Network is committed to lasting change.

Improving access to high-quality surgical care—especially in underserved areas—takes more than stopgap fixes. It requires a systems-level approach, long-term thinking, and earned trust from the communities we serve.

It also requires giving physicians new ways to practice. As surgical demand rises, we need more flexible models that support both patient care and provider sustainability. That means reallocating existing resources—OR time, surgical talent, care coordination—more intelligently.

That’s why we’re publishing a series of white papers grounded in real-world data and informed by the people doing the work—surgeons, hospital leaders, and health system operators.

These papers break down the structural barriers facing modern surgical practice and explore what’s actually working on the ground. As the landscape continues to evolve, we’ll keep sharing what we’re learning—and where we see real opportunities to build something better.
