VAMS Case Studies
VAMS is used by nearly 100 hospitals nationwide to power high-performance value analysis and supply chain operations.
Centralizing Value Analysis for a 11-Hospital Health System in the Mid-Atlantic Client Profile
A regional health system encompassing 11 hospitals, located in the Mid-Atlantic United States
CHALLENGE
Prior to the implementation of VAMS, the client’s value analysis program was fragmented and inefficient. Product decisions were made independently at the facility level, resulting in:
-
- Inconsistent contract compliance
- Redundant product evaluations
- Limited visibility into system-wide initiatives
- Reliance on unstructured tools such as spreadsheets and email
While some corporate oversight existed, decision-making remained decentralized and chaotic. Efforts to align purchasing and value analysis across the system were sporadic and often ineffective.
SOLUTION
VAMS Implementation with DLG
The health system engaged Data Leverage Group to implement the VAMS (Value Analysis Management Software) platform and align its value analysis processes across all facilities. DLG worked closely with internal stakeholders to customize and deploy workflows that mirrored their operations while centralizing data, documentation, and decision-making.
Key VAMS Functionalities Deployed
- Adaptable Workflow Automation
Customized value analysis workflows to align with clinical, operational, and financial review processes across all hospitals. - PO and Item File Data Integration
Synchronized purchasing and item master data with each initiative for accurate tracking, transparency, and reporting. - Flexible Forms Builder
Designed configurable forms to manage: - New product request workflows
- Price improvement tracking
- Capital requisition approval processes
RESULTS
Following VAMS implementation, the health system achieved rapid, measurable improvements:
-
- Centralized Governance
All new product requests and reviews are now managed through a single system, with full visibility for stakeholders. - Improved Contract Utilization
Enhanced system-wide compliance and standardization through aligned decision-making. - Operational Efficiency
Streamlined communication and project tracking significantly reduced cycle times and manual follow-up.
- Centralized Governance
Why VAMS Was the Right Fit
VAMS was selected over other market options due to its unmatched flexibility and ease of use. Unlike traditional platforms that force organizations to conform to rigid software structures, VAMS adapts to each client’s unique workflows, without additional price tag.
DLG’s Differentiators
