Clearwave Appoints Cory Kirspel as Chief Technology Officer

30-Year IT Industry Veteran Leads the Charge for Innovation at Clearwave, Evolving the Patient Revenue Platform™ to Continue to Meet Specialty Healthcare Demands 

ATLANTA – May 28, 2024 – Clearwave today announced the appointment of Cory Kirspel as the company’s new Chief Technology Officer (CTO). In this role, Kirspel will lead the technology strategy for Clearwave’s award-winning Patient Revenue Platform™ and advance its information technology operations. Key to Kirspel’s role will be fostering innovation to ensure Clearwave’s Patient Revenue Platform continues to evolve alongside the changing needs of specialty practices and their patients. 

“Today, patient access, empowerment and convenience are at the forefront of the healthcare industry, and for practices that want to stay ahead of the competition or remain independently operated, offering a digital front door is key. It’s been long-proven that digital front door solutions help practices increase patient acquisition and retention while boosting profitability,” said Clearwave CEO Mike Lamb. “We’ve transformed our Patient Revenue Platform to enable practices to do just this by digitizing the entirety of the patient journey, from scheduling, registration and check-in, to communications, multi-factor eligibility™ verification and payment. Innovation is a continual commitment, and we’re confident that Cory is the right person to drive significant advancements in our healthcare technology to ensure Clearwave continues to meet the needs of practices and their patients while remaining at the forefront of the industry.” 

Kirspel brings more than 30 years of IT experience to Clearwave. Prior to joining the company, he served as the CTO of Vatica Health, where he was responsible for driving product management, software engineering, IT, security and corporate systems while also managing a substantial annual budget and a diverse, international team. His strategic vision led to notable achievements, such as the Vatica product suite earning back-to-back (2023/2024) “Best in KLAS” distinctions in the Healthcare Risk Adjustment Software and Professional Services category and the company achieving HITRUST and SOC II Type 2 security certifications – both of which collectively enhanced Vatica’s market position and operational excellence. 

“Clearwave has played an instrumental role in digitizing the healthcare industry over the last few years, with an impressive depth of solutions and ambitious, client-driven product roadmap that ties back to what patients have been asking for from their specialty providers,” said Kirspel. “I look forward to joining their efforts and using my unique blend of technology and business skills to help the company continue to deliver healthcare technology that allows specialty practices to drive down operational costs, augment staffing challenges, capture revenue at every patient touchpoint and elevate their practice to the next level.”
