  1. All of Premier’s “partnerships” with large healthcare providers seem somewhat deceiving because these non-profit institution (clients) are many times direct investors / owners of Premier as a whole. These “strategic” partnerships are self serving, and little more than PR fodder. I’d love to see Premier publish the calculations at how they “saved” Mercy $117 million dollars.
