Advocacy
Based in Washington, D.C., Premier’s Government Affairs office acts as an advocate for members of the Premier alliance and the communities they serve. Every day, we’re working to shape federal laws and regulations so they align with our members’ efforts to drive innovation and lead the transformation to high-quality, cost-effective healthcare.
The Premier Difference
Optimizing the Value of Healthcare: Advancing reforms that strengthen and accelerate the ongoing transformation of healthcare to improve quality outcomes while safely reducing costs for patients. This includes ensuring that providers have the resources they need to support effective and efficient patient care.
Building Resilient Healthcare Supply Chains: Supporting policies that create visibility and transparency into the healthcare supply chain to ensure that every provider in the country has access to the right product, at the right time, at the right quality and at the right price for patient care.
Tech-Enabling Healthcare: Advocating for policies to advance technology that enhances patient safety and quality improvement, facilitates secure and timely communication and data exchange among healthcare stakeholders, and produces actionable and reportable data.
Eliminating Gaps In Healthcare: Pressing for federal action to address disparities in access to and quality of healthcare experienced by vulnerable communities and populations.
