At the 2026 Breakthroughs Conference, Premier’s President and CEO, Dr. Emad Rizk, unveiled live, in-workflow demonstrations of the company’s AI-enabled technologies. The technologies, co-developed directly with health systems, are moving into real-world use ahead of planned 2027 availability. The demonstrations showcased: • Supply Chain Intelligence to identify and prioritize savings opportunities, surface the drivers behind purchasing performance and help teams take action. • Quality and Performance, which combines numerous point solutions for a singular view into quality measures, benchmarks, performance insights and improvement workflows. “Our ambition is clear: help healthcare organizations take 2–5 percent of operating cost out, give leaders quality intelligence to make better decisions across the continuum of care, and prepare for a future defined by greater risk and changing reimbursement” - Dr. Rizk Read the full announcement: premierinc.com/newsroom/even…

Real-world data (RWD) helps convert observations from routine clinical care into real-world evidence (RWE) that can inform decisions across the product lifecycle. Premier Applied Sciences works with life sciences organizations to transform raw information into evidence that addresses specific clinical, economic, business and regulatory questions. A recent analysis of catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation demonstrates the power of insights to inform research priorities, evidence-generation strategies, product development, market segmentation, regulatory approach, targeted marketing strategies and more.
