Improving Access and Efficiency with Accurate Provider Data: Insights from Cleveland Clinic and Axuall

Becker’s Healthcare recently featured a live podcast episode from its 15th Annual Meeting, highlighting a conversation between Kate Neal, IT Director of Access Innovations and CRM at Cleveland Clinic, and Charlie Lougheed, CEO & Founder of Axuall.

Together, they explore how accurate provider data is foundational to improving patient access, care coordination, and workforce optimization. The discussion also touches on the transformative impact of automation and analytics in replacing outdated, manual processes across healthcare.
