Approach
Healthcare experience. Technology insight. From idea to implementation.
49°N grew out of over a decade working inside BC medical offices, alongside physicians, allied health and dental teams, medical office assistants and clinic managers. We set up new practices, implement provincial systems and solve the problems that don't fit neatly into anyone's job description.
How we work
Six commitments behind every project, whether it is a full clinic launch or a single system.
One point of contact. A wide network behind it.
Every engagement is led by one person who knows your project from start to finish. No handoffs, no repeating yourself. When something falls outside our core expertise, such as specialized workflows or health authority matters, we know the landscape and who handles what, and point you to the right people and services, so you're never left guessing.
On your side. Always.
We work for the practice, not the vendors. We aren't partnered with any vendor, and we don't accept commissions, referral fees or incentives from EMR providers or any other supplier. Every project starts with independent research into what's best for that clinic. When we negotiate, we negotiate for you.
Rooted in BC. Working across Canada.
We know British Columbia's healthcare environment inside out: its provincial systems, its programs and how clinics here actually operate. That practical approach to launching, running and improving practices applies wherever you are.
For every kind of practice.
Family and specialist practices, dental offices, pharmacies, allied health and integrated clinics share many of the same needs, from records systems and referrals to booking and staffing. We tailor the work to how your clinic sees patients, receives referrals and runs its day.
Step by step, not all at once.
We work in short, practical phases. Agile, in the true sense: deliver something useful, check in with your team, adjust, and move to the next piece. You see progress early, and the plan keeps up with how your clinic actually works.
We don't stop at recommendations.
Clients don't get a report and a goodbye. We work through the details, connect the right people and systems, and stay involved until things work.
We know the front desk.
Technology succeeds or fails in the medical office. We've spent years supporting MOAs and clinic managers through new systems, changing workflows and everyday problems, so solutions are chosen and rolled out with the people who will use them every day.
Staying ahead, so you don't have to.
Healthcare technology changes fast. We stay close to it through industry conferences and innovation events, ongoing demos and evaluations of the leading AI scribes, and what physicians are actually using in their clinics. Then we filter it down to what's worth your attention.
Let's see where we can help.
A short conversation is usually enough to find the first useful step.
