Extend enterprise value into the non-acute space

As non-acute care drives up to 50% of system revenue, fragmentation creates risk. Vizient helps you unify sourcing, standardize spend and extend acute-level performance across every site of care.

Non-acute care isn’t a side strategy — it’s a margin engine

As non-acute care becomes the dominant revenue stream for health systems, fragmented supply chains and misaligned contracting strategies create a growing risk. Without enterprise-level alignment, organizations face inconsistent pricing, siloed vendors and missed savings across their fastest-growing care settings.

Vizient brings structure and strategy to this complexity. Our non-acute solutions help health systems extend their sourcing expertise beyond the hospital walls—enabling standardization, performance and compliance across ambulatory, post-acute, pharmacy and specialty care.

That’s where our non-acute team comes in—working with health systems to align enterprise goals with supply chain execution. We help reduce variation, improve pricing accuracy and support smarter procurement decisions across every site of care.

Innovation occurs at the intersection of cost, quality and market performance. Using Vizient’s extensive data and analytics capabilities and our in-house expertise, we’ve initiated several collaborative endeavors with our members to help drive performance improvement.

From ambulatory surgery centers (ASC) to retail pharmacy and lab, the non-acute environment requires more than access to contracts. It demands a system-level strategy—one that brings visibility, consistency and control to every category and site of care. Vizient helps health systems apply the same operational discipline in non-acute that’s already driving results in acute.

Standardization across every site of care

From ambulatory surgery centers to home health and pharmacy, non-acute environments demand tailored strategies. Vizient helps align these care sites under a single framework—combining contract strength, procurement support and actionable analytics.
