Value Analysis:Something of Value\n\nHAT IS VALUE analysis?Is it justanother name for cost reduction,costengineering,engineering economics,or valueengineering?Is it a procedure for determiningreturn on investment,payoff period,or othermeasure of profitability?Is it appropriate forhospitals to implement value analysis or is itjust for the competitive world of business?The answers depend on your point of view.Inthe broadest sense,value analysis is simply asystematic way of determining how to pro-duce or obtain value most economically.Inthat sense,value analysis is certainly appropri-ate for hospitals.  \nWhat is value?Value is whatever the pa-tient expects from the hospital:courtesy,privacy,prompt attention,skillful care fromstaff,cleanliness,accurate information abouttests and medications,personal attention fromthe attending physician,good food-you nameit.It can also be any objective the administra-tion of the hospital wants-such as careful useof equipment,efficient use of supplies,mini-mum number of accidents,and satisfied pa-tients.  \n## Something for everyone\n\nValue analysis can take many forms.Thepurchasing agent,for example,can check withunit supervisors to see whether they are satis-  \nVolume 8,Number 7  \nApril 7,1975  \nHOSPITAL SUPERVISION  \nfied with the supplies they order and to deter-mine whether various products are being putto their maximum use.He or she can tell su-pervisors about new products or about dif-ferent ones that might better suit the intendedpurpose.Or the hospital administration cansponsor (and require)periodic refreshercourses for different staff jobs to ensure qual-ity care.  \nThe financial management department canuse value analysis to streamline billing andpayment procedures;the clerical department,to select office machines that are relativelyservice-free and that would save time and im-prove accuracy;the personnel department,tofind the best standardized tests;the food-service department,to discover low-ccst foodsthat are nutritious and tasty;the nursing ser-vice department,to adapt daily routines topatients'needs.  \n## Reduce costs and improve quality\n\nThere is almost no limit to the ways inwhich ingenuity can be used to reduce costswhile improving quality-or without sacrific-ing quality.Of course,some of these waysrequire a lot of research,testing,or extensiveplanning and financial analysis.Many others,however,are within the reach of any alert su-pervisor.The supervisor of nursing,for ex-  \nample,uses value analysis when she or heplans the work of the unit and coordinates itwith other units.  \nValue analysis can also be profitably usedin the engineering-maintenance department.The maintenance supervisor who keeps de-tailed records of every repair job has a goodbase from which to start.Are there frequentelectrical problems in one area?With this in-formation,the maintenance supervisor coulddecide whether rewiring is necessary orwhether certain pieces of equipment could beconnected to a different power source.Evensimple things,such as noting where a water-base paint is inappropriate,are a part of valueanalysis.  \nMuch of this,obviously,is just commonsense-but common sense applied systemat-ically.Unless a supervisor makes it a practiceto think about such matters,he or she is notlikely to get the most profitable results  \nBe systematic  \nBeing systematic is at the heart of valueanalysis.Have you ever watched a pilot andcrew prepare for the take-off of a plane?Theydo not trust their safety to memory alone;they review a checklist of items in a count-down procedure.  \nValue analysis is somewhat like that.A listof questions is prepared which,if correctlyanswered and analyzed,will ensure maximumvalue for unit of cost.The answers are thenstudied to arrive at the best procedure.  \nSo the value analyst begins by asking suchquestions as:  \n●What is the estimated cost of materials,labor,and overhead required to perform a par-ticular service?  \n●Which of these costs seem to be high orcould possibly be reduced?  \n●","cbCaign4XzZlXBbm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaign4XzZlXBbm","pdf",1362165,"English","# Something for
