1. Need specifications and needs criteria Dr. Jagdish Chaturvedi Director, Clinical Innovations, InnAccel

2. Learning objective To understand the need for the following in your project 1.A well constructed need statement 2.A comprehensive need specification document 3.Specific needs criteria for the solution

4. What is the problem here?

5. A nurse is struggling to find a vein in a baby? A nurse is struggling to insert an IV cannula in a baby? There is a delay to restore lost fluid volume? Baby brought late because parents did not know something was wrong?

7. A nurse is struggling to find a vein in a baby?

8. A nurse is struggling to insert an IV cannula in a baby?

9. There is a delay to restore lost fluid volume?

10. So what is really the need?

11. A way to find veins in children who are in hypovolemic shock

12. A way to restore fluid volume and perfusion in children with hypovolemic shock

13. A measurable desired change to the problem in who, where and why A faster way to restore normal blood volume in infants who present in the ER of a tertiary medical center in order to prevent tissue damage and death

14. A measurable desired change to the problem in who, where and why A faster way to restore normal blood volume in infants who present in the ER of a tertiary medical center in order to prevent tissue damage and death

15. A measurable desired change to the problem in who, where and why A faster way to restore normal blood volume in infants who present in the ER of a tertiary medical center in order to prevent tissue damage and death

16. A measurable desired change to the problem in who, where and why A faster way to restore normal blood volume in infants who present in the ER of a tertiary medical center in order to prevent tissue damage and death

17. A measurable desired change to the problem in who, where and why A faster way to restore normal blood volume in infants who present in the ER of a tertiary medical center in order to prevent tissue damage and death

18. Create your need statement A measurable desired change to the problem in who, where and why

19. A need specification document Why do we need it?

20. Components of a need specification document Need statement The problem (a brief description of the problem) Disease state analysis Existing Solutions: Treatment options & Competitive Space Gap analysis Stakeholder analysis Market analysis Need criteria any solution must meet in order to satisfy the need - Must-haves - Nice-to have

21. Do you have the components of a need specification document? Is what you have sufficient?

22. What are needs criteria?

23. Must haves (measurable parameters) The solution Nice to have (measurable parameters) 1.Blood volume must return to normal within 2 hours of implementing the solution 2.Irreversible tissue damage to vital organs must not occur 3.Cost to the patient must be less than INR 200 4.Must be readily available at 80% of hospital ER’s at all times “A faster way to restore normal blood volume in infants who present in the ER of a tertiary medical center in order to prevent tissue damage and death” 1.Solution can be applicable to any age group 2.Reversible tissue damage to vital organs can be avoided 3.Cost to the patient can be less than INR 50

24. Must haves (measurable parameters) The solution Nice to have (measurable parameters)
