User Friendly Economic Sales Tools

Many Companies can face difficulties in getting their innovation ordered by the Hospital. Typically a meeting with an interested Surgeon is just the start - the request for purchase then needs to be passed up the line, and if the business case is not good enough then there is little chance of it moving any further. Michael Branagan-Harris says;

“I realised early on that if you don’t know how much the reimbursement is for a procedure then how can you try and sell your device for the appropriate price! - I learned about the importance of understanding HRG’s and this enabled me to be able to negotiate at a much higher level for faster market adoption helping Surgeons along the way to get what they want faster.

Device Access develops easy to use sales tools, which enables their clients to go into a hospital with sales representative friendly input colour coded models. These models have simple to follow drop down menu’s showing the local Market Forces Factor value, actual number of procedures performed in the past 12 months, average length of stay and so on.

This client bespoke information is NHS Sourced and has helped demonstrate clear and accurate information to the NHS Hospital budget & key Stakeholders that ultimately strengthens the business case for the adoption of their innovation”
