AHVAP at the Fall 2020 IDN Summit

AHVAP was well represented at the recent Fall 2020 IDN Summit with two Clinical Integration Track presentations.

Day One: AHVAP leaders Laura Polson-President, Sue Toomey-President Elect, Sue Mille-Past President and Gloria Graham-chair IBEC Committee participated in the panel discussion “Maintaining a Deliberate Balance: Value Analysis Shaping the Path Forward” moderated by Barbara Strain, founding member and past president. This was a pre-recorded session accompanied by live chat by the panelists covering a series of curated, thought-provoking questions using the backdrop of the before and during the pandemic to unveil new pathways. Topics included defining deliberate balance, key elements that will inform the path forward, continue developing supplier relationships for the new healthcare, and the use of a play book.

Day Three: AHVAP hosted the Value Analysis Idea Exchange where healthcare value analysis and supplier professionals shared their pain points and successes in a virtual networking environment. Moderator Barbara Strain used polling questions, attendee topics and virtual group chat rooms to keep the two-hour virtual networking session interactive. Discussions ranged from what would bring the most value to the attendees in a post COVID-19 new healthcare, is value analysis open for business today, how can suppliers and providers continue to develop relationships that work, value analysis structure and process realignment and other tactics to put what has been learned into new leading practices.

These and other sessions are available on the IDN Summit site for 30 days.
