Statement By Senior Vice President Of Public Affairs, Premier Healthcare Alliance, On Association, Labor Action Plan To Reduce Healthcare Costs

The Premier healthcare alliance applauds the healthcare stakeholders group for their commitment to achieve up to $2 trillion in savings over the next decade. The 2,100 non-profit hospitals in the Premier healthcare alliance are at the forefront of efforts to improve the quality, safety and affordability of healthcare. Through the Hospital Quality Incentive Demonstration (HQID), QUEST: High Performing Hospitals collaborative, Perinatal Safety Initiative and others, the Premier alliance has a long-standing track record of improving healthcare performance. Through these efforts, Premier hospitals have identified hundreds of billions of dollars in potential savings that can be shaved from the system without compromising patient care. We have also been leaders in sharing lessons learned from these collaborations to inform specific recommendations in the stakeholder savings plan, including those to improve perinatal care and reduce supply costs. As the largest national alliance of hospitals working on the front lines to achieve savings promised to the Administration, we will continue sharing information and ideas that can help us further reduce healthcare costs while simultaneously improving quality.
