happy to be wrong on this one... the initial roll out estimate was staggered towards the last half or so of the contract as patients had to enrol etc creating a smaller user group in the first quarter leading to more and more people added along the way until they ended up using all the licenses. Hopefully that makes sense. However... the uptake is considerably ahead of the estimated user numbers for the first quarter, pretty sure this has only just ticked over 2.5 months/10 weeks? Someone (Vintage, Shodd, Phantom etc) please confirm the start date? So the initial 1600 (possibly 1500?) licenses will be in use by the 3rd quarter of the extension if the uptake continues its current velocity. What happens then? Clearly people like the platform/device so it would stand to reason to believe that more people will want to use it thus increasing the rate of users as the year goes by... maybe they will hit the 1500/1600 before the end of the third quarter of the contract? Then what?
I would love to get some feedback from Phantom on this one but apparently JHC are behind in the delivery of devices as they are signing people onto the HeraCARE platform BEFORE needing the device..... i.e as soon as the mum to be rocks up and books the delivery date etc they are given access to HeraCARE and advised that they will need to start using the device in week 16 or whatever it is... so for a month or more they are adding to their own data set on the HeraCARE platform with weight, bp, blood sugar etc and the platform is starting to be able to detect signs of preeclampsia etc... massive bit of info there... Lucretious, you're from round those parts.. maybe book yourself in for pregnancy and see what happens? Someone please substantiate the bit about HeraCARE's early use in JHC patients as that sounds game changing and is just from a conversation that I had this morning with the HMD people, NOT from the hospital so it's a claim not a fact. Don't hold me to that one!
I also read the 7500 births number as a cumulative number, not as a per year figure. However if it is cranking along then surely it adds weight to the use case of HeraCARE rolling out to more RHC sites?
Dunno guys... looks like things might just work out on this one. Mednax extended faster than was expected, Sheba took HeraCARE to a war zone, JHC is putting patients on it BEFORE what it says on the box....
if someone feels like making a passionate rebuttal TCG, Geffa etc please do so AFTER a sufficient amount of Cabernet has been consumed! maybe we should a Cabernet and HMD thread somewhere on here...
Vintage, you're there details guy.. I would love you to fact check my drivel on this one.. I think I have the numbers right?
