In an information-packed 90 minutes, which includes a 30-minute question and answer period, you will receive details on:
- How an Arizona organization is creating podcasts with broad, extensive appeal. The Arizona Heart Institute and Hospital’s library of more than 125 audio and video podcasts averages more than 25,000 downloads each month. You’ll learn how the initiative is reaching key consumers and referring physicians. You will also gain insight into podcasting’s use in educating elderly patients during office visits.
- What an Indiana system is doing to support patient education in a key service. Clarian Health Partners has made a significant investment in a program to support bariatric surgery patients with information about the procedure, including pre- and post-operative care. Patients also receive motivational messages and tips on grocery shopping and exercise. Clarian is looking to parlay its $120,000 investment in podcast equipment and technology to other services.
- Why a suburban New York City hospital introduced public service health information podcasts. The initiative, just introduced this summer, allows White Plains Hospital Center to showcase its expertise and medical staff and build relationships in a metropolitan market crowded with big-name hospitals.
