From AI Investments to AI Results

Premier's AI Realization Practice helps health system leaders answer the question their boards are asking: which AI investments are producing measurable value, and which ones aren't. We bring independent data, governance infrastructure and 25 years of collaborative benchmarking to close that gap.

How We Help Health Systems

What Changes When the Portfolio Gets Governed

This is the difference an evidence-first approach makes — not a new process to adopt, but a different answer when leadership asks what AI is actually doing.

AI Tools
With a Governed Portfolio

Every AI tool mapped to an owner, a target outcome and a measurement methodology

Today

No one can say how many AI tools are running, what they cost or who owns them

Benchmarks
With a Governed Portfolio

A governance narrative benchmarked against peer organizations at similar scale and complexity

Today

The board asks what AI is producing and the answer depends on who you ask

Claims
With a Governed Portfolio

Independent performance data that replaces vendor claims with operational evidence

Today

Vendor performance claims are the only evidence available

Governance
With a Governed Portfolio

A governance function resourced to act on findings, not just receive reports

Today

A governance committee exists on an org chart that hasn't met since it was formed

86,000+

Providers benchmarked through Premier's physician practice benchmarking platform across 700+ operational and clinical KPIs that inform every governance assessment and portfolio analysis.

~1,300

Hospitals in Premier's quality benchmarking network, covering roughly 40% of U.S. inpatient discharges that support every clinical and quality comparison.

5:1–10:1

Documented ROI from Premier's clinical decision support deployments, providing measurable proof of clinical and financial impact.

25+ yrs

Find Out What Your AI Portfolio Is Really Producing.

Your organization already generates the data to answer that question.
What's missing is the governance framework to assemble it, the benchmarks to interpret it and the discipline to act on it.
That's what we build.
