Digitizing and Streamlining Product and Capital Requests at a 341-Bed Medical Center

Location: Northwest U.S.Industry: Acute Care | Product: VAMS® (Value Analysis Management Software)

CHALLENGE
This 341-bed medical center relied on a paper-based system to manage new product requests and emerging technology evaluations. Stakeholders were inundated with scattered documentation, siloed feedback, and a lack of transparency, which delayed decisions and hindered accountability.
 

    • Request forms were inconsistent and incomplete
    • Department managers and committees lacked access to prior documentation
    • Supply chain and finance had no centralized system for tracking progress
    • Capital equipment requests followed an entirely separate, manual process
SOLUTION

VAMS® by Data Leverage Group

DLG partnered with the client to eliminate inefficiencies and consolidate fragmented processes into one digital platform. The team built a comprehensive intake form that replaced multiple forms and disconnected processes. With VAMS®, all stakeholders—clinical, financial, and operational—could now work from a single source of truth.

Key Functionalities Implemented:

    • Adaptable Workflows
      Tailored VAMS workflows to support both new product and capital equipment approvals, including stakeholder-specific routing and visibility.
    • Flexible Forms Builder
      Created a unified intake form to manage:
        • New technology/product requests
        • Price improvement initiatives
        • Committee-ready documentation with standardized fields
    • Meeting Management Tools
      Enabled users to organize and manage meetings, including agenda planning, documentation, minutes, and task follow-up—all within VAMS.
RESULTS
    • One Streamlined Process
      The client consolidated multiple workflows into a single, efficient path for product evaluation and approval.
    • Improved Decision-Making
      Stakeholders now collaborate using the same dataset, documentation, and workflow—making decisions faster and more defendable.
    • Expanded Usage
      Due to the success of the product request workflow, the medical center invited DLG to digitize its Capital Equipment approval process through VAMS.
