• Lead Product and Equipment Standardization initiatives by researching best clinical practice through interview with clinical specialists, product content experts from the Health Device Manufacturing industry, leveraging international expertise within a clinical specialty, literature reviews and building consensus amongst HA clinical stakeholders. This may involve the facilitation of sessions to build standardized care delivery protocols or common patient care outcome standards through the contribution of provincial clinical specialists.
• Lead product evaluation projects by researching/identifying the required clinical outcomes required by the HA\xe2\x80\x99s, associated with the utilization of the products or equipment to be acquired through the procurement initiative. This may require the identification and creation of a clinical outcome baseline, product performance expectations, and a process for capturing and reporting actual performance. The performance expectations then must be translated into product standards and specification. These efforts will not be performed in isolation as they will require the Advisor to build stakeholder engagement and consensus within a timeline to support a strategic sourcing strategy.

This will require the identification and tracking of the project timeline and project costs and may require the formation of the project budget.

This will require a thorough understanding of the integration of the supply acquisition process, the care delivery process and the product sterilization process. This may require the creation of performance metrics, developing a performance baseline, and developing data capture protocols and reporting techniques.
• Lead projects related to quality assurance as it related to the delivery of products and their relationship with the delivery of care.
• Lead the investigation and resolution of projects related to issues/concerns associated with the optimal use of and the optimization of product utilization during the life cycle of a contract by identifying the issues associated with a product complaint, identifying the resolution as a product expert or calling upon a team member who is a category expert; developing the implementation plan to support the resolution; performing the quality assurance function to ensure that the resolution has been achieved and the resolution is sustainable.
