Wisconsin clinic creates over 1,200 videos for its online portal
Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted global leader for video
creation and management
solutions, today announced that Marshfield Clinic has recorded more
than 1,200 educational and training videos with Mediasite
for practicing and retired physicians, staff and allied health providers.
The Marshfield, Wis.-based clinic’s videos have been viewed 60,000 times
via a secure internal online video portal, including:
-
Grand rounds: Physicians conduct weekly grand rounds videos
that are webcast live to all staff and are also available on-demand.
The Grand Rounds program provides opportunities for physicians to
share successes and challenges, highlight important research and
answer questions from colleagues and staff.
-
Professional development: Physicians and visiting professors
give lectures to keep clinic physicians and staff up-to-date on the
latest medical news. Those presentations, as well as PowerPoint slides
and any supporting materials, are captured, shared and available for
review on-demand.
-
Staff training: Hundreds of staff members attend Marshfield
Clinic managers meetings but space is limited in the auditorium. Some
managers attend in person while others watch live via Mediasite.
Viewership is tracked with Mediasite’s
analytics.
-
Continuing medical education: Some Mediasite videos are open to
the public since retired physicians want continuing medical education
credits to keep licenses current.
“Mediasite is brutally easy for the audience and for those of us who do
the behind-the-scenes editing and cataloguing. And the videos look good.
It’s the best quality available,” said Richard Kenitzer, Televideo team
lead at Marshfield Clinic. “Before Mediasite we took a lot of time to do
this kind of recording. Now it’s recorded and instantly shared.
Mediasite has certainly been a time and cost saver. Having the ability
to record once and share many times saves people from doing
presentations over and over again.”
“Hundreds of medical organizations like Marshfield Clinic rely on
Mediasite to be at the heart of their education and training initiatives
because it enables them to deliver highly technical information easily,”
said Gary Weis, CEO of Sonic Foundry. “Video adds an important dimension
when dealing with complex information and sophisticated training, and
allows for better information retention and performance. It’s inspiring
to work with Marshfield Clinic to keep its staff up to date in this
ever-changing medical world.”
Trusted by educational and health care institutions, corporations and
government entities, the patented Mediasite video content management and
webcasting system quickly and cost-effectively automates the capture,
management, delivery and search of live and on-demand streaming videos
and rich media.
