Automating PowerPoint to expand healthcare education--a how-to guide.
Faced with the challenges of disseminating innovative healthcare practices to numerous clinics over a broad geographic region, we developed a cost-effective method of delivering in-service information using an automated multimedia show, in lieu of repeatedly deploying our limited staff to provide in-person presentations. This article details the hardware, software, and methods involved in producing this exportable product, which enabled us to maximize outreach education while working within the constraints of limited staffing, time, and fiscal resources.
