Unlock growth with actionable intelligence
Your challenges demand more than data alone. They demand a strategic partner with the unique healthcare expertise to turn complexity into decisive action.
Your strategic advantage
When the decision is high-stakes and the path is unclear, you need more than a vendor. You need a trusted strategic partner. Vizient Life Sciences Solutions translates differentiated health-system intelligence into the strategies that accelerate your growth, sharpen your market position, and demonstrate measurable value to providers. We meet you where your challenges are and move with you toward action.
Multi-perspective market navigation
You face a market where provider systems grow more complex every quarter. Consolidation accelerates, buying committees evolve, and the bar for clinical and economic evidence rises. A data set alone does not solve that. You need a partner who understands both sides of the table: the provider perspective from inside the health system, and the commercial imperative driving your growth. Our consultants translate proprietary health-system intelligence into segmentation strategies, go-to-market plans, and real-world evidence that give you a defensible competitive position. Not a generic playbook, but a strategy built for your specific market reality.
Plan with precision
Entering a new market or expanding within existing accounts demands more than surface-level segmentation. Your planning needs to reflect the true architecture of how health systems buy: the archetypes, the buying committees, the readiness-to-maturity signals that separate a receptive prospect from a stalled one. We build segmentation frameworks grounded in proprietary provider data, including market-level intelligence, organization archetypes, persona mapping, and maturity modeling that identify exactly where your highest-value opportunities exist. The result is a targeting strategy and vision that deploys your resources where they generate the fastest, most efficient growth.
Activate your go-to-market
A strategy only creates value when your field teams can execute it. Activation bridges the gap between strategic insight and commercial performance by equipping your sales organization with the training, messaging, and tools to engage providers with confidence. We develop commercialization strategies, sales enablement programs, and messaging frameworks tested against the audiences that matter to your growth. Every activation deliverable is informed by real health-system purchasing behavior and clinical priorities, so your teams show up with the credibility providers expect.
Prove value with evidence
Provider decision-makers demand proof. They need clinical and economic evidence that demonstrates your product’s real-world impact before they commit. Generic claims no longer clear the bar. We build the evidence that earns provider confidence: real-world evidence studies, health economic calculators, total-value-of-ownership analyses, case studies, white papers, and publications in peer-reviewed journals. Every deliverable draws on clinical and operational data from the largest provider network in the country, giving your evidence a credibility advantage your competitors cannot replicate.
Your intelligence advantage
Proprietary data assets that no competitor can replicate.
The Vizient Clinical Data Base (CDB) gives you access to clinical utilization, demographic, and cost data from 1,300+ hospitals, including 98% of all academic medical centers, 50+ health systems, and 750+ community hospitals. That translates to 13 million inpatient and 200 million outpatient encounters annually. For your commercial strategy, this means the ability to benchmark hospital performance, build real-world evidence with unmatched statistical power, and identify variation in product utilization that reveals exactly where your solutions create measurable impact.
Procedural Analytics provides case-level SKU data across 3,119 unique supply categories, 887 procedure groups, and 10 procedural settings. This intelligence reveals how product choice varies across providers and correlates with clinical outcomes, giving you the evidence to demonstrate that your product reduces cost per case, improves quality, or both. When paired with CDB outcomes data, it becomes the industry’s most powerful value-analysis tool.
MarketPulse captures transaction-level purchasing data from over 12,000 U.S. healthcare facilities, covering 50% of hospitals, 35% of ASCs, and 25% of physician offices. With more than 2 billion annual transactions from 13,000+ manufacturers and distributors, you gain visibility into competitor product mix, share trends, pricing dynamics, new-product adoption patterns, and geographic segmentation. This is the most transparent and geographically detailed purchased data set available for sales operations, marketing, and strategy teams to allocate resources for faster growth at lower cost.
Vizient’s Impact of Change® Forecast delivers a 10-year national demand forecast across inpatient and outpatient care settings, built on 20 years of forecasting expertise. Hyperlocalized market projections, customizable geographies, and all-sites-of-care visibility enable you to quantify opportunity, identify growth corridors, and plan with the confidence that comes from the industry’s most accurate forecasting methodology. You move from reactive to proactive strategy deployment.
The patent-pending Vizient Vulnerability Index quantifies community-level social determinants of health across nine domains linked to population life expectancy. Paired with CDB and CPSC data by patient zip code, it enables you to evaluate the relationship between clinical outcomes and neighborhood-level vulnerabilities, then identify targeted interventions. For life sciences leaders, this intelligence supports health equity strategies, population health positioning, and market access narratives grounded in real community-level data.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about our consulting approach.
Most life sciences consultancies operate from the outside looking in at provider systems. Our consultants work from a position embedded within the largest health-system network in the country, with direct access to proprietary clinical, operational, and purchasing data that no competitor can replicate. That means your strategies are built on provider-side intelligence, not third-party estimates. The result is sharper segmentation, more credible evidence, and faster commercial traction.
We partner with pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device, and health industry companies across the commercialization lifecycle, from pre-launch market assessment through post-launch evidence generation and sales optimization. Our clients range from emerging companies preparing their first launch to top-20 global enterprises refining their portfolio strategy.
Our proprietary data ecosystem includes clinical benchmarking from 1,300+ hospitals, purchasing intelligence from 12,000+ facilities, longitudinal claims data covering 215M+ patients, 10-year demand forecasts, and community-level social determinants data. These assets fuel every consulting engagement, from market segmentation and targeting to real-world evidence development and competitive intelligence. Your strategy is never built on generic industry data.
Engagements are tailored to your strategic priorities. A typical engagement may begin with market landscape assessment and segmentation, move into go-to-market strategy development and sales enablement, and culminate in evidence generation and value demonstration. Some clients engage us for a single focused project; others build an ongoing advisory relationship across multiple product lines and therapeutic areas. We scope to your needs, not to a standard template.
