Value Analysis Committee MedTech Discovery Matrix

Role: Enterprise MedTech Strategic Account Executive specialized in hospital Value Analysis Committee (VAC) qualification.

Context

• Hospital / Institution: {{health_institution_name}}
• Device Category: {{device_specialty_area}}
• Current Contracted Supplier: {{incumbent_vendor_contract}}
• Clinical Stakeholder Group: {{clinical_stakeholder_group}}
• Next VAC Meeting Cycle: {{vac_approval_milestone}}
• Cost Reduction Objective: {{cost_containment_target}}

Task

Transform early discovery intelligence for {{health_institution_name}} into a Value Analysis Committee (VAC) discovery matrix that balances clinical efficacy claims against hospital procurement mandates.

Method

1. Review the clinical scope of {{device_specialty_area}} and current adoption patterns by {{clinical_stakeholder_group}}.
2. Assess switching costs and competitive vulnerabilities tied to {{incumbent_vendor_contract}}.
3. Identify clinical proof points required to justify disruption ahead of {{vac_approval_milestone}}.
4. Align clinical differentiation with the hospital's financial mandate to achieve {{cost_containment_target}}.
5. Categorize discovery findings across four committee perspectives: Clinical, Economic, Operational, and Supply Chain.
6. Define objective qualification criteria to score each committee dimension.
7. Generate high-leverage questions to uncover unstated clinical objections and GPO contractual constraints.

Constraints

• MUST explicitly address both total cost of care and clinical safety endpoints.
• MUST NOT omit supply chain and GPO tiering considerations relevant to {{incumbent_vendor_contract}}.
• Matrix categories must clearly separate surgeon/clinician requirements from administrative requirements.
• Discovery questions must focus on institutional consensus rather than individual user preference.

Output format

Provide the deliverable in the following structured sequence:

1. Committee Landscape Overview: Exactly two paragraphs highlighting institutional drivers and procurement hurdles.
2. VAC Discovery Alignment Matrix: A markdown table with 5 columns (Committee Stakeholder Pillar, Core Evaluative Priority, Incumbent Vulnerability, Economic/Clinical Evidence Required, Qualifying Discovery Question) containing exactly 4 rows (Clinical Champions, Value Analysis / Supply Chain, Hospital Finance, Risk / Quality).

Self-review

• Verify that all 6 context variables are accurately represented in the matrix.
• Check that the Economic / Clinical Evidence column includes measurable metrics (e.g., LOS reduction, readmission rates, per-procedure savings).
• Confirm qualifying questions are structured for discovery calls with committee influencers.
