Clinithink and Premier Inc., a leading healthcare improvement company, have signed a strategic partnership that will enable Premier customers to benefit from Clinithink’s award-winning CLiX technology to harness the power of unstructured real-world data (RWD).
Based on the CLiX technology, CLiX unlock automates manual chart review and can process millions of documents in hours thanks to its ground-breaking clinical natural language processing (NLP) ability. CLiX unlock provides deep, actionable insights that dramatically reduce the time and cost of clinical research and enables much deeper understanding of care pathways to expand access to new medicines for patients.

Premier unites an alliance of more than 4,100 hospitals and health systems and more than 210,000 other providers and organizations.

CLiX unlock will enable them to find patients for research and studies in very complex therapeutic areas, such as oncology where there are more than 16,000 actively recruiting trials, as well as improve patient recruitment and site identification for clinical trials, where estimates put the rate of participation as low as three percent of trial candidates.
