Healthcare Provider Collaboratives
Connect with providers, suppliers and experts to tackle industry challenges, optimize operations, advance research and improve care.

Innovation by Way of Collaboration
Provider collaboratives are environments designed for healthcare organizations to tackle common challenges, share best practices and test innovative solutions. These initiatives are instrumental in driving advancements in clinical research, healthcare technology, operations and patient care models. The benefits of collaboratives are many:
Access to Resources and Expertise
Collaboratives create access to expert insights, cutting-edge research opportunities, new technologies and the latest evidence-based practices.
Data Sharing and Research Opportunities
Collaboratives open the door to cutting-edge research initiatives, clinical trials and data-driven strategies that contribute to better outcomes.
Improved Patient Care
Gaining new, evidence-based practices has many advantages, but enhanced patient care delivery is the most vital purpose of collaboratives.
Expanded Network
Healthcare collaboratives have a unique way of uniting organizations around shared objectives, such as improving access, reducing costs and fostering sustainability.
Premier’s Collaboratives

Engage beyond the one-to-many approach of existing collaborative participation and gain tailored solutions and recommendations. Work hand-in-hand with IDEAS team to receive innovative design, economic and analytic services to success on focused population health and value-based care initiatives.
Connect with national healthcare leaders to help medical practices thrive. Through data sharing, advocacy and collaboration, members drive innovation, provider resilience, and market strategy to create lasting change.
Supporting members in building sustainable population health strategies across payers, the Population Health Management Collaborative (PHMC) consistently outperforms national benchmarks in total cost of care models. Members in Medicare shared savings programs have achieved higher success rates than non-members.
Beyond Medicare, the Collaborative drives success in commercial, Medicare Advantage, and Medicaid models and leads employer-based care initiatives with nationwide impact.
Proven Results: If all Medicare ACOs matched the PHMC's 2021 performance, $1.9 billion could have been saved.
Premier's Innovation and Research Collaborative (PIRC) is a network of 20 research-ready health systems accelerating collaboration and innovation. PIRC leverages Premier’s Healthcare Database, containing 20+ years of cost, quality and operational data from 25% of U.S. hospital discharges, driving breakthroughs in clinical research and operational performance.
A multi-year national collaborative representing more than 500,000 births per year. The Premier Perinatal Improvement Collaborative leverages standardized data and performance improvement methodology to implement and analyze evidence-based interventions. Members drive clinical quality improvement and advance health equity across multiple workstreams, all designed to improve maternal and neonatal morbidity and mortality.
Through data, analytics, and shared learning about leading practices, the Workforce Innovation (WIN) Collaborative supports participating members in driving improvement in labor challenges and in developing a sustainable and effective workforce. Through increasing retention, optimizing talent acquisition, and building resilient teams, members can reduce turnover and overall labor costs.
"Collaborating with Premier’s Innovation and Research Collaborative has helped improve our approach to clinical research.
