Patients and caregivers coordinate fragmented medical care by hand
People managing ongoing or complex care often have to coordinate referrals, appointments, insurance tasks, records, and visit notes across multiple providers and separate systems. They resort to repeated calls, re-entering information, and relying on family members; the effort can delay or interrupt care, and some people avoid dealing with the system altogether. A standalone tool could organize these tasks, but it cannot make providers respond faster or connect records that health systems keep siloed.
For patients and family caregivers managing care across multiple providers. Mentioned from Jan 2024 to Sep 2026 on Bluesky and Hacker News.

Daily calls to confirm if they have referred you yet. Schedule monthly (then weekly) appointments for them to advise on care while waiting on your appointment with endocrinology
Just KEEPING her psych, but switching insurances and getting re-pre-approval for appointments/scrips from the new insurance caused a 3 month gap in care when her meds ran out
