Collective buying power is the premise behind Premier. The group purchasing organization (GPO) is owned by nearly 200 not-for-profit hospitals and health systems. Premier works to strike the best deal possible for necessary medical supplies by contracting with hundreds of suppliers nationally for everything from pacemakers and catheters to furniture and food service equipment. Premier serves thousands of hospitals and health care sites in the US (from the smallest rural hospital to huge academic medical centers) and its group purchasing power represents billion of dollars each year. The company also offers insurance and risk management services and programs to help hospitals improve quality of care.
