Patient Engagement Best Practices for Large Healthcare Organizations & Hospitals
By Blakely Roth | October 23, 2025
As healthcare organizations scale, so do their operational and patient engagement challenges. Multi-location practices, hospital networks and health systems with 100+ providers or thousands of patients per month need more than a check-in tool—they need a proven partner that can support efficiency, revenue growth and patient satisfaction at scale.
Clearwave’s Patient-Led Self-Service Platform was designed to meet these needs and is trusted by 11K physicians and 170M+ patients nationwide. By extending beyond traditional patient engagement tools, Clearwave empowers patients to take charge of their healthcare journey—reducing staff strain, ensuring accurate eligibility and driving higher collections. Hospitals and enterprise-sized practices across the nation already rely on Clearwave to deliver seamless scheduling, registration, eligibility, payments and communication—all integrated into their existing workflows.
The proof? Let’s look at three large-scale healthcare organizations that are using Clearwave to transform patient engagement across thousands of patients each month.

Spire Members Improve Access & Drop Call Center Training Time by 86%
About: Spire Orthopedic Partners is a physician-owned, physician-led organization partnering with leading orthopedic practices across the Northeast, including Orthopaedic Associates of Manhasset (OAM). Spire is comprised of:
- Dozens of orthopedic providers and sub-specialties across multiple states
- Practices with high-volume call centers managing 25,000+ bookings per year
Andrew Vieira, Vice President of Clinical Applications at Spire, highlights the organization’s mission, “Orthopedics is a complex specialty with many nuances and sub-specialties within it. Each requires its own set of unique skills and the call center’s ability to match the appropriate specialist to the patient’s problem is a complex process.”
Clearwave Solutions Implemented:
- Scheduling
- Call Center
- Eligibility
- Registration
Organization-Wide Results:
- 86% Decrease in call center training time (from 21 days to just 3)

By implementing Clearwave, Spire practices, including OAM, not only streamlined call center operations but also improved accuracy in patient-provider matching—a common challenge associated with orthopedic scheduling. Physicians saw a sharp reduction in scheduling errors, while patients gained 24/7 online access to the right providers.
Vieira says, “Clearwave Call Center has helped us bridge this gap and provide the level of care we seek to achieve at Spire. Clearwave’s flexibility, customizations and understanding of our needs as an organization to provide such care has been essential to the success of our partnership with them.”
