Title
Innovation Procurement: CPD Program and Knowledge Translation
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
The Innovation Procurement program was an accredited blended learning opportunity organized by the Queen's Professional Development Office in partnership with the Kingston Health Sciences Centre. The goal of the collaboration was to develop the innovation procurement strategies of practitioner-decision makers in units of KHSC to procure high-efficacy solutions addressing healthcare challenges such as COPD, diabetes, opioid dependence, and cancer care.
Summary of the Innovation
A needs assessment was conducted to establish the educational needs of physicians, allied healthcare professionals and healthcare administrators involved in innovation procurement strategies (IPS). The needs assessment featured two stages: (i) a systematic review of grey literature, and (ii) semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals, Ontario health agencies, and procurement centres with varying IPS experience. The accredited educational program included an online foundational module and a one-day, face-to-face workshop for healthcare professionals and administrators. A mixed-method evaluation of the educational program revealed that the vast majority of participants believed that the online module and face-to-face workshop were effective educational initiatives that both improved IPS knowledge and was immediately useful to them in their current work environments.
Conclusion
Recommendations for improvement centered on increasing the time spent on interactive activities, simplifying the case studies, better connecting each section of the workshop, and providing cases prior to the workshop. This program was found to increase physician and leader capacity to effectively define problems as well as ask the right questions leading to more efficacious solutions enhancing patient-centred care.
