BB - I have the same reservations re Pinpoint but they are already in > 400 hospitals through their partners. They should be able to tag team with the ISRG and Lifecell reps to make contact with decision-makers. It shouldn't be that difficult to get the attention of hospital admin with Firefly outcomes documented and hospital docs providing testimonials. PILLAR data should be ready by April 2013... that should provide the cost/payback timeline and give the reps some ammo.
From NVDQ's JMP conference presentation...
"In colorectal procedures early data shows reduction of necrosis from 15-25% down to 3-4% "
Not sure what percentage of readmissions are due to necrosis but colorectal seems to have a higher readmission rate than most....
