Uniting hospitals to improve healthcare quality
The Premier healthcare alliance unites community-based hospitals to improve the safety, quality and affordability of healthcare.
We do this by collecting, analyzing and sharing knowledge nationwide. Hospitals share their clinical data within the alliance so that they can measure performance, identify best practices, benchmark against the best and improve performance. By acting together, hospitals learn faster and can compare practices to achieve better outcomes and improve the health of communities.
