Partnership launched to provide video training
to hospitals in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria &
Switzerland
Sonic Foundry, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted global leader
for video creation and management solutions, today announced a
strategic partnership with Noordhoff Health, a business unit of
Noordhoff Publishers, to co-create innovative learning solutions to
more than 4,000 hospitals, care organizations and nursing schools
in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria &
Switzerland.
From taking a patient's blood pressure to practicing complex and
critical clinical procedures, healthcare providers are entering a
more demanding healthcare system that requires them to have a vast
amount of knowledge at their fingertips. Noordhoff Health provides
quality content, technology and services for practical training in
healthcare. The company’s strategy is to use Mediasite as the key
technology to develop, market and sell digital-education content on
topics most important to participating hospitals in a pre-produced
package of 100 training videos. Content will cover practical
training such as nursing, clinical compliance, safe use of medical
technology and more.
In addition to the pre-produced videos, Noordhoff Health also
plans to offer Mediasite Video Cloud to those same hospitals, and
nursing schools on a recurring subscription basis. Branding it
“Health Visuals,” hospitals will be able to produce and share their
own customized content using My Mediasite Desktop suite of
recording technologies. Select “Health Visuals” content will be
shared between hospitals via a secure sharing network.
“By providing the Mediasite video infrastructure in combination
with learning content from Noordhoff Health, we enable our partners
in the healthcare market to create a strong, fast growing
knowledgebase and network for health professionals,” said André
Matera, Director Noordhoff Health at Noordhoff Publishers BV.
“Noordhoff “Health Visuals” partnership with Mediasite gives our
hospital the advantage of creating short learning interventions
right in the work environment. This supports our professionals in
collecting the knowledge and experience needed to give the best
professional support to our patients. Just in time, just enough and
just easy! It’s already proven to be successful in our hospital,”
said Jelle Prins, Dean MCL Academy at The Medical Center
Leeuwarden.
“Noordhoff “Health Visuals” has given us access to an
'all-in-one' solution. Not only can we create, upload and
immediately share our own videos, we also have access to a secure
content from a network of trusted hospitals. By using Mediasite as
its video technology, we are able to customize the viewing
experience for our audience, track viewership and communicate more
effectively with patients,” said Jaco van der Worp, training
consultant at Landsteiner Institute.
Mediasite training is underway with Noordhoff Health sales and
marketing staff to bring this digital education offering to
hundreds of hospitals in Europe.
“We commend Noordhoff Health for removing content-creation
barriers, providing hundreds of hospitals basic digital training
for their staffs. Through our partnership they’ve also created a
unique online environment to create and share original training and
content, bringing larger audiences to complex procedures and new
medical discoveries,” said Gary Weis, chief executive officer of
Sonic Foundry. “We look forward to working with Noordhoff Health in
its quest to use video to positively impact the healthcare
industry.”
