March 5, 2024- Premier, Inc.’s PINC AI™ Applied Sciences (PAS) team is partnering with CommonSpirit Health in a research effort aimed at gathering clinical and operational insights for a variety of disease states – including cardiovascular, neurological and acute and chronic conditions – to address the social causes of poor health and advance medical care delivery across the system’s footprint.
With a shared emphasis on increasing health equity, the partnership combines PAS’ expertise in research development and CommonSpirit’s national footprint, talent and research infrastructure, to build healthier communities by addressing disparities in research – paving the way for rapid advancements in achieving more equitable health outcomes.
Neurologic and cardiovascular disorders disproportionately affect underserved groups, including racial and ethnic minorities, rural and socioeconomically disadvantaged populations. Key findings of one study conclude that more than 14 neurologic disease areas are affected by health disparities.
