Why I Built Provider.app (A Clinic-Centered Approach to Fixing Healthcare)

Healthcare providers didn’t sign up to be buried in admin work, paperwork, and endless spreadsheets. Yet every day, clinic owners and providers spend hours tracking data, managing schedules, and navigating fragmented systems—time that should be spent on patient care.

This isn’t just a business problem—it’s personal.

What Opened My Eyes to These Inefficiencies

Over the past decade, I’ve seen firsthand how a broken system creates extra work for both providers and patients. My parents spent years navigating a complex healthcare system, and what struck me most wasn’t just their struggle as patients.

It was seeing overworked, burnt-out providers who weren’t lacking skill or dedication, but were forced to work within an inefficient system.

I saw the same issues everywhere:

  • Providers spending more time on paperwork than on care
  • Administrative tasks slowing decision-making
  • Manual processes leading to missed follow-ups, errors, and lost revenue

The root cause wasn’t the providers themselves—it was the system they were working in.

How I Discovered the Same Struggles in Clinics

After advising more than 50 clinics, I realized these inefficiencies weren’t limited to hospitals. Private practices, clinics, and healthcare businesses faced the same frustrations:

  • Overwhelming admin tasks that take time away from patient care
  • Scheduling issues leading to last-minute cancellations and lost revenue
  • Scattered data across multiple platforms, making it hard to make clear decisions
  • Spreadsheets and manual reports that require hours of upkeep but yield limited insights

I met highly skilled clinicians burning out—not because they lacked business skills, but because they were stuck using outdated tools.

That’s why I built Provider.app.

Provider.app: Fixing the Workflow Problems Few Talk About

I couldn’t change what happened to my parents, but I could help address the system that failed both patients and providers.

After working with dozens of clinics and owners, I spent 18 months designing a solution to tackle the inefficiencies that hold clinics back.

What Provider.app Does—and Why It Matters

Provider.app isn’t just another software tool. It’s designed to help clinic owners streamline operations, reduce admin overhead, and get real-time insights without wrestling with spreadsheets.

Here are some of the biggest pain points it solves:

  • Drowning in spreadsheets? Provider.app automates key performance tracking so you always know how your clinic is doing.
  • Losing revenue from last-minute cancellations? Automated rebooking reminders help fill empty slots and reduce no-shows.
  • Too much admin work? AI-powered automation handles repetitive tasks like staff performance tracking and patient visit summaries.
  • Need a clearer view of clinic performance? A real-time dashboard (connected to Jane.app) provides actionable insights at a glance.

A Better Future for Clinics Starts Now

I built Provider.app for clinic owners, managers, and providers who believe running a clinic shouldn’t be this hard.

If you’re tired of spreadsheets, manual reports, and slow decision-making, you’re not alone. And there’s a better way.
