Streamlining Product and Formulary Management at a Leading Children’s Hospital
Location: Texas | Industry: Pediatric Healthcare | Product: VAMS® (Value Analysis Management Software)
CHALLENGE
Prior to VAMS®, the hospital’s supply chain and value analysis teams managed new product request workflows through emails and spreadsheets—tools that offered little structure, visibility, or accountability. The result was:
-
- Disjointed communication
- Fragmented decision-making
- Delayed approval processes
- Lack of transparency for stakeholders
This unstructured approach created friction across teams and slowed down time-sensitive product evaluations.
SOLUTION
VAMS® by Data Leverage Group
VAMS® was implemented to bring clarity, structure, and efficiency to the hospital’s request management processes. DLG worked directly with the client to configure workflows for both the supply chain and, later, the pharmacy team—enabling centralized request intake, transparent evaluations, and coordinated decisions.
Key VAMS Functionalities Implemented:
-
- Adaptable Workflow Automation
Supported new product requests, savings initiatives, and P&T Committee workflows—customized for both clinical and operational needs. - Dynamic Forms Engine
Built custom intake forms for:-
- New medical product requests
- Pharmacy P&T (Pharmacy & Therapeutics) Committee requests
- Price improvement tracking
- GPO and supply chain initiative tracking
-
- PO and Item File Synchronization
Enabled real-time tracking of requests, spend data, and initiative alignment across teams. - Meeting Management Tools
Organized agendas, committee meetings, and meeting minutes, improving documentation and communication at every step.
- Adaptable Workflow Automation
RESULTS
After VAMS® implementation, the hospital experienced transformative outcomes:
-
- Accelerated Decision-Making
Time to evaluate and approve product requests was significantly reduced. - Stronger Communication
All stakeholders—from physicians to administrators—gained visibility into status, decisions, and next steps. - Expanded Use Case
Due to initial success, the Pharmacy team adopted VAMS® for formulary management, creating a seamless end-to-end workflow for pharmaceutical requests.

Why VAMS® Made the Difference
VAMS® provided a single, highly adaptable platform to manage complex workflows without requiring the team to change how they work. Unlike other rigid platforms, VAMS® was customized to the hospital’s needs—without additional cost or operational disruption.
