Motivated to Innovate Healthcare

[Southlake Health @southlakehlth]

Since August 9, 100% of the patients admitted to our ICU with COVID-19 have been unvaccinated. Of those admitted to our medical units, all have been unvaccinated except one patient who was partially vaccinated.

Today we launched a mobile self check-in service for select Southlake appointments. Starting with our Hand Clinic, patients will have the opportunity to pre-register and check-in for appointments via an app on their phone. Additional clinics to come. https://t.co/sHFXpaOf6R

Are you following @Southlake_News #ProcurementPioneers series?

[Southlake Health @southlakehlth]

Once a #procurement model is chosen an EME strategy is created, laying out engagement with potential vendors. We chose 3 major items to include: memorandum of information, in-person education session & in-person market sounding session.#ProcurementPioneers https://t.co/M9aqPl3mbM

[Southlake Health @southlakehlth]

#ProcurementPioneers: @CAHOhospitals myth - health service providers are not allowed to talk to vendors during procurement.

Fact: Engagement is part of a successful process. Orgs can structure equitable and transparent sessions w/ vendors before & during #InnovationProcurement.

[Southlake Health @southlakehlth]

Once you choose #InnovationProcurement, which approach best suits your situation? The 6 models include: Request for Information, Request for Qualification, Request for Tender/Request for Quote, RFP, Negotiable RFP (best final offer) and Competitive Dialogue. #ProcurementPioneers

[Southlake Health @southlakehlth]

When Southlake procures based on @opengovon BPS Procurement Directive, we follow 5 key principles - accountability, transparency, value for money, quality service delivery and process standardization. Price is but one category assessed. #ProcurementPioneers #InnovationProcurement

Tyler Chalk shares a makeshift surge unit from @Southlake_News and the potential for how OHTs can help to end hallway medicine. @ONThealth #transformcare2019

A great event at @ventureLABca today celebrating #YRTech #MadeInYorkRegion

[Southlake Health @southlakehlth]

What do you value most? Your health? Family? Paycheque? When a hospital the size of Southlake procures for $25M worth of products/devices (like we did in 2016), we have to ask ourselves: what do we value? The answer is not a simple one. (1/3)

Let's talk #ProjectGovernance (PG) in #InnovationProcurement. PG lays out rules, responsibilities & timelines. It helped to structure our project, setting it up for success by adding professionalism and ensuring an open, fair & transparent process. #ProcurementPioneers

An exciting day ahead at #HealthTCon

[Southlake Health @southlakehlth]

Next up in #ProcurementPioneers: risk management. Trying something new involves risk. Prior to 2013, we did traditional procurement. The expected way. We knew how to do it & the liabilities. Enter: #InnovationProcurement. A new way of doing things, unknown, a new course! 1/3
