    • Canada has more family doctors per capita than ever but “half of Canadians either don’t have a family doctor (19%) or struggle to see the one they have (29%)” (Angus Reid) because they spend more time per patient / patient visit than they used to (PubMed, TheStar).

    • We partly blame the software family doctors need to use. It’s 1990s software not built for the always connected world of today. We think it drives the 18 million hours a year doctors spend on unnecessary administrative work (CFIB), why medical students aren’t interested in becoming family doctors, mid career family doctors leave entirely, and those closer to retirement retire early (OMA).

    • We are working with a coalition of family doctors across the country to collaborate on improving this software.

    • Because it’s shared and freely available, we already fund a full-time software developer to provide better care for you and Canadians everywhere.

    • We think more of this work needs to happen. We can’t do it alone. We are asking those in our community to help if they can.

    • This software is already used to care for millions of Canadians.

    • It’s known as “open source” software that is shared and developed by a community together.

    • It’s the third most popular system used by thousands of family doctors in Canada!

    • Magenta Health and its physicians already effectively contribute more than $100,000 annually towards this software development.
