AdventHealth & Vizient Deepen Pact for AI-Powered Patient Care

IRVING, TX – January 13, 2026 – In a significant move underscoring the healthcare industry's digital transformation, AdventHealth, one of the largest non-profit health systems in the United States, has renewed and expanded its decades-long agreement with Vizient®, the nation’s leading provider-driven healthcare performance improvement company. The enhanced collaboration will substantially increase AdventHealth’s access to Vizient's advanced data and digital services, signaling a deeper commitment to leveraging artificial intelligence and sophisticated analytics to elevate patient care, improve clinical outcomes, and enhance operational efficiency across its extensive network.

This expanded partnership is more than a simple contract renewal; it represents a strategic investment in the future of healthcare delivery. At its core, the agreement aims to translate vast streams of complex clinical data into actionable insights, empowering care teams to make more informed decisions at the point of care. The move reflects a broader industry trend where major health systems are turning to powerful data platforms to navigate the complexities of modern medicine and the transition toward value-based care models.

A Deeper Dive into the Digital Toolkit

The cornerstone of the expanded agreement is AdventHealth's enhanced access to two of Vizient's flagship platforms across more than 50 of its facilities. The first, the Vizient Clinical Data Base (CDB), is a powerhouse of healthcare analytics trusted by over 1,300 hospitals, including 97% of the nation's academic medical centers. The CDB provides a robust framework for comparative benchmarking, allowing hospitals to measure their performance against peers on critical metrics such as patient safety, mortality rates, length of stay, and readmissions.

Its sophisticated reporting tools and dashboards enable organizations to identify and reduce variations in care, optimize the use of resources, and improve clinical documentation. A key feature is the platform's ability to drill down to the physician and patient level, offering a granular view of performance that is crucial for quality improvement initiatives and professional practice evaluations. By expanding its use of the CDB, AdventHealth aims to standardize excellence and implement data-informed strategies that directly impact patient outcomes.

Secondly, the agreement introduces the AAMC-Vizient Clinical Practice Solutions Center® (CPSC) to the health system. This platform provides specialized, physician-level analytics designed to support excellence in both academic and community practice settings. The inclusion of CPSC signifies a dedicated focus on empowering individual clinicians with personalized data, helping them refine their practices and contribute more effectively to the system's overall quality and value-based care goals.

From Data Points to Whole-Person Care

For AdventHealth, this technological expansion is fundamentally linked to its mission of delivering “whole-person care”—an approach that extends beyond physical ailments to encompass mental, social, and spiritual well-being. The health system's leadership views data not as an end in itself, but as a tool to foster a more connected and personalized patient experience.

“This expanded collaboration underscores AdventHealth's approach to using data and digital innovation to deliver more connected, personal and effective whole-person care,” said Dr. Michael Cacciatore, chief clinical officer for AdventHealth, in the original announcement. “By harnessing Vizient’s advanced analytics, we can translate complex data into meaningful insights that help our teams deliver the safest, highest-quality care and help people feel whole.”

This philosophy manifests in using AI and analytics to augment, not replace, the human element of medicine. By automating administrative tasks like transcribing patient-physician conversations or streamlining clinical documentation, these technologies free up clinicians to focus on what matters most: direct patient interaction and compassionate care. Furthermore, by integrating data from disparate sources, analytics can help create a more complete and holistic view of a patient's health journey, enabling providers to address the multifaceted needs central to the whole-person care model.

A Blueprint for Quality in a Value-Based World

The partnership also serves as a strategic blueprint for thriving in an industry increasingly defined by value-based care, where payment is tied to patient outcomes rather than the volume of services provided. In this environment, the ability to meticulously track, analyze, and improve quality and efficiency is paramount.

The long-standing collaboration has already yielded demonstrable results. In 2024, Vizient recognized five AdventHealth hospitals with a Bernard A. Birnbaum, MD, Quality Leadership Award. This prestigious award is based on a composite score that factors in measures from the Vizient Clinical Data Base, HCAHPS patient satisfaction surveys, and the CDC’s National Healthcare Safety Network. It recognizes top performers in safety, mortality, effectiveness, efficiency, and patient-centeredness—all key pillars of high-value care.

By deepening its investment in Vizient's analytics, AdventHealth is better equipped to manage population health, reduce costs by eliminating inefficiencies, and consistently deliver the high-quality outcomes that are rewarded under value-based contracts. “We are honored to expand our collaboration with AdventHealth, a system known for its forward-thinking approach to clinical innovation,” noted Arun Ramasubramanian, president of Data and Digital at Vizient. “Our Data and Digital solutions will continue to empower AdventHealth in their mission to deliver high-quality, efficient and personalized care.”

Navigating the Future of Healthcare with AI

This agreement is emblematic of the powerful trends shaping the future of medicine. The healthcare analytics market is projected to grow exponentially, reaching an estimated value of over $145 billion by 2032 as organizations race to adopt AI, machine learning, and predictive analytics. These technologies are becoming essential for everything from early disease detection and treatment optimization to streamlining hospital operations.

However, this rapid integration is not without challenges. Issues of data quality, patient privacy, and algorithmic bias are significant hurdles that must be carefully managed. By partnering with an established leader like Vizient, which provides a curated, high-quality data environment, health systems like AdventHealth can more confidently navigate these complexities.

The expanded alliance between Vizient and AdventHealth is far more than a corporate transaction; it is a clear indicator of the path forward for modern healthcare. It demonstrates a commitment to building a data-driven infrastructure that supports clinical excellence, operational sustainability, and a deeper, more holistic connection with the patients at the heart of the system.
