Legacy Challenges and New Beginnings: Value Analysis Lessons from Two Systems

UCI Health and LifeBridge Health share best practices for implementing new tools and processes within their respective value analysis teams. UCI Health, the clinical enterprise of the University of California, Irvine, brings the perspective of a leading academic health system working to evolve and expand its value analysis function across a growing network of care. LifeBridge Health, a well-established system based in Maryland, highlights how legacy organizations can break long-held patterns to embrace innovation and transformation.

Though different operationally, both teams prioritize data-driven analytics, clinical research, and streamlined product evaluation protocols to create sustainable change, drive cost savings, and improve outcomes.
