The CVAHP committee members have hit the ground running. Work teams are forming and beginning work on the 2022 CVAHP Committee Goals. CVAHP Work team descriptions, team leaders and updates listed below.

1. Maintain accreditation of the CVAHP certification

Conduct Healthcare Value Analysis Professionals job analysis under the direction of Prometric, our Certification service. Periodic reassessment of the profession is required to maintain our certification. With this information, we can identify practice changes that may have occurred since the original Job Analysis conducted in 2014-2015 and make adjustments to the certification exam.

Team Leader: Andrew Kaiser
