Strategic Sourcing and Value Analysis at UTMB brings together spend management, enterprise integration, and supplier management to ensure the right products and services are available at the right value to support exceptional patient care. The program coordinates and governs the end‑to‑end process for obtaining supplies, services, and equipment in a fiscally responsible manner, aligning with UTMB’s mission, vision, and strategic goals.
Through rigorous spend analysis, business case development, and data‑ and evidence‑based decision making, the team partners with clinical and operational leaders to standardize products and processes, optimize contracts and pricing, and actively support UTMB strategy through strong value propositions. Category management and value analysis committees engage clinicians and stakeholders across the enterprise to evaluate new requests, reduce unwarranted variation, and ensure that sourcing decisions prioritize quality, safety, and clinical outcomes.
Supplier management activities focus on sourcing strategy, negotiating best value, and ongoing relationship and performance management, including KPI and outcome review. This integrated approach increases transparency, enhances reporting, and improves financial clarity across service lines so leaders can better understand utilization, productivity, and the true cost of care in perioperative and other key areas.
Overall, UTMB’s Strategic Sourcing and Value Analysis function is a multi‑factor decision‑making program designed to balance clinical outcomes, patient and staff safety, revenue enhancement, and cost stewardship - driving improved outcomes through clinical integration and high‑value supply chain management.
