The Clinic of the Future: How Digital Enablement Is Reshaping Primary Care in Canada

“Rising costs, inflation, and the burden of all this new administrative work has made running a family clinic untenable.”

These aren’t just words—they’re the reality facing thousands of Canadian family physicians today. Dr. Fan-Wah Mang’s experience reflects a crisis that’s affecting primary care practices across the country, where 60% of physicians report that administrative burden is directly contributing to the deterioration of their mental health.

 

But what if there was a proven roadmap to transform your practice? A systematic approach that reduces administrative burden by 8-10 hours per week while recovering $35,000-$45,000 in lost revenue?

 

The Reality of Modern Primary Care

Primary care physicians are drowning in administrative tasks. Between managing patient communications, handling faxes, ensuring accurate billing, maintaining IT systems, and navigating countless other operational demands, the work that drew most physicians to medicine—patient care—has become just one item on an impossibly long to-do list.

 

This administrative overload doesn’t just impact physician wellbeing. It threatens the sustainability of family practices themselves and contributes to the ongoing shortage of primary care access that’s leaving thousands of Canadians without adequate healthcare.

 

A Different Approach: Digital Enablement Across the Entire Spectrum

The solution isn’t simply adding another piece of technology to your practice. True transformation requires digital enablement across the entire spectrum of family practice operations—from patient engagement to clinical workflows to revenue optimization.

 

Our new white paper, “Clinic of the Future: Reshaping Primary Care Through Digital Enablement,” outlines exactly how this transformation happens, drawing on real-world implementation across hundreds of Canadian clinics.
