Provider data may sit behind the scenes, but when it is fragmented or outdated, it creates friction across the entire healthcare system.

In this episode, Sarah Ahmad, CEO of CAQH, shares how three decades of experience across payers, care delivery, data, and innovation prepared her to lead a critical healthcare data infrastructure organization. She explains how CAQH supports healthcare administration through provider and member data, enabling smoother care delivery and more accurate reimbursement. Sarah also discusses CAQH’s transition to a for-profit model owned by 12 health plans, highlighting how it strengthens the mission while enabling growth and innovation. She reflects on how career setbacks shaped her leadership and outlines a vision for giving providers greater control over their data.

Tune in to learn how better provider data management can reduce friction, improve efficiency, and help build a more connected healthcare ecosystem.
