Owens & Minor University AVHAP
Examples of the CHVAP Examination Program Course
Summary
The AVHAP (Advanced Healthcare Value Analysis Program) course at Owens & Minor University equips healthcare administrators and value analysis practitioners with the tools and mindset needed to use a patient-centered value analysis process to evaluate clinical products, services, and technologies. Value analysis is a systematic, evidence-based methodology used across healthcare systems to ensure that decisions about purchasing and adoption are not only cost-effective, but also supportive of high-quality patient care and safety.
The program teaches learners how to define problems, gather and interpret data, engage stakeholders across disciplines, and make outcome-driven product decisions. By weaving patient outcomes into every step of the value analysis process, the training helps participants balance clinical efficacy, safety, and financial impact — all while navigating complex healthcare environments.
AVHAP targets professionals responsible for leading or contributing to value analysis initiatives, including administrators, clinicians, supply chain leaders, and quality specialists. The instructional design demanded careful visual communication to simplify nuanced process flows, data interpretation, and decision frameworks.
Solution
To address the dual challenges of complex subject matter and diverse learner backgrounds, the course solution fused intuitive UI design, purpose-built graphics, and strategic animatics that illustrated core value analysis concepts visually rather than through dense text alone. Animated sequences demonstrated workflows and decision logic, helping learners see why certain steps matter instead of just what they are.
Content modules were structured logically from defining patient-centered value analysis through practical evaluation steps, emphasizing real-world application. Graphics and interaction patterns reinforced key terms and guided learners through evidence evaluation, committee roles, and outcome measurement — essential components of effective value analysis frameworks.
The course also leveraged best practices in e-learning navigation and feedback loops, making it both approachable for beginners and useful as a reference for experienced practitioners.
My Role
On this project, I served as the creative director and lead developer for the AVHAP course. My responsibilities included:
Designing the UI/UX look and feel to provide a consistent and accessible learner journey
Creating content graphics that clarified multidimensional concepts such as evidence evaluation, stakeholder alignment, and outcome metrics
Producing animatics to show process flows, decision frameworks, and patient-centered evaluation logic
Programming the course in Articulate Storyline (Articulate 360), building interactions, assessments, and navigation logic that made the content engaging and intuitive
I collaborated with subject matter leads to ensure that visuals accurately supported the instructional intent, striking a balance between rigor and usability. In other words, I helped turn something that could have felt like a spreadsheet masquerading as a course into a learning experience people actually want to click through.
