Understand the need.
Put the right solution into practice.

We help healthcare organizations define their needs, assess options and implement practical, sustainable solutions.

A boutique healthcare consultancy supporting the full journey from assessment to implementation and evaluation, applying advanced technology where it adds value.

Built around the realities
of delivering care.

Our focus is rural, remote and Indigenous community settings, where local priorities, infrastructure and the day-to-day delivery of care shape what is possible.

We work with organizations to connect those realities with practical plans for implementation.

Our services

From defining a need to evaluating a working solution, our core services bring structure to decisions and practical support to delivery.

Strategy & business planning

Strategic roadmaps, business cases, funding proposals, budgets and operating models for healthcare initiatives. Financial modelling can examine costs, potential savings, return on investment and economic impact to support investment decisions.

Community health planning can also be a starting point: clarifying priorities and shaping a practical plan for services.

Needs & readiness assessments

Assessing community needs, infrastructure, staffing and workflows to identify implementation requirements and gaps.

Connect community health priorities with the capacity and resources needed to deliver them.

Solution architecture & technology assessment

Defining requirements, identifying alternative solutions and comparing their fit with clinical needs, workflows and the operating environment. Where technology is appropriate, we assess and select options that support the intended solution.

Implementation & service design

Developing implementation plans, physical layouts and requirements, clinical workflows, change management, protocols and training approaches; coordinating pilots and transition into operations.

Evaluation & scale-up

Evaluating pilots and implemented solutions, establishing ongoing monitoring and reporting, and creating standardized tools and frameworks for expansion.

Health information-sharing agreements

Helping organizations develop and implement health information-sharing agreements. We clarify the purpose and scope of sharing, define organizational roles and responsibilities, coordinate stakeholder input, and support agreement drafting, review and implementation alongside the appropriate privacy and legal advisors.

A clear path.
A collaborative process.

Structured tools, practical frameworks and collaborative planning guide each stage. We start where your organization needs us.

A practical framework, adapted to your context.

Community health planning

Some projects begin with a technology decision. Others begin with a broader question about community health priorities and how services should evolve.

Our strategy and assessment services can support community health planning, linking identified needs with service options, implementation requirements and evaluation priorities.

For rural and remote services, this means considering connectivity, staffing, training, physical space and local workflows together. Planning begins with the priorities identified by the community and the people delivering care.

Health information-sharing agreements

We help organizations develop and implement agreements that establish how health information can be shared between participating organizations.

Our support includes clarifying the purpose and scope of sharing, defining organizational roles and responsibilities, coordinating stakeholder input, and supporting agreement drafting, review and implementation alongside the appropriate privacy and legal advisors.

Business cases
& economic analysis

Before committing resources, understand the costs, expected benefits and assumptions behind a proposed solution.

We develop financial models and business cases to examine implementation and operating costs, potential savings, return on investment and wider economic impacts. Scenario analysis makes assumptions visible and helps compare alternatives.

Funding proposals can translate the preferred approach into a clear case for government, research or other funding opportunities.

SCOPE & FRAME: a tailored planning solution

Co-authored by Joseph P. Deason and Ahmad Rahman, with colleagues

SCOPE and FRAME are digital tools designed around an identified planning need: bringing community and facility information together to support virtual care delivery. The published study describes collaborative development with clinical, community, administrative and software teams, followed by piloting in three Saskatchewan communities.

An example of moving from an identified need to a tailored digital solution, with relevance to needs assessment, solution design and implementation.
