Overview/Abstract: Perioperative leaders are uniquely positioned to influence both clinical outcomes and financial sustainability across the surgical continuum. As technology evolves and costs rise, balancing innovation with value-driven decision-making has never been more important. This session will introduce participants to advanced healthcare value analysis (VA) principles as a strategic framework for evaluating products, services, and processes in perioperative and ambulatory surgery settings. Attendees will learn practical approaches for aligning purchasing and utilization decisions with evidence-based standards, regulatory requirements, and organizational goals. Through real-world examples, the session will highlight how to engage interdisciplinary teams, leverage data to support clinical and financial outcomes, and sustain value beyond the operating room. Participants will leave with actionable strategies to enhance patient care, optimize resources, and strengthen their role as leaders driving value across the perioperative continuum.
