Utilizer™ Dashboard
Are You Ready to Open up a Whole New World of Savings You Didn’t Know Existed?
If you are ready, then with our New and Improved UTILIZER® Supply Utilization and Expense Reduction Dashboard you can have Amazing and Remarkable Results in Just 90-Days!
One of the most important supply chain tools to be introduced in the past 25 Years…
Have You Hit the Wall on Price Savings Yet?
Over the last five years we have proven that utilization management is the future of supply chain expense management. While hospitals, systems and IDNs are saving just a meager 1%, 2% or 3% annually on their price and standardization initiatives, our UTILIZER® Dashboard clients have made a great leap forward and now are realizing 7% to 15% savings on their utilization misalignments.
What I’m talking about here is targeting as a third source of savings (price and standardization being one and two) the wasteful and inefficient consumption, misuse, misapplication, misappropriation and value mismatches in your supply streams. It’s a fact that price savings are slowly disappearing and standardization, for the most part, has been achieved therefore progressive supply chain professionals are moving to the next level of savings performance: Utilization management that has opened a whole new world of savings for them. There is nowhere else to go for savings.
For example, one of our UTILIZER® Dashboard clients was spending $212,926 annually on their contrast media at the right GPO price, at the right GPO tier and with the right GPO rebates. However, they were able to identify, with their UTILIZER® Dashboard, that they were spending $43,296 more than their peers on this commodity group. When this client researched why this was happening they uncovered that their hospital’s radiology department had standardized on 150cc prefilled syringes, when their community standard was 100cc prefilled syringes. Once this utilization misalignment was corrected through training they experienced a 19% reduction in their contract media purchases – almost overnight!
You can experience, in less than 90-days, these same typical, not pumped up or hyped savings results with our UTILIZER® Dashboard subscription service. So if you are hitting the wall on price and standardization savings this could be the right answer for you. It’s quick, easy, user friendly and we do all the heavy lifting for you.

Valuable Tool that Offers Insight on How to Manage Expenses! "The Utilizer® has assisted the hospital in taking cost savings initiatives to the next level. The benchmark data establishes clear targets of cost reduction opportunities based on actual hospital statistics. The end result has been a significant reduction of expense in a relatively short time. It is a valuable tool that offers insight on how to manage the supply chain in the present and on an on-going basis." Dom Panacio, Director of Materials Management, Doylestown Hospital, Doylestown, PA |
You Need the Right Tool to Get the Job Done!
We all know that a hammer is used to strike nails, a drill is used to make holes and a screw driver is used to turn screws. We call this using the precise tool for the right job to get the best results!
Then why do we continue to use the wrong value analysis analytical tool to uncover our utilization savings? The answer is that we don’t always know there is a better tool to get the job done right the first time!
I remember talking to a supply chain manager a few months ago who told me that he was working with three databases (a spend manager, analytics manager and clinical manager), but still couldn’t uncover his hospital’s utilization misalignments. Our measurements showed however that he had $4.2 million in utilization misalignments that were invisible to him. Is this your predicament too?
Pinpoint Your Utilization Savings — With Certainty
If you don’t have a utilization analytical tool to pinpoint, with certainty, where your big, robust and super-sized utilization savings reside, you are missing an extremely important power tool in your toolbox.
When you consider that a hospital, system or IDN can have 18,000 to 48,000 or more products (in 256 categories of purchase) in their MMIS system, where do you get started probing for these hidden savings?
The good news! With our new UTILIZER® Dashboard you will have the exact tool that you have been searching for to quickly uncover all of your utilization misalignments.

Most Powerful Tool in These Difficult Economic Times “The Utilizer® is quickly becoming one of our most powerful tools in these difficult economic times. It has not only been able to show us where we have been, but it also pointing the direction where we need to go in order to remain competitive and viable in what are sure to be challenging times ahead” Bill McFarland, Senior Director, Materials Management, Cambridge Healthcare Alliance, Medford, MA |
UTILIZER® Dashboard to the Rescue!
Over the last 15 years SVAH has conducted hundreds of utilization analytical studies for hospitals, systems and IDNs employing our proprietary UTILIZER® Dashboard which has identifying thousands of utilization misalignments for our clients. These misalignments represent close to a half-a-billion dollars in new savings opportunities – beyond price — for these same clients.
With this said, that’s why SVAH decided four years ago, after much internal debate, to make available our proprietary UTILIZER® Dashboard to the marketplace as a monthly subscription service. This is because we now believe that just periodic utilization studies aren’t a timely or effective way to manage a multi-million dollar supply chain business that our clients require to manage in this faster pace healthcare environment we find ourselves in.
A much better way, after we have repeatedly observed that our client’s utilization patterns are changing so rapidly (in less than three months in some cases), is to provide our clients with time-sensitive access to mission critical and actionable information.
This then is the genesis and the reason for the introduction of our UTILIZER® Dashboard which we believe is one of the most important supply chain tools to be introduced in the past 25 years.

The potential savings opportunities are sorted by financial opportunity; those with the greatest opportunity are first on the list. This utilization tool helps a MM focus on savings opportunities that will yield the greatest positive impact to the bottom line. Roger Graziano, Indiana Regional Hospital, Indiana, PA |
You Can Be in the Driver’s Seat in Just 30-Days
Just imagine having a UTILIZER® Dashboard of your own to identify your entire healthcare organization’s utilization misalignments. This then will provide you with actionable targets of opportunity for your value analysis team(s) to investigate! Much better than guessing where these illusive and hard to get at utilization misalignments are hidden. Here’s how the UTILIZER® works:
1. You download and e-mail to us your purchasing history files on a quarterly basis which we normalize, classify, analyze and benchmark to uncover all of your utilization savings opportunities.
2. We then will upload into your UTILIZER® Dashboard all of your products, services and technologies’ purchases with their optimum utilization factor compared to industry standards and your own utilization history.
3. Based on these highly organized value analysis analytics you will be able to quickly identify where you are high and where you are low on all your of your products, services and technologies’ utilization.

This is a very important feature of our UTILIZER® Dashboard monthly service, since we have found that just having the good actionable data doesn’t always give you insight into why you are over or under our benchmarks. The best news I can give you is that you can be in the “drivers’ seat” in just 30-days.
