AHVAP Shares New Resources on Tariffs

Dear AHVAP Members and Partners:

As tariffs and international trade policies continue to affect healthcare supply chains, it is essential that healthcare value analysis professionals and our industry partners stay informed and prepared. AHVAP has developed and released a new Understanding Tariffs & Their Impact on US Healthcare Supplies For Healthcare Value Analysis Professionals Resource Guide. This resource guide offers:

• A clear explanation of what tariffs are
• An overview of recent U.S. tariff actions impacting medical goods
• A summary of their implications for healthcare product availability, pricing, and patient safety
• Strategic guidance for mitigating risk and maintaining continuity of care
• Actionable insights for both Value Analysis and Infection Prevention teams

This guide was created in response to growing concerns across our membership regarding rising product costs, potential shortages, and contract variability due to international trade developments. It is designed to equip you with knowledge and tools to make more informed decisions in your product evaluation and sourcing processes. This new guide is available exclusively within the AHVAP Circle Member's-Only Community Resource Center. 

Warm regards,

Team AHVAP
