- Describe yourself in 3 words: Passionate, Diligent, Adaptable.
- Favorite board game: Scrabble! Without a doubt, one of the best board games ever created — particularly for someone like me who loves words.
- Favorite books, movies, or TV shows? “Never Split the Difference” by Chris Voss is one of the best books I’ve read recently. Written by a former FBI hostage negotiator, it’s an insightful guide to negotiation and communication.
- Interests outside of work? Cars, both classic and modern. I’ve currently got my eye on an early 1970’s Corvette Stingray!
Journey to PointClickCare
Amandeep’s journey to PointClickCare is a unique one. “Initially, I had aspirations of becoming a police officer, but after completing a policing course at the age of 19, I felt that I wasn’t ready for that path yet,” he explained. Instead, Amandeep decided to go to law school in the U.K., where he was able to broaden his perspective and travel across Europe while earning his degree.
From there, his career took off at Law Help Ontario, where he provided pro-bono legal support. It then evolved into roles at Stryker Medical and Prophix software, where he built out various legal functions specializing in contracts. A long-standing connection with a former colleague in the legal field eventually led him to PointClickCare, where he has been an integral part of the legal function for almost seven years now. “The past seven years have been remarkable because of the opportunity, trust, and exposure PointClickCare has given me to help build out the legal function and contracting across the enterprise,” he shared.
What Amandeep Loves About Working in Legal
The legal field, according to Amandeep, demands analytical thinking, problem-solving skills, and a desire to constantly learn. “Each day often presents a new challenge, demanding legal professionals to delve into research, analyze complex issues, and develop creative arguments. This intellectual stimulation keeps me engaged and continuously growing,” he shared. He also finds the practice of helping PointClickCare navigate various types of contracts and protect its rights to be incredibly rewarding.
Why PointClickCare?
To Amandeep, PointClickCare is not just a company — it’s a trailblazer in the healthcare technology industry. “It is at the forefront of revolutionizing how care is delivered, managed, and coordinated across the continuum. The impact we make on the lives of millions of individuals and the healthcare industry as a whole is simply awe-inspiring,” he described.
Beyond this impact, it’s the company culture that keeps Amandeep on board. “The people here are not just colleagues; they are family. We collaborate, we innovate, and we celebrate each other’s successes,” he explained. The work environment is dynamic, challenging, and constantly evolving, encouraging employees to push boundaries and think outside the box.
Amandeep finds fulfillment in knowing that his and his colleagues’ efforts directly impact the lives of healthcare providers and the patients they care for. “I choose to work for PointClickCare because it aligns with my values, ignites my passion, and offers an environment where I can make a meaningful impact. It’s not just a job; it’s a purpose-driven journey that allows me to contribute to something greater than myself.”
On Leadership
For Amandeep, successful management is a collaborative approach that builds relationships and trust within the team and across the organization. He implements this daily by emphasizing open communication, promoting a shared vision, encouraging collaboration, empowering autonomy, and leading by example. “I strive to create an environment where every team member feels valued and empowered. Together, we can achieve greater success, create innovative solutions, and foster a culture of collaboration within our legal department and throughout PointClickCare.”
