“Primary care fails not for lack of clinical talent but for lack of operational governance.”

Five Operational Architectures

Named frameworks developed across two decades of practice spanning three national healthcare systems. Each solves a structural problem that generic management cannot.

The Access Triangle

Balancing new patient access, established patient continuity, and team sustainability — the three forces every scheduling system must govern.

The Chauhan Governance Framework

Five-component template governance that prevents the silent erosion of access infrastructure most organizations never detect.

The TCOC Cascade

A systematic approach to identifying and reducing total cost of care across inpatient, ED, specialty, pharmacy, and post-acute domains.

The Referral Governance Protocol

Four-component referral management architecture for organizations operating under total cost of care accountability.

The Phase Model

A maturity framework for operational transformation: Stabilize → Optimize → Innovate → Lead. Know where you are before you move.

Four Volumes. One System.

Each volume builds on the one before it. Together, they constitute the most comprehensive operational doctrine ever produced for primary care leadership.

Neel Chauhan, MD, MBA

A healthcare operations executive whose career spans three national healthcare systems — the United Kingdom's National Health Service, Canadian provincial healthcare, and the United States — across primary care network management, FQHC governance, health plan administration, and health system transformation.

His operational frameworks for access stabilization, workforce deployment, template governance, and value-based care translation have been implemented across health systems and presented to executive committees and governing boards. His international perspective gives him a unique ability to identify operational principles that transcend payment models and national boundaries.
