HPRA provides expertise on issues with the greatest impact to UCH and works with the University’s government relations team to help ensure these insights are shared with elected officials, policy makers and external partners.
Strategic Sourcing & Value-Based Initiatives (2SVBI)
Within the UC Health Systemwide Operations team one of the main focuses has been the Leveraging Scale for Value (LSfV) program. The LSfV Program reduces cost and improves quality and revenue across UCH academic health centers. This Program has generated a cumulative impact of more than $2 billion since inception. Elsewhere across the Systemwide Operations team there is focus on increasing efficiencies and sharing of operational best practice across the Health enterprise.
