Abstract
Physician preference items or PPIs are medical items recommended by physicians for use in medical procedures and other treatments. The recommendation of PPIs by individual physicians can cause the variety of item types that need to be managed within a health care supply chain to increase over time. To better manage the PPI selection process, healthcare organizations often select items through value analysis and discussion teams, which are highly subjective. To better control PPIs, this work uses multiple-objective decision analysis (MODA) to develop a structured quantitative framework for the PPI selection process. The established decision-making framework is based on the theory of multi-objective value analysis. It offers a structured and educated guide to decision-makers for improving value analysis outcomes, advocating sustainable healthcare management strategies. The model was tested and validated through two case studies on two different items in two hospitals in Jordan.
