Why clinics feel the pain

• Sudden spikes crash the phone tree

• Multi-location groups can’t rebalance quickly

• Leadership lacks data to justify headcount

• Staff can’t answer while triaging in clinic

• Labs + imaging partners call for follow up

• Patients expect English and French coverage even for after-hours triage.
