Premier invites you to join a distinguished faculty from Premier, IHI, CMS and Kettering Medical Center in a webcast to share additional results from Premier’s “Performance Pays” study that demonstrated that improved patient care reduces costs and saves lives. Data indicate that improving patient care in clinical areas of pneumonia, heart bypass surgery, hip and knee surgery, and AMI results in:
- Lower mortality
- Fewer readmissions
- Fewer complications
- Shorter lengths of stay
