Why Virtual Assistants Matter in Primary Care
Family doctors are facing mounting pressures, with many spending 18 hours a week on administrative tasks outside of direct patient care. Unfortunately, these non-clinical duties are contributing to 70% of family doctors experiencing burnout – leading some to retire early or leave the profession altogether. By 2026, 1 in 5 Ontarians will be unattached to a family doctor due to these challenges. We need to act now to support doctors and their teams.
Our virtual assistants are designed to help clinicians reclaim their time, reduce burnout, and ensure patients receive the proactive care they need – without added administrative burdens.
Speed & efficiency
Virtual assistants are up to 6 times faster than manual labour, allowing clinicians to dedicate more time to patient care and higher-value tasks, helping to ease the heavy workload and reduce stress.
Proactive care & population health
Virtual assistants enable data in clinical systems to be leveraged for proactive care interventions and population health management – without extra administrative effort, ensuring better outcomes for patients.
Reducing clinician burnout
By automating administrative tasks, virtual assistants help alleviate the administrative burden on clinicians, reducing the risk of burnout. With virtual assistants taking on tedious work, healthcare providers can focus on what really matters: delivering care.
