Healthcare Under Pressure: How Occupass Helps Facilities Stay Ready

Healthcare facilities across Canada are under increasing strain. Chronic staffing gaps, slow credentialing, and workforce burnout are limiting system capacity and placing added pressure on care teams.
Occupass, now available under Pricing Agreemnt #08236 through HealthPRO Canada's Innovation Accelerator Program, was built to help healthcare facilities respond to these challenges with greater clarity, speed, and control.
What It Is
Occupass is a centralized platform that enables hospitals and healthcare facilities to manage staff credentialing, onboarding, scheduling, attendance, compliance communication, and billing reconciliation in real time. Built for complex care environments, Occupass supports both employees and contracted staff within one secure system.
By delivering real-time visibility into workforce readiness, Occupass allows facilities to confirm exactly who is cleared to work by role, unit, and location before a shift begins. Automated verification, time-stamped records, and readiness-aware workflows replace manual tracking and fragmented processes.
Designed for healthcare environments under pressure, Occupass combines purpose-built technology with strong alignment to clinical operations, regulatory requirements, and accreditation standards
Why It Matters
Healthcare workforce pressures continue to intensify across North America. In Canada alone, approximately 180,000 nurse openings are expected between 2022 and 2032, while more than 50 percent of healthcare job postings remain unfilled for over 90 days. At the same time, 22.6 million overtime hours are worked annually, equivalent to roughly 11,500 full-time jobs, and 26 percent of nurses are aged 50 and older, increasing retirement and attrition risk.
These conditions place healthcare facilities at risk of delayed onboarding, expired credentials, last-minute staffing gaps, and reactive audit preparation. Disconnected systems and manual processes increase administrative burden on already stretched teams and can directly impact patient safety, continuity of care, and compliance.
