4-Week Business Preparedness Series for Healthcare Professionals
What Happens When You’re Gone …
Are you a healthcare professional who has built a meaningful practice—yet most of what keeps it running lives in your head? What happens to your business, your patient records, and your clients if you ever needed to step away unexpectedly—temporarily or permanently?
Healthcare professionals, especially those in regulated fields, face unique responsibilities when it comes to planning for absence, incapacity, or eventual retirement. For example, under Ontario’s Personal Health Information Protection Act (PHIPA), regulated professionals may be considered Health Information Custodians (HICs) and have obligations around the management, security, and transfer of patient records, including contingency plans and successor designations for their practice records.
This 4-Week Business Preparedness Series has been updated to meet the needs of healthcare professionals—whether you are a psychotherapist, psychologist, counsellor, physiotherapist, chiropractor, RMT, audiologist, naturopath, osteopath, or other regulated or private practice clinician.
You’ll receive guided support to organize your practice details, clarify your responsibilities around client and patient information, and create real continuity for your business and clients.
Why This Matters for Healthcare Professionals
Healthcare practices operate with sensitive information and professional obligations. If you ever become unavailable:
Patient records must be managed appropriately and securely.
Contingency plans and successor designees need to be documented.
PHIPA and regulatory requirements must be considered alongside business continuity.
Your clients, staff, and family need clarity—not guesswork.
This series helps you address all of that in a structured, thoughtful way.
What You’ll Walk Away With
By the end of this 4-week program, you will have:
Practice Organization
✔ A centralized, organized record of your practice’s critical information, including operational, administrative, and contact details.
✔ Clear documentation of what matters most in your practice—patient records, professional contacts, financial accounts, insurance, referral networks, access credentials, and more.
Continuity Planning
✔ A documented contingency plan for short-term and long-term absence—including step-by-step procedures for practice management, patient notifications, appointment rescheduling, and regulatory reporting.
✔ A succession checklist aligned with professional obligations and relevant privacy standards (e.g., PHIPA, HIC plans), to support a transition if you are incapacitated or no longer practicing.
✔ Guidance on naming or preparing applicable successors (e.g., colleagues, legal representatives, practice managers) who can assist with records and continuity as appropriate.
Communication + Documentation
✔ A customized, guided planner that consolidates practice information and procedures in a way your team or designated representative can follow.
✔ A practical understanding of what information to share (and how) with trustees, executors, or successors, while respecting confidentiality and privacy laws governing health records.
✔ Greater peace of mind knowing your practice, clients, and family are protected regardless of life’s unpredictability.

What This Program Is (and Is Not)
This program IS:
A guided, structured process to document your practice and obligations
Practical and relevant to healthcare professionals
Designed with privacy, patient records, and accessibility in mind
Focused on clarity, continuity, and peace of mind
This program IS NOT:
Legal advice or regulatory compliance training
A replacement for formal consultations with regulatory, legal, or privacy professionals
A passive course you watch “someday”
You’ll be supported, guided, and encouraged—but you remain in control of your planning choices.
Why Now?
As clinicians and healthcare business owners, it’s easy to put this off until something forces the issue. But planning proactively lets you make decisions calmly, ensures your clients are protected, and gives your family and practice a clear path forward—before it’s needed.
Preparedness isn’t about fear.
It’s about responsibility, care, and professionalism.
Register Today!
Organize your practice details and support your clients, family, and colleagues with clarity and confidence.
I know thinking about a future where you aren’t here to care for and protect your family is awkward and uncomfortable.
But that’s why I’m doing this and that’s why you need to do this too!
Because death, illness, accidents, disease, injuries, and age happen – whether we are planned for them or not.
Preparedness is an act of responsibility—not fear.
