3 Change is Necessary to Our Environment Ontario s health care system is facing significant challenges over the next few years Fiscal Challenge Historic levels of investment growth are not seen to be sustainable Demographic Challenge The cost of care for a senior is 3x higher than for the average person Changing demographics will result in a higher cost to the system Complex Health Challenge A small number of pa>ents use a dispropor>onate amount of resources Making becer use of our health care resources so people get the most appropriate care Unhealthy Lifestyle Challenge Unhealthy ea>ng, lack of ac>vity and smoking levels may lead to increased chronic disease 3
4 Ontario s Ac$on Plan What We ve Already Achieved Over the past two years of transforma;on, we have achieved significant milestones in several key areas. Achieving these while reducing our growth from 6% to 3% has been challenging. Looking forward, we need to learn from the road bumps that we ve encountered and con;nue down the path to transforma;on. 2012: Start of Transforma$on Journey Historic 6% growth Totalling over 40% of provincial budget Community Capacity Expanded home and community care Improving Access Primary Care Reform Health Promo$on Healthy Kids Strategy Smoke Free Ontario Health Human Resources Expanded Scope of Prac>ce Improving Quality Implemen>ng the Excellent Care for All Act Fairer Funding Labour Agreements Quality Based Procedures Drug costs Integra$on 67 Health Links Complex Con>nuing Care Models Fully Implemented Transforma$on Holding at 2% growth per year 4

6 Bridging To The Next Phase of Transforma$on While progress has been made, there is much more to do. We are deepening our efforts in certain areas to drive results.

Con>nue to evaluate the way we think of and deliver services. Maintaining system growth at 2% requires innova>ve approaches to delivery and a relentless focus on value for money. 6
7 Sector Leadership and Excellence are Cri$cal To bridge from pockets of excellence, a variety of efforts is needed to support greater spread, including: System supports for development and adop>on of innova>on Improved procurement to enhance recogni>on and uptake of promising technologies Meaningful pa7ent engagement to co- design transforma>on Scale up ini7a7ves where investments have shown results Deepen funding reform and review benefits Manage pace of change by ensuring change supports are in place Leverage champions from the sector Posi7on strong leaders at the forefront who can deliver on the vision 7

25 Healthcare Supply Chain Network Conference May 12, 2015 Procuring for Innovative Solutions Marian Macdonald Assistant Deputy Minister Supply Chain Ontario Ministry of Government and Consumer Services 25
26 Supply Chain Ontario /14 $5.99 billion annual government procurement spend 1,424 annual ministry procurements over 66 enterprise VOR arrangements valued at $538 million 89% of spend is with vendors located in Ontario 386 hospital sector shared service organizations approx. 53K vendors each year 9 1 education/higher learning sector purchasing collaborative BPS entities have or are participating in supply chain or back office initiatives 26
27 Commitment to Continuous Improvement SCO has leveraged Lean methodologies to launch process improvement projects over the past 4 years, driving the following benefits to both buyers and vendors: Reducing the time to procure through simplified processes and increased use of technology Building organizational capacity including technical and commodity expertise by streamlining business processes Enhancing service through improved responsiveness and increased consultations with the vendor community Introduction of Request for Bids template with simplified layout and plain language Enhanced vendor performance management strategy Projects to address sourcing difficulties in business sectors such as medical and consulting industries Forms-based evaluations reducing evaluation time to days rather than weeks 27
28 Innovation Procurement Initiative Ministry of Government and Consumer Services (MGCS) has developed an Innovation Procurement Initiative that aims to enable and foster innovation in Ontario. Builds on procurement best practices of other jurisdictions Aligns with other innovation initiatives across Ontario Addresses challenges and creates opportunities Leverages the OntarioBuys program 28
29 Current Innovation Landscape R&D (pre-commercial development) Commercialization Adoption Product idea Solution design Prototype First test products Commercial end products Valley of death: Gap between development and commercial sales. Many products and companies fail at the demonstration and scale up stage Public and private support typically end at the first test product stage Generally, this is where Ontario BPS procurement activities start and suppliers push products to BPS 29
30 Current Gaps in Innovation Procurement R&D (pre-commercial development) Commercialization Adoption Product idea Solution design Prototype First test products Commercial end products 1. Capacity in creating problem statement/identification of needs 2. Buyers/end-users not engaging the market early enough 3. Enhance existing procurement practices: a) Entry points to engagement b) Creating RFPs open for innovation 4. Capacity for change management 5. Understanding of different procurement models 6. Complex innovation ecosystem navigation 7. Data availability and measuring of success 8. Disseminating and replicating success stories 9. Assessment models misalignment 30
31 Ontario Innovation Procurement Strategy Aligning MGCS efforts with relevant ministries Focusing first on health innovation Identifying policy barriers to innovation Providing guidance on early market engagement and using innovation procurement models Advancing leadership s ability to drive innovation through educating, connecting, and advocating Increasing procurement competency through training and tools Creating a strategic portfolio of demonstrational projects to assess innovation procurement models by leveraging the existing OntarioBuys funding program Engaging key thought leaders to help inform the vision for a long term sustainable model 31
32 OHIC Recommendations 1. Establish an Office of the Chief Health Innovation Strategist 2. Appoint Innovation Brokers to Connect Innovators with Resources 3. Invest in Made-in-Ontario Technologies 4. Accelerate the Shift to Strategic, Value-Based Procurement 5. Create Incentives and Remove Barriers to Innovation 6. Optimize the Pathways to Adoption and Diffusion of Innovation 32
33 OHIC Report Procurement Recommendation #4 Accelerate the Shift to Strategic, Value-Based Procurement, providing innovative solutions that address health system priorities and population needs: Where we are: Fragmented system with few large joint purchasing organizations, many smaller ones Lack of clarity on opportunities, needs and priorities for procurement in the health sector Procurement regarded as an administrative service helping organizations meeting day-today requirements Where we re going (future state): Health system more integrated, fewer procurement organizations, more smaller organizations participating in GPOs & SSOs Early engagement between OCHIS and key stakeholders, to identify opportunities, needs and priorities OCHIS to work with ministries, the health sector and key stakeholders to leverage procurement to solve problems/create value Current system provides limited opportunities for Ontario-based innovators to test new products, sell to early adopters, broadly diffuse innovations Limited number of specialized procurement/ clinical staff involved in health system procurement organizations OCHIS, brokers, stakeholders to provide opportunities to test new products, sell to early adopters and broadly diffuse innovations through clearly defined processes Ministries to work with health system partners to ensure more organizations have access to specialized staff 33
34 Activities Under Way We are working with a number of key organizations to further advance innovation procurement within the BPS by: Increasing the strategic procurement capacity through tools and training Funding demonstration projects to evaluate early engagement models and identify barriers to innovation Creating an assessment tool for healthcare organizations that can be used to determine their readiness to implement innovation projects Hosting partnering forums with key stakeholders to identify public healthcare sector needs and joint solutions Hosting Bootcamps to identify common challenges and developing strategies to engage the vendor community to drive solutions Creating and disseminating innovation adoption case studies based on existing health innovation projects 34
35 Anticipated Outcomes Leadership ability to drive innovation Strategic procurement skills Opportunities for economic development 35
