Northern Arizona Healthcare Partners taps Premier for supply chain management

Flagstaff-based Northern Arizona Healthcare Partners and Charlotte, N.C.-based healthcare improvement company Premier are partnering to improve efficiency in NAHP's purchasing program.

Under the terms of the agreement, NAHP will leverage Premier's group purchasing organization to align and aggregate its purchasing practices. NAHP will also implement systemwide supply analytics using the cloud-based PreimereConnect platform. The two organizations will also work together to streamline operations and improve outcomes in care delivery practices at all of NAHP's hospitals and medical centers.

"NAHP is excited about partnering with an industry-leading organization like Premier," said Karan Sangha, system director of supply chain at NAHP. "Premier's scope, reach, technology and reputation were all key criteria in helping NAHP make this important decision. We look forward to a collaborative relationship that not only takes waste out of the healthcare system, but also continually improves quality in this rapidly changing healthcare environment."
