Finally, A Small Select Group Will Have The Opportunity To Learn From The Industry Leading Value Analysis Experts and Get Million Dollar Savings How-To’s At The Same Time… Will You Be One Of Them?

A lot of people asked us if it is really true that our clients actually save $3, $7, or even $13 million dollars by applying the strategies, tactics, and techniques of our value analysis system. After 27 years of teaching this unique System to 5,236 material managers, physicians, clinicians and executive management teams in the real world of healthcare, and department heads and managers, I have an unsurprising answer to their question: Yes!

Yes, hospitals, Systems and IDNs just like yours are making these great strides and mega savings happen – beyond price – because of the advanced value analysis training we have provided for them. I know this to be true, because they are our clients and we have carefully documented their savings results in order to prove that our System works in any and all healthcare organizations.

Learn How They’re Doing it – And How You Can Too

Until recently, price was king when healthcare organizations talked about saving money, but the time has passed for this type of thinking. Let’s face it! It’s getting harder and harder to meet your savings objective each year, especially since your price savings are quickly fading away!  But the savings game doesn’t stop because it is getting more difficult to find savings.  Your management still needs to generate at least 6% margin (profits) each year to insure the sustainability and viability of your healthcare organization.  

Now, there’s a more reliable – almost guaranteed — way to save money, with our client tested supply value analysis system for creating savings on demand that has proven to be effective for beginners, intermediate and advanced value analysis leaders alike.

In fact, it has helped 356 hospitals, 19 Systems and IDNs and 109 alternate care facilities add new multiple savings streams to their profit centers (close to a half billion dollars at last count). It has helped healthcare organizations to move away from just price savings and open up whole new savings vistas in utilization savings where 76% of new savings reside.  It has accelerated the number of savings projects a value analysis team can manage on an annual basis. And it may well be just what you’ve been looking for!

The award winning value analysis methodology is called the Strategic Value Analysis® System and until this year, when we decided to offer our System in public training program, it was the best kept secret in healthcare.   

What Is The System And Why Do The Hospitals, Systems And IDNs Who Use It Achieve Such Dramatic Results?

Ten years ago to be exact, Robert T. Yokl, President & Chief Value Strategist of SVAH, who was already pretty successful training value analysis teams took a long, hard look at how the healthcare industry was planning, organizing, structuring, deploying, measuring, analyzing, incentivizing, documenting and implementing savings with their supply value analysis programs and realized that there had to be a better, faster and smarter way to do this important work. In particular, he found that traditional supply value analysis programs were lacking in:

1. An explicitly prescribed culture and infrastructure that was needed to achieve and sustain savings results.
2. Customer Critical-to Quality Requirements were not front and center
3. The recognition of the impact of customization vs. standardization
4. A new way to organize value analysis teams to produce “creative friction”
5. Techniques to uncover any and all waste and inefficiency in the supply chain
6. The linking of quality, speed (cycle time) and low cost together
7. Specific tools to accelerate the identification and implementation of hidden supply utilization misalignments
8. A defined methodology (or steps) to functionally analyze and develop exacting product, service and technology specifications.

Robert then, after three years of field research and vigorous client testing, deployed his new Strategic Value Analysis® System (that corrected, and set right the deficiencies noted above) at hundreds of hospitals, systems and IDNs in the U.S. over the last seven years. The results was that his clients have saved 3, 7 or even 11 fold more in supply chain savings than they had prior to receiving his Certified Value Analysis Leader™ and/or Certified Value Analysis Manager Training™ Programs.

In short, healthcare organizations continue to use this unique System because it works!

It works…because it gives the infrastructure that is needed to successfully implement your value analysis initiatives and achieve and sustain savings. It works…because the infrastructure successfully engages your senior management in the value analysis process so you can be assured of their support. It works… because of a well defined 6-step Value Analysis Funneling® process that guides your project managers through the hard work of uncovering and implementing your supply chain savings. It works…because of the extensive toolbox that SVAH provides along with its training to attack even the most troublesome purchases, such as, pacemakers, orthopedics, spinal implants, stents, and electromechanical devices.

The System Is The One-And-Only Comprehensive, A-to-Z Healthcare Value Analysis Training Course That Covers Everything You Need To Know To Be Wildly Successful In Value Analysis!

It’s a big claim, I know, and you may be curious how any training program could possible live up to it.

Just so there’s no possible confusion about what the System is – and what it isn’t let me break down my claim into eight specific guarantees:

Guarantee #1:  You’ll get “tried and true” strategies, tactics and techniques that work in the real world.  No guessing. No theory.

The System is based on 27 years of experience (not theory) working with hundreds of healthcare organizations throughout the nation who have been successful in implementing their own supply value analysis programs.

Guarantee #2:  You’ll get an entire step-by-step blueprint of everything you need to do to make supply savings happen at your healthcare organization. Nothing is left out.

The System is a total approach which means that you won’t have to learn dozens of unrelated techniques to make it work.  Every part of the System is directly related to every other part.  This makes it easier to learn, easier to use, and most important, easier to save than any other approach to value analysis you’ve ever seen.

Guarantee #3:  You’ll get fast, measurable and sustainable savings results from the System as soon as you start using the little known secrets that will be taught to you in this program.

If you already have a supply value analysis program, you’ll be able to start saving from what you learn — right away.  If you are starting, refining or re-inventing what you have been doing you will see dramatic savings within 90 days.

Guarantee #4:  You’ll get tools and techniques that will generate supply savings faster, better and smarter and will save you and your team members precious time and resources.

What good is a new System if you don’t have the time to use it?  You’ll discover how to make more savings in less time and effort so that you can spend more time doing what matters to you most.

Guarantee #5:  You’ll learn how to put your supply value analysis program on “auto-pilot” and make savings happen on demand.

We will teach you how to target your new savings opportunities continuously, so you never will need to guess where your next savings are coming from.  We will teach you how to organize your supply value analysis program so that it almost manages itself.

Guarantee #6:  You’ll get a proven, step-by-step system to discover the “voice of your customers” to determine what they really need, not what they are asking for.

You will find our “value stream mapping” process, that we will teach you, is the fastest way to determine what your customers’ exact requirements (specifications) are vs. what they only think they are and will quickly lower your supply chain cost.

Guarantee #7:  You’ll learn strategies to grow your savings yield 10 fold and speed up the time it takes for you to implement your savings projects.

We will show you a much better way to prioritize, organize and implement your savings projects. This will double or even triple your savings yield and while teaching you how to employ less resources to do so.

Unheard Of Guarantee #8:  If you feel that we haven’t met any of the above claims by midday on the second day of our three-day training program, we will refund 100% of your investment for this program – no questions asked!

It’s our goal to meet your expectations exactly with our Strategic Value Analysis® System, so we don’t want you to go home without us meeting this expectation.  Our “unheard of guarantee”, we believe, makes the credibility of all of our seven guarantees possible!

(The Strategic Value Analysis® System was) “real useful (to me) and adaptable to healthcare (since I came from industry) and pretty intuitive (too). I like how it employs the statistical process, which makes sense to me.”
