12. SAM Value Proposition Concept Sponsor a Cancer Centre ~ Institution ~ Renal Centre to membership with the committed ROI of allowing LEO access to the POS network -> and the predetermined partnership project of creating and disseminating Innohep protocols Sponsor an organization like CHEST and offer the opportunity for them to post updated guidelines (Dr. Bill Geertsor Dr. Mark Crowther may agree to spearhead this all in advance of the anticipated February 2012 new guideline release; and LEO could support the formation of their independent advisory council = arms length compass group Determine whether, through an unrestricted grant, access would be extended to LEO as an official business partner. HTX just entered this realm by providing $750 K for the purpose of integrating the current network with CPOE and EMR systems = Entry Point platform
