Hospital and health leaders are under pressure to grow market share but many may be using yesterday’s utilization data to inform tomorrow's growth plans.

Healthcare demand is forming in your market.

💡The question: can you see it?

If your growth plans are built on utilization data only, you may be missing:
• Individuals who researched care.
• Households that have never engaged with your hospital or system.
• Demand forming outside referral and primary care pathways.

Today, Premier Inc. announced the appointment of Emad Rizk, M.D., as Chief Executive Officer, President and Chairman of the Board.

Dr. Rizk brings more than three decades of experience in leadership and transformation across the healthcare ecosystem. As a physician and operator, he has built and scaled organizations that translate actionable data into better decisions and stronger outcomes.

“I’ve seen healthcare from every angle, and I know what is at stake for Premier’s members. Providers are being asked to do more with less in an environment that is only getting more complex. Premier has the scale, the data and the relationships to help providers make better decisions and deliver better outcomes. This is where we can make the greatest impact.” – Dr. Rizk

We are thrilled to welcome Dr. Rizk to Premier to steer our next phase of innovation and execution. Read the full announcement: https://t.co/9IunVFlHB6

Denials, wasted workforce hours and redundant care have one thing in common: They all magnify the cost of clinical documentation errors.

That’s why more CFOs are backing enterprise-wide clinical documentation improvement (CDI) programs as a margin protection strategy, not just a clinical or compliance initiative.

In a new article, we break down:
• The downstream impact of documentation gaps
• Tips to operationalize a CDI program
• How to quantify the impact of CDI to finance leadership

Randomized controlled trials remain the gold standard. But on their own, they do not capture the full picture. Real-world evidence (RWE) adds critical context, helping organizations accelerate decisions, strengthen submissions and better reflect how products perform in practice.

For years, hospitals and health systems have equated growth with breadth. The prevailing logic was simple: Offer more services, meet more needs and capture more market share.

💡 The next era of competition will not be won by health systems that do the most. It will be won by those that do the right things exceptionally well.

Our latest blog explores why concentrating on high-value service lines — rather than spreading resources too thin — is key to improving outcomes, strengthening financial performance and building a sustainable competitive advantage.

@CHRISTUSHealth wanted to break free from labor-heavy Hierarchical Condition Category (HCC) workflows that slowed teams and couldn’t scale to meet the organization’s accuracy, compliance and value-based care (VBC) needs.

Partnering with Premier’s Stanson Health, the organization embedded CodingCare, a tech-enabled solution providing real-time, artificial intelligence (AI)-driven insights to help ensure accurate HCC coding before and after patient encounters.

The result? CHRISTUS Health eliminated thousands of unnecessary reviews, strengthened compliance and transformed HCC coding into a clear, controlled and confident process.

How do you curb low-value care while supporting clinicians and improving outcomes? @ArdentHealth found the answer.

With Premier’s Stanson Health Stewardship solution, the health system boosted ROI within 90 days and turned an early pilot into a systemwide initiative that tripled its initial financial success metric.

Premier is heading to the @NAACOSnews Spring Conference, and we’d love to connect.

Join us for our breakfast session, “Scaling Value-Based Care with Technology and Collaboration,” to hear how organizations are pairing data-driven technology with true collaboration to drive measurable value-based care outcomes — from smarter HCC support at the point of care to strategies that improve RAF performance and engage both primary care and specialist clinicians in population health initiatives.

🗓️ Thursday, April 23 | 7:30 – 8:15 a.m. ET
🎤 Raymond Metzger, MD (@TriHealth) + Seth Edwards (Premier)
Hope to see you there!

Healthcare organizations can’t afford to view the physician enterprise as a margin drag anymore — it’s a strategic engine for growth.

New data shows that rising costs and access challenges are putting pressure on performance, even as patient demand continues to grow. Leading health systems are rethinking their approach, using smarter, data-informed strategies to expand access, strengthen margins and support long-term growth.

Drug shortages are no longer episodic challenges — they’re a defining issue for healthcare leadership.

In 2026, persistent shortages continue to threaten patient safety, strain clinical decision making and expose vulnerabilities across the pharmaceutical supply chain. Reaction alone isn’t enough.

The health systems best positioned for the future are shifting from reactive management to strategic resilience — using predictive intelligence, commitment based purchasing and proactive continuity planning to anticipate disruption before it reaches the bedside.
