Connecting suppliers with opportunities at IDN Summit! Our GPO Supplier Expo represented 11 service lines from the Premier team bringing suppliers together for meaningful conversations. We connected with both current contracted suppliers looking for continued support and suppliers interested in getting on contract with Premier. The expo creates an opportunity to ask questions, build relationships and better understand how to engage with our GPO and member network. Thank you to all the suppliers and Premier teams who joined us and made the expo a success. We’re excited to continue building partnerships that deliver value for our members and suppliers alike! #IDNSummit #GPO #Suppliers #HealthcareSupplyChain #Partnerships

Every denied claim comes at a cost—and not just in delayed payment. On average, health systems recover only 57 cents for every dollar initially denied, meaning nearly half of denied revenue may never be recovered, even after appeal. Leading organizations are shifting their focus upstream by strengthening payer strategy, improving contract language, benchmarking payer performance and identifying denial trends before they impact financial performance.

Hospitals are losing hundreds of billions of dollars a year to unnecessary care, and most of that waste is invisible until it's too late to stop it. That's the gap Premier's Stanson Health’s Stewardship solution closes. It puts real-time cost and quality data directly into a clinician's workflow, at the exact moment a decision is being made. One health system saw savings grow from $97 to $149 per admission after scaling adoption. Another hit $179 in savings per accepted recommendation. Curious how it works?

The biggest risk with CJR-X may not be the model itself. It may be waiting too long to understand what it means for your organization. As healthcare continues moving toward greater accountability for cost, quality and outcomes, joint replacement is just one piece of a much bigger shift. CJR-X offers a glimpse into what’s ahead: greater accountability across the patient journey, greater visibility into performance and greater pressure to turn insights into action. The organizations best positioned for that future won’t be the ones that react fastest. They’ll be the ones that understand their performance, identify opportunities and start building the capabilities to adapt now. Hear from Premier’s Kevin Trexler on what CJR-X could signal for the future of value-based care—and why preparation should start today. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/eNzw3Hzg

Premier is excited to announce an expanded strategic partnership with Hospital Sisters Health System (HSHS), a Catholic nonprofit healthcare system headquartered in Springfield, Illinois. This partnership supports the health system’s next phase of performance and transformation while reinforcing its commitment to sustainable, mission-driven care delivery. Healthcare organizations nationwide continue to face rising costs, workforce pressures and increasing complexity in care delivery. HSHS aims to address these challenges through the expanded partnership, which includes access to Premier’s group purchasing program as well as its integrated data and analytics, supply chain solutions, advisory services, collaboratives and other solutions to better align clinical, operational and financial priorities. “Health systems today need more than incremental improvements. They need a true partner that executes on aligned strategies connecting operations, finance and clinical performance." - Dr. Emad Rizk, Premier’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board Read more: https://lnkd.in/eAjaHfvK

The future of rural healthcare begins long before a patient arrives at the hospital. It begins in primary care. It begins in the home. It begins in the communities where people live and work every day. For rural communities facing provider shortages, transportation barriers and rising chronic disease burden, improving access requires more than adding technology — it requires connecting people to the right care at the right time. Premier helps organizations leverage AI, advanced analytics and digital health solutions to identify care needs earlier, strengthen primary care and connect patients with healthcare and community resources before conditions escalate. Because the future of rural healthcare isn't just more digital. It's more proactive, more connected and more accessible. Learn more: https://lnkd.in/e_NkMWHD Brett Francis, Dr. James "Jay" B.

Speed doesn't create impact. Volume doesn't create confidence. The teams pulling ahead right now are the ones building toward continuous evidence generation, not just running one more study. We unpacked what that shift actually requires: fragmentation, interoperability, data provenance and the trust it takes for someone to act on your evidence.
