This facilitated session will focus on the pain points and roadblocks faced during the unprecedented healthcare environment of 2020 from the value analysis and supplier attendee perspectives.  A variety of emerging topics will be explored such as key signals that helped identify when actions had to occur, discovery of new internal and external go-to resources, staff and physician willingness to adapt and change to new product introduction and other on-going value analysis pain points and emerging practices.
