Paediatric hospitals — NAICS 622112 industry report

01

Size and shape

How many businesses there are and how small they are. Fragmentation is the first thing an entrant — or anyone selling software into this industry — needs to know, and it is one of the few things that is actually measured.

500+1063%

Of 16 Canadian establishments with employees, 6% have fewer than ten — an industry where large establishments carry real weight.

Where they areA

Ontario531%

Quebec425%

British Columbia213%

Newfoundland and Labrador16%

Largest four provinces by establishment count. Establishments with employees only — sole operators with no payroll are not in this table, so in trades and personal services the true number of businesses is higher.

Measured, not forecast: the share of US establishments opening in one year that were still active later. It counts good operators and bad ones together, which is exactly why it is the honest answer to “what are the odds”. It is for the whole sector rather than this market, and the ten-year figure comes from an older cohort because no younger one has reached ten years.

No US figure is shown. County Business Patterns is coded to the 2017 US edition of NAICS; this code either does not exist there, names a different industry, or is outside the programme's coverage (most of agriculture, rail, postal and public administration are). A figure is attached only where both the code and the title agree.

How businesses here compete

The structural profile of subsector 622, which every industry beneath it inherits. This is analyst judgment from how the subsector is organised — not research into this industry, and not a measurement.

regional competitionhigh capitalUNVERIFIEDinherited from 622 Hospitals

Publicly funded and governed in Canada. The market is in selling to hospitals, not in being one.

Who sets the price: Government.
The software it runs on: Hospital information systems with decade-long procurement cycles.

Market screens and studies

Market-entry records filed along this branch of the hierarchy. A record at or beneath this code is about this industry; one above it is about something wider that contains it.

Screened one level up. Nothing is filed at this exact code; the screen for 6221 General medical and surgical hospitals covers it.

Hospital Operations & Capacity SoftwareOne thing must be true

binding constraint: incumbent vulnerability

Incumbent Epic Systems

The classic adjacency trap: operational point solutions must integrate with the EHR, and the EHR vendor can build the same feature and bundle it. LeanTaaS and Qventus have both built real businesses here, which proves the wedge exists — and both did it before Epic's operational modules matured. Provincial health authority procurement in Canada adds a public-sector cycle on top. Nothing is disclosed here. Every vendor named on this record is private, or sits inside a parent that does not break the line out, so no revenue floor can be built and the market size is genuinely unknown rather than estimated.

Sold to every industry rather than this one, so they are filed against the software industry's own code. The same few vendors recur across most of them.
