UCSF Center for Healthcare Value - Caring Wisely 2.0

Crowd-sourcing innovative cost savings ideas from the front lines of care delivery systems

Leveraged Purchasing Decisions Across Medical Centers

Idea Status: 

My observation, as a member of the Value Analysis Committee which is a multi-disciplinary committee charge with reviewing, trialing, and recommending new patient care products and supplies, has been that we could achieve better cost savings, uality, and value added service from our suppliers if there was a state-wide UC committee to review, test, and approve all patient care products and supplies. This would allow us to leverage our spend across medical centers and campuses, and ensure standardization across UC.
