| description | OBJECTIVES/GOALS: The primarygoal is to understand the challenges and barriers associated with the procurement of innovative technologies.Specifically, our research will answer the following question: what are the minimal requirements for a startup’s solution to beprocuredby anOntariohealthcare institution? METHODS/STUDY POPULATION: Participants will include procurement professionals at startups, healthcare institutions, and procurement facilitating agencies. Semi-structured interviews will be conducted in order to understand different procurement pathways and the possible procurement related gaps or barriers that startups face. Through qualitative ethnographic methods, participant interviews will characterize existing relationships and examine the rationale behind startup procurement decision-making. Data collection will include recordings, verbatim transcripts, and researcher field notes. Through inductive qualitative analysis, the data will be examined to build an intervention to assist in startup procurement. RESULTS/ANTICIPATED RESULTS: Our investigation will yield insight into expectations between hospital procurement requirements and startup procurement. The qualitative analysis will identify targets for engagement, and appropriate actors that can bridge gaps. Our results will identify pathways for procurement and the minimal procurement requirements to aid startup procurement planning. Our research will support innovators by delivering an intervention that will enable easier implementation of market ready solutions in a Canadian context. In line with principles from the National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences, this research can be used towards enhancing efficiency, speed of translation, and innovation. DISCUSSION/SIGNIFICANCE: We will contextualize the needs of start-ups and empower them to understand their procurement ecosystem. Facilitating better navigation of the procurement space allows for innovators to present solutions that healthcare organizations can adopt, resulting in improved clinical and patient outcomes. |
