💡 Did you know that Premier offers Academic Affinity Groups for Academic Hospitals and Healthcare Systems? The purpose of these groups is to evaluate and pursue strategic initiatives relevant to the unique challenges facing academic healthcare institutions. They also provide a platform for their members to share knowledge and communicate with peers via a secured members-only online application. Members of the Academic Affinity Groups have an opportunity to serve on smaller advisory boards that meet quarterly and serve as the primary review/advisory group for establishing priorities for Premier efforts to support Affinity Group goals. Through these groups, organizations are able to collaborate and share best practices in a meaningful way - learn more about how we're connecting health systems to share learnings for performance improvement: https://lnkd.in/e8M3JNs3
