How Premier Helps Patients
Improving hospitals' ability to provide highest quality care at lower prices ultimately improves patient care and outcomes. We provide a number of unique resources specifically designed to improve patient care, through:
- Delivering new technology to patients faster
Clinicians from across the nation come together through Premier to carefully evaluate the quality and safety of thousands of medical products. This shared approach allows hospitals to identify, review and acquire the latest technology faster, expediting the delivery of valuable breakthrough innovations to patients.
- Helping improve patient safety
Premier's Safety Institute is a leading resource for hospitals, providing information such as care updates, clinician safety tips and environmental protection techniques. The Safety Institute offers the latest healthcare safety news and evidence-based interventions. Its newsletter has more than 40,000 subscribers.
- Generating savings – and funneling them back to patient care
Premier's cost-efficient supply chain programs allow hospitals to focus more of their scarce resources on keeping caregivers at the bedside and acquiring the latest lifesaving technology. Over the past several years, member hospitals have saved more than $2.5 billion and saved hundreds of staff hours by using our value-based contracting strategy.
