What Makes Value Analysis Unique?

The difference between U.S.COST’s Value Analysis (VA) programs and typical consulting engagements are clear:

• Value Analysis is a facilitated team-based approach that utilizes current manager-level hospital staff members as key participants
• Hospital team members are reinforced with outside consultants in order to gain their expertise on potential solutions
• A solid focus on a functional analysis of the current processes—other approaches hone in on specific activities, which has been shown to restrict the generation of creative ideas for process improvement

Revenue cycle analyses are performed by an objective outside team that reviews data and recommends changes. But participation by current staff members is the essential ingredient to understanding the existing procedures performed in each area of the revenue cycle. By breaking down current processes into basic functions, the team more easily identifies alternative activities that will provide the same function with greater efficiency and eliminate unnecessary costs or effort.
