Aqurio Launches No-Cost SmartAnalytics Trial to Help Healthcare Organizations Improve Patient Access and Recover Lost Revenue

Published

on

Analyzes 100% of patient interactions to remove barriers to patient access, reduce cost, capture revenue growth, improve the patient experience, and drive measurable EBITDA gains

DANIA BEACH, Fla., Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Aqurio, an Agentic AI company for healthcare and other high-stakes industries, today announced a no-cost SmartAnalytics™ trial program designed to help healthcare organizations identify and address the root causes of patient access challenges and their impact on operational and financial performance. The trial analyzes 100% of patient interactions across IVR systems, conversational AI platforms, and human staff, benchmarking performance against industry standards and uncovering barriers to care, appointment conversion gaps, abandoned calls, repeat callbacks, and other workflow breakdowns that impact patient experience and business outcomes.

Across the healthcare industry, labor shortages, rising call volumes, and fragmented communication systems are making it increasingly difficult for patients to get the care they need. At the same time, most healthcare organizations have little visibility into why. Many organizations make decisions based on just 3% of their patient interaction data. The remaining 97%, including unmonitored calls, untracked AI handoffs, and agent conversations that never get reviewed, remains unseen, leaving organizations without the visibility to address operational inefficiencies, patient attrition, and uncaptured revenue before they affect financial performance.

Aqurio’s no-cost trial delivers answers in weeks, not quarters. Participating organizations receive an executive-level readout detailing where revenue is at risk, where operational costs are accumulating, and where the patient experience is breaking down. The assessment quantifies business impact across all three dimensions and delivers a prioritized roadmap for corrective action. For healthcare leaders, that means a clear path to improving EBITDA through recovered revenue, new revenue growth, reduced inefficiencies, removed barriers to patient access, and stronger patient retention.

“When patients can’t reach the care they need, everyone loses,” said Frank Fawzi, CEO of Aqurio. “In some of the healthcare organizations we’ve analyzed, fewer than half of inbound patient calls reach a live person. The rest end up in voicemail, are abandoned, or leave patients frustrated. Every failed connection creates friction for patients and limits an organization’s ability to grow. Most healthcare leaders know it’s happening. Very few can tell you what it costs them. This trial shows them exactly where, what it’s worth, and how to fix it.”

Getting started takes days, not months: the trial connects to existing systems in days with no data migration, no dedicated staff time, and no cost or obligation, surfacing where the opportunities are and providing the clarity to act on them. For organizations that have put those insights to work, the results are measurable:

A 100-location dental service organization recovered more than $19 million in revenue after using SmartAnalytics to analyze every patient interaction and uncover process gaps, communication breakdowns, and workflow inefficiencies affecting revenue recovery. The insights identified high-impact automation opportunities, enabling the deployment of Aqurio AI agents to improve patient engagement and streamline revenue recovery processes.By surfacing the churn signals that incumbent AI solutions miss, SmartAnalytics helps organizations avoid the roughly $1.2 million in annual losses those blind spots create, and act on patient complaints while they can still be fixed: 43% otherwise pass the point where intervention works.

Gain a clear view into the patient journey and uncover the factors affecting appointment conversion, patient retention, and operational performance, with a board-ready readout delivered in weeks, at no cost. Trial capacity is limited and assessments are scheduled on a first-come basis. Learn more and claim your no-cost assessment here. To see how SmartAnalytics works, go here.

By

Dr. Meyer brings more than thirty years of experience in value-based care, hospital operations, vertical integration, and healthcare quality measurement.

BOSTON, Aug. 5, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cornerstone Research announced today that Gregg S. Meyer, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and physician at Massachusetts General Hospital, has affiliated with the firm.

An expert in healthcare delivery systems, value-based care, and population health management, Dr. Meyer has extensive experience as a health system executive, practicing physician, and healthcare researcher. He has also served as medical director of the Massachusetts General Physicians Organization (MGPO), one of the largest multispecialty medical groups in the United States.

Healthcare antitrust, merger, and vertical integration expertise

Dr. Meyer’s combination of executive leadership, clinical practice, and health policy research positions him to analyze matters involving hospital and physician-group operations, vertical integration, healthcare mergers, physician incentives, quality measurement, and provider contract negotiations, among others.

Dr. Meyer has held concurrent senior leadership roles at the Boston-based Mass General Brigham health system. As president of the Community Division, he oversaw strategy and operations across multiple hospitals, home care services, and physician groups. His work as executive vice president of value-based care integrated the system’s health insurance organization and population health management programs across hospitals, primary care, and ambulatory and urgent care sites.

“Gregg brings a rare breadth of health system leadership: he has run hospital operations, has managed physician groups, and has worked with provider-sponsored health insurance to build a top-tier value-based care program,” said Dina Older Aguilar, senior vice president and cohead of Cornerstone’s healthcare practice. “He knows firsthand how hospitals, insurers, and physician groups actually work together, and that perspective offers clients real insight into healthcare antitrust and merger disputes.”

Healthcare quality leadership and research

Dr. Meyer’s experience also includes work in the federal government. He directed the Center for Quality Improvement and Patient Safety at the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). In that capacity, he shaped federal quality agendas and coordinated patient-safety research across government agencies.

A widely published researcher, Dr. Meyer has authored or coauthored more than 100 articles, editorials, chapters, and monographs on topics including healthcare quality measurement, pay-for-performance payment models, medical workforce modeling, and the outcomes of medical procedures.

He has served on national and international committees focused on healthcare quality and safety, among them the World Health Organization’s Scientific Peer Review Group on Health Systems Performance Assessment, the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare, and NASA’s Medical Policy Board.

Dr. Meyer holds an M.D., earned magna cum laude, from Albany Medical College and an S.M. from the Harvard School of Public Health. A Rhodes Scholar, he earned an M.Sc. from the University of Oxford and a B.S., summa cum laude, from Union College.
