Clinical Value Analysis Team (CVAT) Update
Ginna Maggard
BSN, RN
Clinical Value Analysis Team is a physician-led, data-driven and patient-focused initiative to bring physician preference items (PPI) into use at the hospital based on evidence. We have found the most successful submissions have strong clinical evidence and overwhelming, if not unanimous, support from the physician-led committee.
If you have a request for a new product or service line, please feel free to contact me, Ginna Maggard, or one of our committee members. CVAT meetings are every other month, but we do have a Fast Track process if the product is needed prior to the meeting. Once the product is requested on the New Product Request Form, you can expect an answer within two business days. New product forms are available on the Intranet or in hard copy in the OR.
2017 Approved Products: Taylor Spatial Frame.
