Value analysis is inadequately and inefficiently deployed across the nation. Lacking objective information, hospitals are faced with trying to reconcile personal preferences when assessing a new product or service. These decisions frequently affect patient care. Why?
- There is no reliable, standard set of criteria for weighing options.
- Data necessary to make a fact-based, objective decision is unavailable or difficult to find.
- There is no easy way for organizations to network and share the results of prior value analysis.
ValueConnect will help members meet these challenges by collaborating on an alliance-wide approach to value analysis. The program combines GPO sourcing processes with data from Premier’s cost and quality products, as well as member expertise. Members will effectively evaluate products and treatment options across the alliance to rapidly take advantage of cost savings and quality improvements. In short: do it once; do it well. This program transforms:
- Personal preferences to objective data,
- A hospital by hospital approach to a system-wide approach,
- Pure cost reduction to improving outcomes, and
- Inconsistent follow-up to improving results.
