HealthStream® is excited to announce a new partnership with Axuall that will provide clinicians and medical staff personnel with an integrated solution that makes the credentialing process more efficient and accurate.
Through this partnership, Axuall will now connect to HealthStream’s hStream ecosystem. Specifically, HealthStream’s CredentialStream customers will gain access to Axuall’s Clinician Wallet, a secure, vendor-agnostic platform where clinicians can store all their credentialing information in one centralized place. This digital wallet eliminates the hassle of managing multiple accounts and platforms, giving clinicians more time to focus on patient care.
In today's fast-paced healthcare landscape, maximizing provider efficiency is crucial—not only for patient care but also for organizational revenue. With each provider generating an average of $2.38 million in net revenue annually, or more than $6,000 daily, on behalf of their affiliated hospitals, streamlining patient appointments is more essential than ever. Traditional credentialing methods can be time-consuming, often taking clinicians weeks or months to complete. This presents a substantial opportunity for medical staff professionals to provide value by making this process more efficient.
Streamlined Experience for Medical Staff Professionals
Multiple customers are already experiencing the advantage of Axuall’s integration with CredentialStream®. Using this new accelerated option in clinician onboarding, CredentialStream® customers have reported up to a 70% reduction in the time it takes to process applications. This significant improvement is made possible by leveraging Axuall's Clinician Data Network through its digital wallet.
Axuall's Clinician Wallet pre-fills verified information, reducing clinicians' time to input and validate data. This process alleviates administrative burdens for healthcare professionals and allows organizations to quickly onboard new talent, enhancing operational efficiency and patient care delivery.
Furthermore, as the exchange between the medical staff office and clinicians is reduced, the time to verify credentials is also reduced. In contrast, the time it takes to get clinicians to committee approvals speeds up. All of these factors move clinicians into patient care settings faster.
"The hStream platform continues to grow, delivering even greater value for our customers. By connecting pre-validated information sources like Axuall’s Clinician Wallet to hStream, CredentialStream users now have more powerful options to streamline workflows. Our expanding ecosystem ensures clients benefit from seamless integrations and unparalleled efficiency," said Michael Sousa, President of HealthStream Credentialing.
Strengthening the Partnership Through Integration
HealthStream and Axuall are not just maintaining but continuing to invest in enhancing their collaborative efforts. This ongoing investment underscores a shared commitment to improve the credentialing landscape for all stakeholders.
“With healthcare organizations’ most important asset being their staff, it is critical that we make the credentialing process for clinicians and medical staff as frictionless as possible,” said Charlie Lougheed, CEO of Axuall. “We are always looking for ways to make it easier and faster by developing new features for CredentialStream customers.”
Integrating Axuall’s innovative technologies with the HealthStream platform and integrations marketplace marks a significant advancement in clinician credentialing. Together, they are setting new standards for efficiency, accuracy, and user experience in the healthcare industry.
