Podcast 66 - Integrating Utilization Management Into Your Hospital's Value Analysis Program

We recently conducted a webinar for our value analysis/supply chain
community on the benefits of integrating supply utilization
management (SUM) into their value analysis program because we
believe there is nowhere else to go to achieve double-digit supply
chain expense savings. Here are some highlights from this
webinar.

Over the last 76 years value analysis has evolved from a purely
manufacturing technique to a universally applied strategy to save
money and improve quality in all industries worldwide and has saved
billions of dollars for organizations who champion its use. VA is
now evolving in healthcare since our new cost and quality
challenges require new ways of doing business. In short, our old VA
methods need to be updated or they won’t get us where we want to go
over the next few years.
