Enhancing Clinic Performance through AI Integration, Strategic Leadership, and Regulatory Compliance: Evidence from a Canadian Healthcare Enterprise

Abstract

This study investigates the impact of AI integration, strategic leadership, and regulatory compliance on clinic performance within the context of private healthcare in Ontario, Canada. Drawing on practical insights from Nature life Health Centre, led by Kamal Khan, the research explores how emerging technologies and managerial competencies converge to shape operational success. AI integration includes the deployment of intelligent systems for diagnostics, patient flow optimization, and administrative automation. Strategic leadership is reflected in visionary planning, staff management, and performance assessment, while regulatory compliance encompasses adherence to Canadian healthcare standards and quality audits. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 200 healthcare professionals and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). Findings reveal that all three independent variables significantly and positively influence clinic performance, with AI integration emerging as the most influential driver. The study demonstrates how combining digital innovation with strong leadership and compliance mechanisms enhances revenue generation, patient satisfaction, and service efficiency. This research contributes to the growing discourse on digital transformation in healthcare and provides actionable insights for policymakers and clinic managers aiming to foster sustainable, high-performing healthcare environments in the era of intelligent technologies.
