Why Canadian Clinics Need Outsourced Scheduling
Clinics often rely on in-house teams juggling appointment bookings, insurance verifications and reminders. This leads to:
- High no-show rates, affecting revenue and scheduling efficiency
- Administrative overload that diverts focus from patient care
- Data risk under strict privacy regulations such as PHIPA and PIPEDA
As Statistics Canada noted in early 2025, Canadian healthcare continues to face emergency department overcrowding, provider shortages and staff burnout. At the same time, the healthcare BPO market is growing rapidly: a 2021–2026 CAGR of 9.6% is projected, with cost-saving and operational flexibility being the key drivers.
