Clinical Value Analysis Team Update
Ginna Maggard
Do you want a voice in product selection, be part of a committee that reviews physician preference items proposed to WVMC? Be part of our CVAT Committee.
- Next meeting: 7:00am, September 12, Indian Creek Room
Clinical Value Analysis Team (CVAT) 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 Ginna Maggard, or one of our committee members. CVAT meetings our every other month, and there is a Fast Track process if the product is needed prior to the meeting. Once the product is requested on the New Product Request Form (Lumere – 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.
