Improve hospital operations with clearer priorities
Comprehensive data, expert guidance, and collaborative networks accelerate operational performance and deliver measurable cost reduction across workforce, supply, and care delivery.
Operations improvement has to move beyond isolated fixes
Hospital leaders face mounting pressure to reduce costs, optimize capacity, and improve throughput — while workforce shortages and supply volatility make every margin dollar matter.
Vizient transforms operational performance by connecting comprehensive benchmarking data, expert-guided improvement strategies, and collaborative peer networks. The result: measurable cost reduction across labor, supply, and care delivery that strengthens financial resilience without compromising quality.
In practice
What stronger hospital operations make possible
Quality multiplies financial performance
High clinical reliability delivers measurable margin impact—quality outcomes and financial resilience accelerate together through operational excellence.
Coordinate seamless senior care
Integrated care models reduce fragmentation, prevent unnecessary hospitalizations and improve outcomes for complex older adult populations.
Transform clinical spend performance
Case-level procedural intelligence eliminates unwarranted variation, aligns physicians around outcomes, and delivers defensible cost reduction.
Hospitals can’t afford to treat inpatient care as a loss center. Operations must be rebuilt for efficiency, specialization, and sustainability.
Operational pressure demands strategic response
Shifting patient demographics increase inpatient volume while readmissions rise, making operational excellence essential to sustain quality care and financial performance.
Inpatient discharges for 65+
Over the next 10 years, inpatient discharges of patients 65+ are expected to rise 20%
Readmission rates
Hospital readmission rates increased 13% for AMCs and 9.9% for community hospitals in 2025
PRODUCTS
Build operational excellence systematically
Operational Data Base
Turn operational complexity into performance clarity.
Vizient Networks
Combine intelligence, expert guidance, and peer collaboration to improve outcomes and accelerate progress. Vizient Networks helps leaders turn insight into sustained performance improvement.
Operations improvement advisory
Work with experts who help translate operational data into prioritized initiatives and practical implementation steps.
Performance Improvement Programs
Use shared evidence, peer learning, and proven frameworks to accelerate improvement across the organization.
Supply and spend optimization support

Actionable operational intelligence
Turn data into operational priorities leaders can act on
Benchmarking works when it does more than describe performance. Vizient helps leaders see where labor, supply, and throughput variation are highest so improvement efforts can focus on the areas with the greatest operational and financial impact.
Expert execution support
Connect expertise to real implementation
Improvement is stronger when operational guidance stays close to execution. Vizient helps organizations move from opportunity identification into implementation support and sustained performance change.
Collaborative performance networks
Use collaborative learning to move faster
Peer networks, shared evidence, and performance collaboratives help teams learn from proven approaches instead of solving recurring operational problems in isolation.
