Insights through the Vizient—Phrase Health partnership – Part 1

Reducing variation in clinical practice is ongoing in health care, and Vizient members have used the Clinical Data Base (CDB) to focus on areas for improvement by identifying variation across the care continuum. However, the CDB does not provide detail on the source of variation. It does not provide attribution. The new partnership with Phrase Health will empower members to find that information. This episode begins a three-part series with the co-founders of Phrase Health, and they will go into detail on insights Phrase Health’s technology provides Vizient members.
