Smarter Purchasing Solutions for Every Stage of Healthcare Delivery
Healthcare doesn’t happen in just one place — and it doesn’t happen all at once. From routine checkups to specialized treatment, rehabilitation, and long-term support, patients move through a wide range of care settings over time.
This journey is known as the Continuum of Care — and it’s where Buygility delivers powerful value.
Through our partnership with Premier, Buygility helps healthcare providers across the continuum access cost-saving contracts, operational tools, and strategic support designed to improve both financial performance and patient outcomes.
What Is the Continuum of Care?
The Continuum of Care represents the full spectrum of healthcare services a patient may experience — from preventive care to acute treatment and long-term management.
Importantly, more than 90% of healthcare services occur outside of hospitals, across settings like physician offices, surgery centers, long-term care facilities, and home health agencies.
These non-acute environments are where the majority of patient interactions happen — and where cost control, efficiency, and supply chain reliability are especially critical.
Why the Continuum of Care Matters More Than Ever
Healthcare providers today face growing pressure to:
- Reduce costs while maintaining quality
- Improve patient outcomes across multiple care settings
- Navigate staffing shortages and operational complexity
- Manage fragmented supply chains
- Deliver consistent care across locations
Success in today’s environment requires coordination across the entire continuum, not just within individual facilities.
That’s where a strategic purchasing partner like Buygility makes a difference.
How Buygility Supports the Continuum of Care
As a Channel Partner of Premier, Buygility connects providers to one of the most comprehensive purchasing and support ecosystems in healthcare.
Premier’s Continuum of Care program is designed to help organizations achieve clinical, financial, and operational excellence through a combination of purchasing power, technology, and expertise.
Here’s how Buygility brings those benefits directly to your organization:
Access to a Comprehensive Purchasing Portfolio
Buygility members gain access to thousands of pre-negotiated supplier contracts covering both clinical and non-clinical categories.
These contracts support providers across the continuum, including:
- Physician practices and medical offices
- Ambulatory surgery centers
- Long-term care and senior living facilities
- Home health and infusion providers
- Pharmacies and laboratories
- Imaging centers and rehabilitation providers
This broad contract portfolio allows organizations to reduce costs across every stage of care — without the burden of negotiating pricing on their own.
Technology That Simplifies Procurement
Premier’s Continuum of Care solutions include advanced, technology-enabled tools designed to streamline purchasing and improve visibility.
For example:
- SmartPO® helps organizations manage procurement, inventory, and supplier relationships in one centralized system
- Digital platforms improve pricing accuracy, order management, and operational efficiency
- Analytics tools provide insight into spending patterns and opportunities for savings
These solutions help transform procurement from a manual process into a data-driven strategy.
Strategic Support Beyond Contracts
Buygility goes beyond contract access by providing hands-on support that helps organizations get the most value from their purchasing program.
Through our partnership with Premier, members benefit from:
- Supplier relationship support and contract optimization
- Field support and onboarding assistance
- Marketing resources and operational guidance
- Access to clinical programs and continuing education
This level of support ensures that your organization doesn’t just access savings — you fully realize them.
Improving Outcomes Across the Entire Care Journey
The true value of the Continuum of Care isn’t just operational — it’s clinical.
By aligning purchasing decisions, supply chain strategy, and care delivery across settings, healthcare organizations can:
- Improve patient outcomes
- Reduce delays and inefficiencies
- Ensure continuity between care environments
- Strengthen financial sustainability
Premier’s data-driven approach and national scale help providers deliver better, smarter, and faster healthcare across the entire continuum.
