Vizient, Inc.

Vizient, Inc. is a healthcare performance improvement company that provides data-driven solutions, analytics, and advisory services to a large network of healthcare organizations in the United States. Their clients primarily consist of academic medical centers, pediatric facilities, community hospitals, and non-acute care providers. Vizient leverages extensive healthcare datasets to help these organizations improve clinical, financial, and operational performance by identifying cost-saving opportunities and enhancing patient outcomes. While not a traditional data broker that exposes personal information to the public, Vizient handles significant amounts of sensitive data, including protected health information (PHI) as a business associate under HIPAA. The primary privacy risks stem from potential data breaches, which could expose sensitive patient and organizational data, leading to fraud and other malicious uses. To protect this information, individuals must rely on the security measures implemented by Vizient and their healthcare providers, as direct opt-out is not applicable in this B2B context.
