Optimizing surgical preference cards

Our leading technology

Vizient’s in-house platform continuously monitors preference card quality, automatically generates actionable guidance and identifies savings opportunities. This helps providers identify opportunities to reduce unwarranted clinical variation across similar procedures and create operational efficiencies, leading to fewer wasted supplies and room set up delays, greater billing accuracy and opportunities for standardization across procedures, all of which can positively impact clinical outcomes and revenue.

Additionally, our new technology enhances Vizient's ability to help providers digitize the supply chain to create workflows that are safer and more efficient, reducing patient time in the operating room and enabling clinicians to prioritize care delivery.

Our physician preference card optimization approach utilizes a four-step process

1. Assess — using technology to evaluate preference card spend data and conduct a review of clinical preference card processes through observations and interviews
2. Design — collaboratively develop a strategy to improve preference card accuracy and maintenance
3. Deploy — implement the strategy developed
4. Sustain — establish a sustainment plan
