Health care is complicated. As a value analysis professional, you balance provider preferences and financial considerations when evaluating supply chain options. Your job is to help provide the best care possible by making sure facilities have the best tools available.
It can be hard to balance practitioner relations and financial constraints. It’s not just about finding the cheapest supplies. You need to make sure every consumable your team uses helps deliver an outstanding patient experience. To do that consistently, you need all your facilities to use the same tools and follow the same processes. You need physicians, nurses and admissions professionals to be on the same page.
Partners in Exceptional Care
At Caresfield, we work with a purpose. Our goal is to provide outstanding products at a reasonable price to help you deliver exceptional patients care. We have a long history of helping our clients solve problems. Some of our solutions include:
- Custom labels designed to withstand alcohol, xylene and extreme conditions
- Brightly-colored tourniquets which help prevent leave-on accidents
- Flood-coated alcohol-resistant labels for pharmacy
- Non-latex cohesive bandages for sensitive skin
- Printer Care Program to keep technology from limiting wristband solutions
Our commitment to providing exceptional service carries over to our work with other manufacturers. Our product sourcing team finds solutions that focus on patient comfort. We teamed up with Suremark to offer skin markers with non-adhesive centers for nipple markers. For patients with sensitive skin, we also offer the SensaBand™, the world’s most comfortable wristband.
When the right product doesn’t exist, we create it. Just like the multi-textured Versaquet™, which gives providers a choice of smooth or textured surfaces based on each patient’s needs.
These innovations help your providers excel at their jobs. They also help prevent costly mistakes, like losing or misidentifying samples or having to re-draw patients.
Overcoming Complicated Conversions
Your value analysis team is inundated with supply options. As your partners, we want to make it easy to keep supplies in stock with high-quality, patient-centered products. When considering any of thousands of SKUs available for wristband and label options, we have experience and tips to provide a stress-free conversion.
We’ve supplied healthcare facilities labels and patient ID solutions for more than 30 years. We have national contracts with GPOs who vetted us as a quality supplier. Whether you are looking at options for acute or long-term facilities, our team will ensure you have the right tools to deliver exceptional care. We offer:
- Same-day shipments on thousands of stocked labels
- Ability to quickly customize labels from our U.S. manufacturing facility
- Free samples for testing
Once your providers have tried our products to verify their quality, your conversion can be completed in as little as three weeks.

According to Definitive Healthcare, supply chain spending accounts for nearly one-third of total operating expenses at U.S. hospitals. By using the purchasing power of your GPO, your value analysis team can simplify your overall number of vendors. This provides hard savings on materials and decreases labor time spent ordering supplies.
Once you have the supplies, you need to make sure they are being used at all your facilities. An article from OR Management News shares how surgeon feedback saved a hospital over $2 million. Involving your physicians, nurses and admissions staff early in the process helps ensure supplies help improve patient care.
By taking the stress out of ordering labels and patient ID materials, you are capturing an easy win. You’re cutting inefficiencies and using the bulk purchasing power of your GPO to find cost savings.
By starting small, you show the care team that the organization prioritized its financial health with sound financial decision-making. This helps promote buy-in from practitioners and gives you added resources to use across the organization.
