Reduce the waste created by inaccurate preference cards

Current-state reality

Reduce the waste created by inaccurate preference cards

When preference card data is wrong, the impact reaches far beyond documentation. Inaccurate cards delay procedures, increase waste, complicate room setup and pull clinical attention away from patient care. Vizient helps organizations address the operational drag that starts with card quality.

Move from sporadic cleanup into continuous improvement

Technology plus expertise

Move from sporadic cleanup into continuous improvement

Vizient’s software continuously monitors preference card quality, generates actionable guidance and identifies savings opportunities. Paired with expert support, that helps providers replace ad hoc cleanup with a more disciplined model. The process becomes more proactive, consistent, and durable.

Improve efficiency while reducing variation

Operational impact

Improve efficiency while reducing variation

Stronger preference card management supports fewer wasted supplies, fewer delays, better billing accuracy, and greater standardization across procedures. That creates operational efficiencies and helps clinicians focus on care delivery. It turns a frustrating operational task into a real performance lever.

Sustain preference card quality

Unite software and expert support to sustain card quality and eliminate reactive cleanup cycles.

Our software continuously monitors preference card quality and surfaces actionable guidance. This real-time oversight enables your teams to address issues proactively rather than discovering problems during procedures.

We support your organization through comprehensive assessment, strategic design, effective deployment, and long-term sustainment. This end-to-end approach ensures you build lasting capabilities rather than relying on technology alone.

Better card quality directly reduces wasted supplies and eliminates room setup delays. Our approach connects card accuracy to tangible operational efficiency, creating measurable financial and clinical value.

Cleaner preference cards create more accurate documentation, which strengthens billing reliability. This connection between card quality and revenue cycle performance delivers financial value beyond supply cost reduction.

Our platform identifies opportunities to standardize preference cards across similar procedures. This evidence-based approach reduces unwarranted clinical variation while respecting legitimate differences in practice.

We design your program to sustain results over time rather than fade after initial implementation. This long-term focus ensures continuous improvement becomes embedded in your operations, not dependent on one-time cleanup efforts.
