As part of the expanded partnership, the hospital will make use of Premier’s cloud-based data warehouse and business intelligence platform, ‘PremierConnect Enterprise’, for efficient processing of clinical, financial and operational data.

PremierConnect Enterprise includes advisory services and membership in the Data Alliance Collaborative, which now includes eight major US health systems.

University Hospitals Accountable Care Organisation president Eric Bieber said: "At the centre of our strategy to improve population health is turning raw data into actionable business intelligence.

"This overarching partnership allows for a clearer picture of potential opportunities with the flexibility to make the right connections, and quickly find and implement efficient solutions.
