Adventist Health System, which has been a Premier partner for more than 20 years, already uses clinical, operational and supply chain analytics within the PremierConnect performance improvement platform. The health system will now integrate Premier’s pharmacy clinical surveillance and analytics with existing PremierConnect analytics.
PremierConnect’s pharmacy clinical surveillance and analytics help streamline pharmacy data so that providers can use the technology to identify cases of antibiotic overuse, reduce time-to-appropriate therapy and enhance treatments. The solution also helps providers adhere to the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network reporting requirements.
“Premier’s pharmacy clinical surveillance and analytics solution will help our pharmacists forecast and identify opportunity areas, prioritize next steps, document interventions and benchmark progress across the continuum,” said Loran D. Hauck, MD, chief clinical officer for Adventist Health System. “This is particularly important as we enhance our antimicrobial stewardship program with capabilities to quickly identify situations where antibiotics have no clinical benefit and reduce the emergence of antibiotic resistance.”
