Health Care Value Analysis 201: Advanced Concepts in Health Care Value Analysis

In Part II of this two-part series, value analysis maturity models will be discussed in greater detail with a focus on the particular nuances of individual provider and supplier organizations.

This interactive session will include topics covering physician preference strategies - when to use them and what strategies align best by product service lines; case studies in product utilization - how best to analyze, visualize, and normalize practices for effective patient care while controlling costs; how and when to review disruptive technology initiatives and tips on developing and nurturing physician relationships and maintaining strong value analysis teams.

The presentation will include moderated audience discussion of topics discussed as well as concepts and considerations now being seriously considered based on issues stemming from COVID-19.
