What the work involves
This is a one-time research engagement, not an ongoing evaluation contract. You complete a structured online survey of roughly 30 minutes covering how care actually gets delivered in your setting: patient throughput and scheduling, referral and care-coordination handoffs, documentation burden and EHR habits, staffing constraints, patient communication channels, and your read on where AI tooling would help versus where it would create new work. Most items are structured — ratings, rankings, multiple select — with free-text boxes where the useful detail lives. Answers that name specific systems, specific handoff failures, and specific time sinks are worth more to the sponsoring lab than general agreement that documentation is burdensome.
What the platform screens for
Mercor's screen is short and almost entirely about verification of who you are and what you do. Expect questions on your current role and credential (NP, PA, MD/DO, RN in a direct-care role, or care manager/coordinator), the care setting you work in right now, whether you are actively seeing patients rather than in an administrative or teaching-only post, and how long you have been in ambulatory or community care. Follow-ups tend to test whether your described workflow is real: which EHR, how many patients in a typical session, who closes the loop on an outside referral. Vagueness on setting and clinical activity is the main reason candidates screen out — the study is specifically about ambulatory, outpatient, urgent care, and community settings, so inpatient or purely telehealth-panel work may not fit.
Logistics
- Fully remote, asynchronous, United States only.
- One sitting of about 30 minutes; no scheduled calls, no recurring commitment.
- Observed compensation is $90, paid on successful completion — incomplete or flagged-quality submissions are typically not paid.
- Occasionally participants who give substantive free-text answers get invited to follow-on interview studies, but nothing here guarantees that.
