WHY BREAKTHROUGHS?
Connecting the Dots Across Healthcare’s Broad Continuum
Secure your spot in the community that is collectively transforming patient care. From artificial intelligence to supply chain innovations and labor optimization, Breakthroughs 23 is at the intersection of technology, efficiency and, most importantly, patient care. Join us as we fuse these different elements into a cohesive alliance.
Several market dynamics are contributing to a restructuring of the current system of care –policy changes, innovations in virtual care and the imperative to control healthcare costs. We know care will continue to be delivered outside of the four walls of the hospital. For so long, Premier has bifurcated its Acute and Non-acute businesses, both providers and suppliers, to best serve their unique needs.
Speakers
Breakthroughs 23 features a lineup of renowned keynote speakers who will inspire and challenge us to build a better tomorrow. You’ll engage with voices from multiple fields and disciplines – each one adding value and excellence to our healthcare community.

Safety Measures
