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!
Course Materials and Much
More...!
Each attendee will receive a comprehensive set of materials that
include topics not covered in the three day

(The Strategic Value Analysis® System was) “real
useful (to me) and adaptable to healthcare (since I came from

Our pledge to you is
this! From day one of the training program we will get right down
