AHVAP Executive Director’s Message

As I reflect on 2022, healthcare has taken many bends and turns as we have all experienced. AHVAP has been an organization built on the premise of advancing clinical value analysis across the entire continuum of care. AHVAP is an Association that is rich in collaboration between healthcare providers and organizations, industry partners, and other stakeholders. Working closely with your Board of Directors, AVHAP’s strategic plan will be updated to reflect the dynamic needs of healthcare today and tomorrow. Our Association is poised for tremendous growth, and AHVAP is already growing in terms of new members as well as our professional certification program.

In 2023, AHVAP is launching innovative new programming for our members including:

• Monthly, accredited webinars with both nursing and CVAHP^™ continuing education credits

• New educational certificate programs

• A new certification board to advance our CVAHP^™ credential

• Digital Badging to promote your CVAHP^™ credential

• Refreshed volunteer committees and volunteer training

• A revised monthly newsletter

• New AHVAP Fellows Program

• Executive Development and Leadership Certificate Program

• CVAHP^™ Continuing Education VIP Concierge Service

We are always listening to our members and partners. If you have an idea that you would like us to consider, simply email it to info@ahvap.org. AHVAP is made up of the most dedicated healthcare value-analysis professionals in the industry, and together we can shape the future of healthcare delivery from the inside out. I look forward to working closely with each of you throughout 2023. Thank you for your continued membership in AHVAP!
