Communities
An online community is a group of people that primarily interact through a technology mechanism such as a computer network rather than face to face. Oftentimes, participants interact through other media including newsletters, telephone, e-mail and instant messages.
Premier is full of communities. Like-minded individuals with similar roles and responsibilities come together to transfer knowledge on a regular basis in a virtual or face-to-face collaborative environment. A few alliance communities include:
- ASCEND (participating hospitals)
- Continuum of Care
- Construction and Renovation
- Facilities
- Foodservice
- Human Resources & Administrative Services
- IT
- Perinatal Safety Initiative (participating hospitals)
- Pharmacy
- QUEST
Social media
In an effort to find innovative ways to keep members and other healthcare professionals connected, Premier has developed several social media channels in addition to The Connector for increased engagement and interaction.
