Abstract
This study compares standard procurement methodology (SPM) with total cost of ownership (TCO) methodology for the procurement of orthopaedic-powered instruments. The authors conducted semi-structured standardized interviews with key hospital procurement stakeholders following consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research. Of the 33 hospital procurement stakeholders interviewed, all (100%) reported that SPM would be easier to use than TCO. However, only six (18%) preferred SPM over TCO. Barriers to the adoption of TCO emerged as a theme. Creating TCO frameworks can help to simplify the process for procurement agents and facilitate its adoption in the healthcare sector.

Governing boards of healthcare organizations in Canada are accountable for the performance of their organization and provide oversight on their decisions. Traditionally, many healthcare boards have focused on finances and community relations and have deferred responsibility for quality of care.
