The World Health Innovation Network at the Odette School of Business has received a $2.7-million grant from the province.

Funding of $2.7 million over 3 years will enable them to carry out a research project titled “Innovation Procurement Initiative Measures and Case Studies” with key partners across the Ontario health sector.

“This funding will support WIN to examine procurement from multiple perspectives that will identify key enablers and barriers to procurement of innovative new technologies that offer the opportunity for transformational change across the Ontario health care system,” says Dr. Anne Snowdon, Chair of WIN. “Creating a successful procurement model will ensure a thriving health economy resulting in sustainability of our health sector and continuously improved patient care.”

WIN researchers will create a series of in-depth case studies using key performance indicators and a measurement framework to identify evidence of successful innovation procurement, documenting the impact of innovation adoption processes in up to 25 projects. These case studies will identify barriers and enablers to embedding and scaling health innovation and will be used as education tools for industry, the health sector, and government.
