Everyone has a degree of experience in cost management, personal and business-wise, which we bring to the table in our value analysis meetings. There is also common sense that can guide us as well, but these experiences and common sense can only get us so far in the savings game. We need to have solid mindsets, knowledge-based tools, and some clever methods in order to find the next level of major savings led by value analysis. Here are the top four elements that will help you save big with your health system's value analysis program.

Data professionals would love an easy button to be able to make clean, complete, uncompromised data for driving healthcare value. Is this more fantasy than reality? It's definitely not an easy task. It's more of a journey of trying to figure out how to make data continuously better. We are blessed with advanced technology but we still have a lot of policy and governance and people work to do. However, we have moved in leaps and bounds with the help of modern day tools, like Machine Learning, that are giving us the ability to move faster, gain more visibility and essentially provide an extra set of hands, which is phenomenal in the field of healthcare.Sign up for our webinar: How to Modernize Your Data Platform in Healthcare: The Right Fit for Every Unique Health System - Wednesday December 7 2022: 1pm ET / 10am PT.

On this week's episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl talks about three data analytics you should consider using in your day-to-day as a supply chain leader: "We are all looking for enhancements that will add value to our healthcare value analysis process without adding more time, work, or resources to generate even greater savings yields, or quality and safety improvements. The easiest, most foolproof and decision-driven way that we have discovered to meet this goal is with data analytics. Here are three useful data analytics that can change the way your hospital value analysis teams do business..." Tune in for the full article! Loving the #PowerSupply conversations?

On this week's episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl talks about the ups and downs of brainstorming in the healthcare supply chain decision making process: "Other experts have said that there are a lot of bad ideas thrown around in brainstorming sessions and that they should be vigorously debated and then eliminated immediately. Our opinion is that if you follow these recommendations, there will be a good chance that no time will be left to evaluate all the ideas accumulated on your chart and you will miss some big savings, quality, or safety improvement opportunities by doing so..."

Now that the value analysis community has embraced value analysis software (VAS) as a best practice, more hospitals, systems, and IDNs are acquiring this easy to master technology. However, for those value analysis practitioners contemplating purchasing value analysis software in the future, here are some of the top mistakes to avoid that can be costly when deciding on your own VA software:

There are many different iterations that value analysis has morphed, evolved, and emerged into leading up to 2022. Value analysis is predominantly applied to products, services, and technologies in the healthcare supply chain. The primary focus of value analysis practitioners is working with hospital and/or system-based value analysis teams that are assigned categories of products and services to review. The main goal is to validate the efficacy of these products and services but also to assist with the selection of the right product used in the clinical environment. Lastly, healthcare value analysis should be a catch point for savings and quality improvements while performing various reviews, studies, and evaluations on an ongoing basis.

On this week's episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl argues for looking beyond a price-only view of your Supply Chain responsibilities: "If you are just attacking the price at the pump, then you are missing huge savings opportunities in your products, configurations, deliveries, and disposal cost. While price is important, it pales in comparison to your total cost of acquisition to disposition of everything you are buying. That's why price is only 38% of the value equation and the balance of your product, service, and technology cost is 62%. What cost drivers will obtain the best return-on-your-investment if you put them under your value analysis microscope? I'm sure you now know the answer to this question..."

On this week's episode of Power Supply Articles On-the-Go, Bob Yokl describes the importance of diagnosing your healthcare Supply Chain challenges before trying to implement a solution: "The simple truth is that we, as an industry, are treating symptoms of a problem more often than the actual cause of the behavior with so-so results. To correct this behavior, diagnose before you prescribe a solution. This will enable you to root out the causes of your cost and quality issues and then stamp out all waste and inefficiencies in your supply streams..." Loving the #PowerSupply conversations?

The specific circumstances that call us to lead will be different, but the core dilemmas and ethical challenges are very similar. Faced with these challenges, each of us must decide if we will follow our ego-centered inclinations or lead for the good of everyone whose lives we touch? Will we endanger or impair those around us to satisfy our own self-interest, or will we lead in a manner that is true to our values?In his inspiring book Lead True, Jeff Thompson, MD, has masterfully compiled stories from the business, healthcare, and education fields, illustrating how a diverse group of leaders has employed value-based leadership and succeeded. These case studies offer dynamic, living narratives that demonstrate ways in which a leader, fueled by personal values, can change people, organizations, and even entire industries.What sets this book apart is the interweaving of the author’s personal leadership story in healthcare to the insights from start-ups, mid-career, and top-level leaders—people who have proven that values-driven leadership is not simply a noble idea but one that actually works in practice. The author artfully shows that the goal of leadership is not to move one individual ahead of all others. When you lead true, you can move everyone forward—people, organizations, and communities—finding the best route for all.The Positive Phil Show is a daily podcast hosted by Positive Phil.www.positivephil.comThe program primarily consists of interviews with positive people and thought leaders, as well as others in the social, business and entertainment community.We are a community of over 1,550,000 people who seek to create positive and lasting change.

Healthcare Value analysis training appears to be at the bottom of most VA practitioners to do list, yet it is an imperative that you and your VA teams have basic, advanced and then masterclass value analysis training. Not one-time training, but training on an on-going basis.  One hospital we worked with that has annual VA training for their VA team leaders and VA team members. This is the only way to ensure that your VA training sticks.  If this isn’t your practice too, here are 4 reasons why you must do so before your Hospital VA teams lose their edge

Stop Health Barriers is a station focused on highlighting the barriers, that conceal how healthcare services are graded for quality, price, and delivered outcome. These barriers can limit your wellness goals and reduce the value of the healthcare services you think you will receive. Although healthcare access is a right, it’s far from universal without insurance. And even with insurance, there are hidden barriers awaiting you. Invisible barriers discovered only when sick. This weekly radio series will identify and expose those barriers, making you an educated consumer of healthcare services, as well as, a knowledgeable advocate for healthcare reform. Since we believe that an educated consumer is our healthiest listener.

There seems to be reluctance to automate a hospital, system or IDN’s value analysis program’s tasks or activities at too many healthcare organizations, even though it could be a big productivity booster for their value analysis program. Here are five reasons to consider doing so in this fiscal year:

Date: August 21, 2014 Featuring: Neel Shah, MD, MPP, Founder and Executive Director, Costs of Care September Wallingford, RN, MSN, Brigham and Women’s Hospital; Director for Nursing Advocacy, Costs of Care Christopher Moriates, MD, Assistant Clinical Professor, UCSF; Director, Center for Healthcare Value’s “Caring Wisely"; Director of Implementation Initiatives, Costs of Care​ Michele Rhee, Director of Program Initiatives, National Brain Tumor Society; Director of Strategic Initiatives, Costs of Care It's an all-too-familiar scenario: a doctor mapping out next steps at a medical appointment — perhaps prescribing new medications or ordering some tests —oblivious to the costs, including whether the patient might bear the brunt of them.  Some now consider this a form of harm that physicians, nurses, and others need to become more conscious of and do everything possible to prevent. That’s why we hope you’ll listen to this WIHI, where our guests discuss an innovative effort in the US to help caregivers make more high-value decisions that can protect patients from unnecessary care and expenses. Fortunately, more providers today appreciate that they have a role to play in reducing overall health care costs in the US — especially when entrenched habits and “business as usual” lead to ordering a lot of procedures of questionable value. But it’s newer to translate this awareness into honest discussions with patients about treatment options in the context of their specific medical benefits and any financial concerns. Doing this in a way that does not compromise care, proponents argue, is both essential and possible.  Asking doctors and nurses to become more accountable for the financial burdens they may be unwittingly imposing on their patients has been the work of Dr. Neel Shah, the founder of Costs of Care. Dr. Shah and the assembled panel for the August 21 WIHI walked us through the many ways patients and their caregivers can both become more cost-conscious and, together, make better decisions. It’s a different kind of partnership that, on the one hand, can ensure that recommended care is followed and feasible; and on the other hand, could prevent someone from medical bankruptcy.

Joining me for Episode #267 is Stephen M. Shortell PhD, MPH, MBA. He is Blue Cross of California Distinguished Professorship, HPM and is a Professor of Organizational Behavior at the University of California Berkeley School of Public Health. He is the director of the Center for Healthcare Organizational and Innovation Research (CHOIR). Today, we are talking about Lean healthcare and a new initiative that's part of CHOIR called CLEAR: the Center for Lean Engagement & Research in Healthcare. You can read a release about CLEAR, which highlights funding coming from the Lean Enterprise Institute, the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value, and Rona Consulting Group. In this episode, we talk about the Center, their planned research, and some reasons why there is variation in what organizations would describe as "Lean" - variation in methods and approach as well as variation in results.

Joining me for episode #248 of the podcast is Drew Locher, an author, consultant, speaker, and, also like me, a faculty member for the Lean Enterprise Institute and the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value. You can read his bio via his consulting website, Change Management Associates. Drew's books include Value Stream Mapping for Lean Development: A How-To Guide for Streamlining Time to Market, Lean Office and Service Simplified: The Definitive How-To Guide, and Unleashing the Power of 3P: The Key to Breakthrough Improvement. He also, most recently, released a second edition of The Complete Lean Enterprise: Value Stream Mapping for Office and Services, a recipient of the Shingo Research Award. You can also read his two guest posts that I've published on this blog. In this episode, we talk about his books, how Lean is about more than just tools, and the need to focus on "the critical few things" instead of falling victim to a "scattershot" approach to reducing waste. "We learn more by doing than talking about it," says Drew about Lean.

For episode #236, things are a little different than usual. Today, I wanted to share a video discussion between my friends Ted Stiles and John Toussaint, MD. Ted is a partner with the recruiting firm Stiles & Associates. John, of course, is the president of the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value and has been a frequent guest in my podcast series. John's most recent book is Management on the Mend. For a link to this episode, refer people to www.leanblog.org/236.

Joining me once again on the podcast today is John Toussaint, MD, the founder and CEO of the ThedaCare Center for Healthcare Value. We're talking about his latest book, Management on the Mend. John wrote this new book to document "core elements of successful Lean transformations" that he's seen, not just at ThedaCare, but at other organizations around the world. The book outlines a "transformation model" that can be used to structure a Lean transformation, while John admits there's not just one prescription or framework that could work. John was previously a guest for episodes #184, #159, #146, #72, #62, and #54 going back to 2008. His previous books, which I highly recommend, are On the Mend and the follow up Potent Medicine, both are Shingo Research Award recipients.

How do concepts of consumer choice, data transparency, and focusing on preventive care help to "engaged all employees in the healthcare challenge"? For example, 90% of their diabetic employees have their disease "under control" as compared to about 30% nationally. What is this "grass roots revolution" in healthcare?
