In today’s market dynamics, health systems can no longer cut their way to financial success. Between rising labor costs, inflation, tariff pressures and nearly $800 billion in projected Medicare reductions, the margin equation has fundamentally changed. The traditional “cut and contain” playbook is no longer an effective margin improvement strategy.
A new guide from Premier illustrates four ways health system leaders can rethink an often-underestimated growth driver: supply chain.

The takeaway is clear: Optimizing supply chain is a new vehicle for future value creation.
