Proposed TPP Process Draft Development Feedback Round 1 Review of stakeholder needs Review of current and emerging products Initial draft developed and sent to suppliers as part of sourcing exercise Revise initial draft based upon sourcing exercises Feedback Round 1 Develop and test survey Survey of stakeholders Agreement will be scored on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 (1=disagree, 2=mostly disagree, 3=do not agree or disagree, 4=mostly agree, 5=fully agree). Consensus will be pre-specified at greater than 50% of respondents providing a score of at least 4 on the Likert scale. Refinement of TPP to address feedback Feedback Round 2 Survey of stakeholders Consensus will be pre-specified at greater than 50% of respondents providing a score of at least 4 on the Likert scale. Refinement of TPP to address feedback Agreement will be scored on a Likert scale ranging from 1 to 5 (1=disagree, 2=mostly disagree, 3=do not agree or disagree, 4=mostly agree, 5=fully agree). Consensus will be pre-specified at greater than 50% of respondents providing a score of at least 4 on the Likert scale. Consensus Potential meeting with a subset of stakeholders to resolve final issues Characteristics on which fewer than 75% of the respondents agreed, or on which a distinct subgroup disagrees, will be discussed during the consensus meeting. The final draft of the TPPs will be shared with the NEST STAG for final review and approval. Refine and publish finalized TPP
When the 100&Change initiative came out, we knew it was our chance together with Queen to make sure that clinicians in Africa have the tools they need to help save babies lives. Instead of waiting 110 years for newborns in Africa to have the same chance of survival as those in the US, $100M means the chance to solve this problem is within our grasp.
