Plan the clinic before the clinic has to run.
Workstations. Wi-Fi. Printers. Payments. Phones. Rooms. Vendors. The small decisions become the way your hospital works every day. Make them together before they become expensive to undo.
What has to be true for the day to feel easy?
Foundation Stack works backward from the real clinic day. Not “how many computers should we buy?” but where people work, what they need in that moment, and what has to connect for the next person to keep moving.
The clinic is one system before the software ever opens.
People + workstations
What each room and role actually needs — front desk, exam rooms, treatment, surgery, pharmacy, doctors and managers.
Hardware + handoffs
Label printers, barcode scanners, payment terminals, receipt flow, tablets and the small devices that quietly control throughput.
Network + resilience
Wi-Fi coverage, wired drops, backup internet, UPS planning and the infrastructure needed to keep clinical work moving.
Vendors + build decisions
A practical review of plans from IT, phones, internet, builders and other vendors before expensive decisions become permanent.
Start with the same questions we ask.
The Clinic Launch & Readiness Kit is free. Use it with us, with your own vendors, or entirely on your own.

Turn the opening plan into a list of decisions that actually need owners.
Foundation Stack Planner
Map hardware and network decisions and the questions to ask vendors.
Day-One Workflow Blueprint
Visualize how patients, clients, records, payments and people move through the building.
Team Time Reclaim Worksheet
Identify work that is likely to become repetitive, manual or unnecessarily duplicated.
Future-Ready Clinic Scorecard
Pressure-test readiness for modern workflow, payments, connected systems and newer automation.
Someone has to own the decision.
Teams should have input. But a build, implementation or migration cannot run on unresolved committee decisions. We help identify a clear operational anchor with enough authority to keep decisions moving.

Straight answers before you plan.
Do I have to buy PawthosX One to use Foundation Stack?
No. Foundation Stack is available as a standalone planning service. You can use the work even if PawthosX is not the software you ultimately choose.
Is this only for brand-new hospitals?
No. New builds are an obvious fit because infrastructure decisions are still flexible, but Foundation Stack can also help with remodels, network refreshes, checkout redesigns, new hardware, or a software transition.
Does this replace my IT company or builder?
No. The job is to help the clinic think like an operator before specialist vendors execute. Foundation Stack does not replace qualified networking, electrical, construction, security, phone, or IT professionals.
What should I bring to a review?
Whatever exists: floor plans, workstation counts, vendor quotes, network proposals, printer lists, payment hardware, phone plans, opening timelines, or even a rough sketch of how you expect the day to work.
The cheapest problem is the one you catch before opening day.
Bring the plans, quotes and assumptions. We’ll help turn them into one clinic that can actually run.
