ResMed has been awarded a three-year supplier group purchasing contract with Premier, a healthcare improvement company. Premier unites an alliance of approximately 3,600 US hospitals and 120,000 other providers to transform healthcare.

This new contract will enable Premier-member hospitals and providers to offer their patients the latest in non-invasive ventilation (NIV) technology. From patients with diagnosed sleep apnea to COPD patients requiring NIV during an acute exacerbation, ResMed’s NIV products will provide Premier hospitals with the innovative tools they need to be effective in their treatment.

“The chance to offer the life-changing benefits of NIV therapy to more patients is very exciting and we’re privileged to play a part in that,” says Jon Yerbury, vice president of marketing, ResMed Americas, in a release. “Partnering with Premier also expands our market and provides us with more feedback from patients and providers to help drive our next innovations and keep pushing the boundaries in the medical technology space.”
