The Top 5 Things You Need to Know About Jane App to Optimize Your Practice for Growth in 2026

By Gen Drummond, CEO, Hummingbird Clinical Consulting

As we step into a new year, many practice owners are asking the same question I hear every January:

“How do I grow my practice without burning myself (or my team) out?”

In 2026, sustainable growth isn’t about doing more—it’s about building smarter systems that support excellent care, efficient operations, and a great client experience. At Hummingbird Clinical Consulting, we work with practices across the North America and one platform consistently stands out as a growth enabler when it’s used intentionally: Jane App.

Jane is far more than a scheduling tool. When leveraged strategically, it becomes the backbone of a scalable, client-centered practice.

Here are the top five things you need to know about Jane App to set your practice up for growth in 2026.

1. Jane Is a Growth Platform—Not Just an EHR

Many practices only scratch the surface of what Jane can do. They use it to book appointments, write notes, and send invoices—but stop there.

In reality, Jane is designed to support:

• Multi-provider practices

• Multiple service types and price points

• Hybrid models (in-person, virtual, group, workshops)

• Delegation across admin and clinical teams

If your practice is growing—or you want it to—Jane can scale with you without needing a system overhaul every two years. The key is building workflows intentionally from the start rather than patching things together as you grow.

2. Online Booking Is a Revenue Tool (When Set Up Correctly)

Online booking isn’t just about convenience—it’s about conversion.

In 2026, clients expect:

• Clear service descriptions

• The right provider matched to their needs

• Minimal back-and-forth before booking

Jane allows you to:

• Control who can book what and when

• Limit availability strategically

• Funnel clients into the right services first

When online booking is configured thoughtfully, practices see higher booking rates, fewer mismatches, and better client retention—all of which directly impact revenue.

3. Automation Protects Your Team from Burnout

Growth often breaks practices not because of lack of demand, but because admin systems can’t keep up.

Jane’s features—like appointment reminders, intake forms, waitlists, and payment processing—reduce the cognitive load on your team and eliminate repetitive tasks.

The practices that thrive in 2026 will be the ones that:

• Automate wherever possible

• Free up human energy for connection and care

• Use systems to support their people, not replace them

This is one of the most overlooked—and powerful—growth strategies I see.

4. Your Data Tells You When (and How) to Grow

Jane’s reporting features give you insight into:

• Practitioner utilization

• Revenue by service or provider

• Client retention trends

Instead of guessing when to hire, expand hours, or add new services, you can use real data to guide decisions. Growth becomes proactive instead of reactive—and far less stressful.

5. Systems Create Freedom—Not Restriction

One concern I often hear is, “I don’t want systems to make my practice feel rigid.”

In reality, strong systems:

• Create consistency for clients

• Make onboarding easier for new team members

• Allow owners to step out of day-to-day chaos

Jane gives you the structure you need so you can focus on leadership, vision, and impact—whether that means growing a team, reducing your caseload, or finally taking real time off.

A Quick Self-Assessment: Is Your Jane App Set Up for Growth?

Take a moment and answer yes or no to the questions below:

• ☐ Do clients consistently book the right service and provider on the first try?

• ☐ Are your admin and clinicians protected from unnecessary manual tasks?

• ☐ Can you easily see when you’re at capacity—or when it’s time to grow?

• ☐ Does your system support your long-term vision, not just today’s needs?

• ☐ Could your practice run smoothly if you stepped away for a week?

  
  

If you answered “no” or “I’m not sure” to two or more of these, your Jane setup may be holding your growth back—not because Jane can’t do it, but because it hasn’t been optimized yet.
