FRANKLIN, Tenn., March 5, 2020 /PRNewswire/ — AccuReg, a healthcare technology solutions company offering a full suite of front-end revenue cycle management solutions for hospitals, announces Blair Baker has joined the company as chief information officer and chief product officer.

In his dual role, Baker will lead strategic technological development for the company’s patient access SaaS solutions.

Baker has been a catalyst for product innovation and a driver of strategic expansion for industry-leading companies such as Omega Health Systems, CareMedic, HTP, Medhost, RelayHealth and Change Healthcare.

AccuReg, named to the Inc. 5000 List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies for the second time in 2019, is experiencing rapid growth as hospitals increasingly realize it is significantly more cost effective to make improvements in patient access versus later in the revenue cycle. Baker’s experience defining product direction and requirements, vision, engineering and delivery will help spearhead the rapid development of the company’s suite of products.
