Consolidating HealthTech Vendors?

When selecting a patient engagement vendor, practices should look beyond surface-level features to find a solution that actually simplifies operations, enhances patient experiences and drives measurable ROI. The most important considerations include:

• Patient-Led Capabilities: Look for a platform that enables patients to manage their own check-in, registration, scheduling, and payments — drastically reducing staff involvement and manual errors.

• Real-Time Eligibility Verification: Ensures patients are verified in advance and accurate co-pays are presented at check-in, helping eliminate claim denials and rework.

• AI-Enhanced Workflow Logic: Supports provider-specific preferences for scheduling, registration and communications, ensuring the right patients see the right providers, with fewer bottlenecks during key actions like appointment booking or check-in.

• Strong PMS/EHR Integrations: Your patient engagement technology should seamlessly push and pull data between systems, minimizing duplicate entry and maximizing workflow efficiency for staff. After all, what you implement to automate tasks should not be creating additional work for staff due to poor integrations.

• Proven Results: Evaluate vendors that have demonstrated success in lowering no-show rates, boosting revenue and saving staff time. Clearwave customers have saved over 4,500 staff hours annually and generated $398K more revenue per provider.

• Responsive, Knowledgeable Support: When technology issues arrise or you need to update your workflows due to practice changes, you need fast resolution from your vendor. For this reason, customer success often makes or breaks a technology partner. Choose a vendor that offers fast, local support and a dedicated customer success team to ensure long-term success. 

• Ongoing Innovation & Success Planning: Healthcare isn’t static, and your engagement partner shouldn’t be either, thats why at Clearwave we believe that we're stronger when we support eachother. Ensure your vendor continuously evolves with your practice and provides long-term strategic success to help your practice thrive.

Rising operating costs, credit card surcharging, changing governmental policies and declining Medicare reimbursements are putting immense financial pressure on specialty practices. Managing multiple disconnected technology vendors only makes things harder and more expensive. 

A recent Panda Health report on the tipping point of digital healthcare found that the top three digital healthcare technology priorities for practies and health systems were as follows: 

1. Improving workflow and operational productivity
2. Reducing overall costs
3. Improving patient outcomes

Each result above is mainly achieved by not only consolidating healthcare technology vendors but also ensuring the solutions that remain can provide the staff and patient impacts practices require. After all, in today’s healthcare environment, practices need more than just another digital tool—they need a solution that puts the patient in control. 

The solution you choose to consolidate to should help to:

• Reduce Staff Overload: Juggling multiple platforms often leads to fragmented workflows, longer training cycles and more manual work, which hurts efficiency. Finding one solution for patient scheduling, registration, communications, eligibility and payments reduces vendor bloat and speeds up staff productivity.

• Drop Costs: Every additional vendor adds to administrative costs, from subscription fees to backfill for overwhelmed staff. Migrating to one vendor, like Clearwave, can help you save $87k in labor costs while driving $398k in additional revenue per provider!

• Support Nightmares: When systems don’t work together, you go to support, but what happens when you find an issue in one tool that impacts the integration into another, or when multiple tools are down at the same time? Reducing vendors will reduce the amount of technical issues that arise and also enables you to work with one, knowledgeable support team, instead of multiple teams from different vendors.

• Fragmented Data: Multiple systems mean inconsistent patient records, lost insights, compliance struggles and an inability to automate essential workflows. One patient engagement platform with secure integrations with leading PMS/EHR solutions means you have your data where you need it most.

Clearwave’s Patient-Led Self-Service Platform does exactly that, allowing specialty practices to optimize staffing, accelerate revenue and deliver exceptional patient experiences. Rather than simply digitizing tasks while keeping staff heavily involved, Clearwave’s patient-led solutions are built to empower patients to take control of their healthcare experiences and reduce staff involvement in tedious scheduling and registration tasks.

Take Our Customers' Word for It!

“We wanted the scheduling solution to be easy to use for patients and staff but didn’t want to integrate yet another software. We looked at the partners our practice management system suggested, but ultimately, everybody here has a great relationship with Clearwave, so it made sense to move forward with them.” - Director of Operations, read the story.

“We started to think about what’s going to help us expedite the check-in process? What’s going to improve patient satisfaction? And what’s going to increase revenue? “We didn’t think we would be able to solve all those challenges with one solution, so we wanted to prioritize solving the full waiting room challenge first and get patients to their doctor faster. Fortunately, we found a patient self-registration solution that helped us achieve all of what we were looking for.” - Clinical Systems Manager, read the story.
