title: Using videoteleconferencing for continuing education and staff development programs.
abstract: In times of tight budgets for continuing nursing education and staff development, using live, interactive videoteleconferencing is one approach to maintaining the quality and viability of continuing education programs. Participation in professionally produced closed circuit, satellite, or cable broadcast continuing education programs can be the first step in that effort. Careful planning for and promotion of the use of such broadcasts may not only enhance a hospital's education programs and facilitate learning, but may also prove financially beneficial.
