Ann: ST Vincent's Hospital Commences APAS Automated Evaluation, page-12

When I saw the chatter about “18 months – wow, that’s a way off”, I thought I might have misinterpreted the announcement with my earlier posting today I contacted LBT to see what the story was and was told this (the St V’s eval) is a milestone to prepare for and support sales commencing end of this year. The results from St V’s will be used with other eval sites support sales (starting with Aus at the end of 2017). The take home points I got were -
St V’s = first eval,
Places like St V’s builds awareness of the product and is seen to have the independence required for confidence building in the lead up to sales,
CCS will start additional evals over the next 18 months (this will be global, not Aus only), and
Evals are to support sales (start of sales is on track).

I think I got the right end of the stick in the first place but the phone call certainly helped to clear it up for me. In short, sales on track to start by end of 2017 in Aus. GLTA
