November 12, 2026- Premier, Inc. announced an expanded strategic relationship with HonorHealth, one of Arizona’s largest nonprofit healthcare systems. The relationship combines Premier’s group purchasing scale, performance improvement expertise and technology-enabled intelligence to help HonorHealth pursue new savings opportunities, strengthen financial performance and advance its care delivery strategy.
The expanded relationship will focus on three key areas:
- Clinical financial decision support and AI-enabled quality intelligence: HonorHealth will implement Premier’s Stanson Health Stewardship solution and a new Quality and Performance AI solution. Stewardship embeds real-time value analysis directly into provider workflows, while Quality and Performance brings quality measures, benchmarks, performance insights and AI-enabled recommendations into a more integrated quality and cost improvement workflow. Together, these technologies are designed to help teams identify opportunities, prioritize action and advance quality and performance goals.
- Pharmacy strategy and care delivery: Premier will advise HonorHealth on its pharmacy strategy for ambulatory care, infusion services and oncology. The collaboration will align pharmacy planning with evolving care delivery needs and organizational priorities.
- Enterprise financial performance improvement: A multi-year GPO expansion will ensure access to Premier’s purchasing program, while new supply chain consulting engagements will target $65 million in incremental savings opportunities. Additional cost management support will enhance revenue cycle performance and identify opportunities to strengthen HonorHealth’s financial operations.
