Do Tank helps healthcare organizations and community partners redesign maternal health systems so they deliver reliable, coordinated care across real-world environments. We integrate frontline discovery, clinical strategy, and implementation design to strengthen care continuity, support workforce resilience, and reduce disparities in outcomes.
Maternal health improvement requires more than clinical protocol. It requires understanding how care is experienced across hospitals, emergency services, behavioral health providers, and community networks — and designing solutions that work within those complex systems.
Problems To Solve
Many maternal health initiatives rely heavily on aggregate data or policy mandates while overlooking the realities of frontline care delivery. This often leads to fragmented referral pathways, limited access in rural and underserved communities, workforce strain, and uneven adoption of new models.
Without intentional system design and stakeholder alignment, promising innovations remain isolated pilots rather than scalable improvements.
What We Do
Do Tank helps leaders translate maternal health priorities into coordinated system change. We engage patients, clinicians, administrators, and community partners to identify barriers to access and continuity, then co-design integrated care pathways, referral networks, and workforce support strategies.
Our work often includes redesigning care transitions, developing standardized clinical playbooks, boots-on-the-ground community
research, and creating digital collaboration platforms that strengthen communication and shared learning across providers. Our team has subject matter expertise across a range of maternal health topics, including access deserts, care transitions, perinatal mental health, maternal health equity, hub & spoke models, closed-loop referral platforms, and more.
How We Do It
We begin with field-based discovery — interviews, listening sessions, and care journey mapping — to understand where coordination breaks down and where improvement opportunities exist. Stakeholders then participate in structured design workshops to explore new care models and test improvement strategies.
Rather than finalizing recommendations prematurely, we support organizations in piloting solutions, refining priorities, and building governance and workforce readiness for implementation. Digital tools and performance dashboards help sustain momentum after strategy launch.
Typical Deliverables
Engagements typically produce practical system-design assets such as:
- Maternal health system assessment integrating access, quality, workforce, and community insight
- Patient journey maps identifying barriers across prenatal, delivery, and postpartum care
- Coordinated care pathway and referral network designs
- Equity-informed maternal health strategy roadmap with prioritized initiatives
- Standardized clinical playbooks and workforce training tools
- Digital referral or learning platforms to support real-time collaboration
- Governance and stakeholder alignment frameworks
- Performance dashboards and implementation tracking tools
Our Call to Action
The transition to a proactive maternal health system requires moving beyond static reports and into an active, always-on strategy discipline. We help you bridge the gap between clinical ambition and operational reality by designing the specific governance and implementation architecture needed to scale across complex regions. Our goal is to leave your team with the long-term organizational capability to manage change and sustain workforce participation long after our engagement ends. Let’s design how change actually happens by aligning your institutional priorities with the human needs of your clinicians and patients.
