Explore how healthcare organizations have used VAMS® to strengthen value analysis, improve collaboration, and support more accountable decision-making.

Children’s Hospital, Texas

“Prior to VAMS we were relying on emails & spreadsheets, now we manage our projects from identification all the way through final implementation in one place…VAMS​”

Prior to VAMS® implementation, client supply chain and value analysis teams were relying on emails and spreadsheets to manage their new product request management activities. Decision making and communication of decisions were not always aligned. After installing VAMS, client was able to vastly improve its speed to decision and communications with key stakeholders. Subsequently, as a result of this success, this client’s pharmacy team jumped at the opportunity to utilize VAMS for its Formulary Management Team. As a result, the pharmacy team has a streamlined process, from beginning to end in which the pharmacy operations accept all new pharmaceutical/drug requests from its physicians through VAMS. The team then manages every step of their process (due diligence, committee review, decision) all the way through final implementation.

“VAMS helped us simplify our decision making process across the network. “

Before the implementation of VAMS, the client’s value analysis program was decentralized with some corporate oversight. Product decision making at the local level was chaotic. Cohesive, system decisions and implementations were sporadic at best. After working with DLG professionals to align their processes and implement VAMS, client was able to immediately centralize all new product requests, decision making. Ultimately, improving system contract compliance and utilization.

“We were relying heavily on a paper based va system, VAMS is now our one true resource sharing hub​. “

Before VAMS implementation, the client was relying on paper based new product request system to manage new technology. DLG staff worked with client to develop one comprehensive intake form enabling the client to streamline multiple processes into one cohesive process. Now, Requestor, Department Manager, Value Analysis, Committee and Supply Chain stakeholders all had one information source and platform to efficiently make defendable decisions because all of their due diligence and documentation was now in place. As a result, client then asked DLG to streamline its Capital Equipment approval process via VAMS.

“VAMS unified our disparate va programs into one centralized operation in no time​. “

In the absence of VAMS, the client was a stand-alone medical center that had no consistent value analysis process or program. DLG staff worked with client to develop value analysis committee structure, policies and procedures. DLG supported client staff as they proliferated the new program. Within 3 months, committees were meeting consistently and utilizing VAMS as their value analysis platform. Fast forward 3 years. Client formed a new health system entity and brought in hospitals (1 medium size, 1 small). Neither organization had a strong value analysis program but had forms and processes in place. Client was able to leverage the previous success it had in implementing its program by simply expanding the VAMS platform to include the 2 new entities. Within days, client was able to centralize its program and direct all requests and committee activity through VAMS. Thus, having a unified program with the least amount of effort and time.

I have used Data Leverage Group’s platform (VAMS) to create inter-operable data insights, map processes, value streams and workflows across various supply chains in large complex academic medical centers.
