The health system focused on enhancing sourcing, logistics and value analysis to streamline operations and address ongoing challenges, including product shortages and labor constraints, according to a Jan. 24 news release from Premier. 

By using data-driven tools from Premier, Saint Francis was able to optimize its supply chain, reduce inefficiencies and make better decisions about purchasing and inventory management. 

The health system also worked to improve maternal and neonatal care through participation in Premier’s “Perinatal Improvement Collaborative,” which helped enhance outcomes and foster collaborations with other hospitals. 

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
