Vizient

Vizient is the nation's largest member-owned healthcare performance improvement company, working with healthcare organizations across the United States to improve cost, quality, and market performance. Its work rests on data: data analytics, healthcare performance analytics, and spend management data, applied to problems that are unusually large in scale. The organisation serves 97% of the nation's academic medical centers and more than 69% of the country's acute care hospitals, alongside over 35% of the ambulatory market, and has operated for more than 40 years.

Technical work at Vizient centres on data and digital solutions - analytics and digital tools that connect providers to analytics and advisory services - supported by spend management solutions that help organisations manage and reduce supply and operational spend. Consulting services and member networks extend that data into advice and collaboration among providers, spanning academic medical centers, acute care hospitals, ambulatory care, rural community hospitals, and research hospitals.

As a member-owned organisation, Vizient is oriented toward its provider members rather than outside investors, and its stated emphasis is on collaboration among providers and on delivering high-quality care. The combination of a broad national footprint, deep spend and performance datasets, and a purposeful and inclusive approach makes it a place where analytical work reaches a substantial share of American healthcare.
