Sometimes I think about this 💭
If you walked into someone’s home 100 years ago and told them that within a century there would be cars in every driveway, vehicles driving themselves, and airplanes carrying people across the world in hours instead of months—they’d probably call it witchcraft.
The truth is, the pace of technological change has always been staggering. And in healthcare, it feels like we’re standing in the middle of a tidal wave.
As a clinic owner, I see both the excitement and the fear this creates. Practitioners worry about not being able to keep up. They worry about being replaced. And if I’m being honest, sometimes owners and leaders share that same fear—will our model of care, our way of running clinics, still hold up 10 years from now?
What I’ve come to believe is this: technology itself isn’t the threat. The real threat is failing to adapt. Our job as leaders isn’t to protect people from technology—it’s to help them integrate it, govern it, and use it as a tool to make sharper clinical decisions.
Because when you give clinicians autonomy, when you teach them how to connect the dots between human reasoning and technology, their blind spots shrink. Their confidence grows. And ultimately, patients get better, faster, with more optimal outcomes.
The future of clinics isn’t about choosing between humans or technology. It’s about building environments where both can work together—where practitioners feel empowered, not replaced.
