Position Statement on a Standardized Product Review Process—an indispensable roadmap designed by members, for members to make product decisions faster, safer, and more consistent than ever before!
Dear AHVAP Members,
We’re delighted to unveil our brand-new Position Statement on a Standardized Product Review Process—an indispensable roadmap designed by members, for members to make product decisions faster, safer, and more consistent than ever before.
Why this matters to you
- Three-Tier Product Evaluation Framework—low, moderate, and high-complexity pathways with clear 30-, 90-, and 120-day targets so nothing (and no one) gets stuck in a black hole.
- Triple-Lens Review (Clinical + Operational + Financial) keeps patients at the center while safeguarding budgets and workflows.
- Built-in Conflict-of-Interest safeguards and evidence hierarchies ensure every decision is transparent, data-driven, and defensible.
- Ready-to-use checklists, timelines, and stakeholder maps let you plug-and-play in your next Value Analysis Committee meeting.
How to leverage the statement
- Download & share the document with your Value Analysis Committee, supply-chain, and executive sponsors.
- Benchmark your current process against the three tiers—spot quick wins for cycle-time reductions.
- Adopt the guiding principles (patient-centered focus, data-driven decisions, financial stewardship) to elevate professionalism across your organization.
- Invite feedback at our upcoming member town hall—let’s refine and iterate together!
This new resource is now posted in the Resource Center and on the AHVAP Website under Position Statements. We would like to thank the members of the Education and Clinical Practice Committee for their invaluable stewardship in developing this document for our specialty and the committee’s chair, Sharon Roberts for her leadership on this project!
