Valley Health System selects Valify for end-to-end support to meet ambitious purchased services savings goals

FRISCO, Texas - July 9, 2019 - PRLog -- Valify today announced that Valley Health System has selected Valify to provide analytics, benchmarks, sourcing tools, and resources at every stage of the cost reduction process.

Valley Health System is a fully accredited, acute-care, not-for-profit hospital serving more than 440,000 people in 32 towns in Bergen County and adjoining communities. Valley Health System is consistently awarded for its dedication to high-quality patient care and service.

Valley Health System will use Valify's data-driven opportunity identification technology to proactively identify potential savings areas. To realize savings and meet their ambitious goals, the health system will utilize Valify's end-to-end purchased services expense management solution to gain complete spend and vendor visibility, customized benchmarks, and the ability to track and monitor projects in one centralized location. The health system determined that having a clean and categorized data set that's readily accessible is crucial to strategically manage their spend and narrow their focus on the opportunities that will yield the most savings.

The health system chose Valify as their purchased services cost reduction tool over other traditional methods in order to ensure accuracy and speed throughout the cost reduction process, from spend categorization to opportunity identification to realized savings. The team will rely on monthly data refreshes with automatic alerts on any potential spend spikes, incorrect GLs used, and spend with vendors they have eliminated to help control rogue spending.

As a Valify client, Valley Health System will benefit from maximum visibility due to spend categorization across the health system's entire non-labor AP spend. Since 65-75% of purchased services spend is typically not tied to a purchase order, ERP data alone does not give a health system like Valley Health System visibility into the full potential impact of their purchased services savings opportunities. Valley Health System recognized that their ERP system was only showing them about a third of their purchased services spend and needed a solution like Valify to help them capture a complete data set. "We are excited about working with Valley Health System to meet their savings goals quickly and to provide them support and resources at every step of the sourcing and cost reduction process," said Chris Heckler, CEO and president of Valify.
