2 Value Analysis Summit Correlating Infection Prevention with Outcomes Infection prevention is the top patient safety concern in healthcare today. It s estimated that 1 in 20 hospitalized patients will contract a healthcare associated infection and nearly 100,000 people die from these infections every year. On top of that, infection prevention has also become a major financial concern for healthcare provider organizations, with multiple new programs penalizing facilities with high infection rates. This first-ever forum focusing on using value analysis methods to improve infection control will bring together supply chain leaders, value analysis professionals, and suppliers to discuss how to use analytics to make better decisions about infection prevention products and procedures. Understand how the latest value analysis methods can lead to informed decisions about infection control procedures and products Get practical ideas for preventing healthcare-acquired infections and ensuring that your facility doesn t receive costly reimbursement penalties Hear best-practice case studies from providers on the front lines of infection control decision-making Who Should Attend Healthcare value analysis professionals Healthcare supply chain professionals Infection prevention leaders Manufacturer and distributor executives interested in helping reduce infections through application of value analysis techniques How You ll Benefit Identify standardized evaluation methods for infection prevention products Understand why hand hygiene compliance remains a problem and how product choices make a difference Learn to make the business case for increased investment in infection prevention products and programs (these programs cost far less per year of life saved compared to popular screening and wellness initiatives!)
