Axuall is honored to be featured in Forbes for our role in shaping the future of healthcare workforce intelligence. The article by Check Warner highlights the emerging “bio‑infrastructure” category—startups building the foundational systems needed to support healthcare providers and organizations nationwide.
By streamlining credentialing and delivering real-time workforce data, Axuall is helping health systems address critical staffing challenges, improve efficiency, and deliver better care. We’re proud to be recognized alongside innovators making healthcare smarter, faster, and more equitable.
Becker’s Clinical Leadership recently featured Axuall following an interview with Dr. Chad Smith, physician executive and former chief medical officer at Mercy Hospital, Oklahoma City. The article highlights how Mercy partnered with Axuall, Microsoft, and Mayo Clinic to create a unified, validated provider data set. This collaboration has significantly improved the speed and accuracy of data collection, allowing Mercy to overhaul its physician onboarding process — reducing onboarding time from 120–140 days to as low as 90 days by automating manual steps with Axuall’s AI-powered technology.
“Once we get that data, it’s much more accurate. We’re having to spend less time and resources on scrubbing the data, reworking the data, and we’re now able to parlay that into completely revamping our onboarding process.” — Dr. Chad Smith, Physician Executive

We’re excited to have our Co-Founder and CEO, Charlie Lougheed’s insights included in Hit Consultant’s 24 Executive Healthcare AI Predictions & Trends to Watch in 2025.
“The AI naysayers of 2024 will be proven wrong. We’re already seeing AI make meaningful strides in reducing documentation workload for healthcare providers. Meanwhile, reducing administrative costs through AI-enabled automation will continue to gain momentum, especially given the lower risk and regulatory burden compared to clinical decision support use cases. While healthcare has always moved slower than other industries, it has hit a capacity limit in costs and resources that will demand additional incorporation from AI technologies.”

We’re thrilled to see our Chief Growth Officer, Zachary Phillips, featured in MedCity News with insights on how to ‘Prioritize Provider Data for Seamless M&A Success.’
“When it comes to mergers and acquisitions (M&As), they tend to mesh in one of two ways: Oil and water or peanut butter and jelly. When organizing the merger of health systems, more mesh equals less mess. However, M&As can be incredibly complex, with cultural, workflow, financial, and technological factors coming into play. There’s a lot more that goes into determining if an M&A makes sense beyond an agreed-upon price. Will it improve care for patients? Will more patients have better access to care? Will it drive more revenue? These are just a few of the questions that are considered ad nauseam before a CEO signs on the dotted line.
Amid these complexities, one crucial element often gets overlooked — provider data. Health systems preparing for an M&A, or even those not immediately considering one, must prioritize a robust workforce data strategy. This approach is essential for navigating today’s increasingly frequent healthcare consolidations. A recent Kaufman Hall report reveals that healthcare M&As are at a seven-year high, making now the time to assess and refine how provider data is managed.”

We’re excited to have our Co-Founder and CEO, Charlie Lougheed’s insights included in Healthcare IT Today’s Healthcare Staffing Shortage and Burnout predictions for 2025!
“The healthcare industry is bracing for significant staffing challenges as we approach 2025, with predictions indicating significant shortages across various roles and license types. In 2025, McKinsey projects the United States will face a critical shortage of 200,000 to 450,000 nurses available for direct patient care, representing a 10% to 20% shortage in the nursing workforce needed to meet patient demand. Similarly, the physician workforce will experience a deficit of 38,000 to 120,000 physicians by 2034. As demand outpaces what medical schools, nursing programs, and other programs can churn out, the healthcare sector must undergo significant changes to address these challenges and adopt new strategies.
There’s an increasing focus on technological integration, with a growing demand for professionals skilled in AI, data science, and robotics. Healthcare organizations also implement flexible work arrangements, including remote and hybrid models, particularly for administrative and support roles. In 2025, healthcare institutions will prioritize workforce sustainability by implementing technologies that enable them to innovate recruitment, onboarding, care team alignment, and retention strategies. Big data and AI will play an increasing role in this.”
