Keeping pace: video communications in a managed care environment. Interview by Thomas A. Rasmussen.
A number of health care provider organizations, particularly those with geographically dispersed personnel, are utilizing the video medium to improve organizational performance. The key attributes of the video medium are uniformity of education delivery to multiple sites, the ability to deliver information in a timely manner, the ability to visually portray best practices for all to see, and the convenience for end-users. While the executives interviewed for this article aren't aware of any published research specifically documenting the linkage between video education and improved organizational performance, the panelists believe that informed health care professionals inherently contribute to improved organizational performance and that video education is a prudent investment of resources.
