When the spread of H1N1 flu accelerated this fall, the Wisconsin Department of Health Services needed to get more information to more people more quickly than ever before. Join Sonic Foundry, Inc. (Nasdaq: SOFO), the recognized market leader for rich media webcasting and knowledge management, for a live webinar in which Matt Duffy from the Wisconsin Department of Health Services, will share how in-house webcasting relieved fiscal pressures and made it easier to present increasingly complex data.
WHEN: Tuesday, December 8th, 2:00 - 2:30 p.m. CST

Duffy's introduction of webcasting to the State of Wisconsin Health Officer resulted in now weekly briefings via live webcast to more than 500 local public health staffers, health care workers and first responders (police and fire). And as the flu makes a comeback in the U.S., the weekly H1N1 briefing has now become the most viewed on-demand webcast the state produces.
Duffy will discuss how to:
- Leverage streaming audio, video and visual aids via Mediasite to present more detailed health information
- Save money using webcasting for live public health briefings
- Increase both access and retention through on-demand webcasts and closed captioning
- Build partnerships quickly between IT professionals, communication staff and subject matter experts
- Overcome perceived barriers to online briefings, including security, bandwidth, downloads and camera-shy presenters
- Generate early successes that get the right kind of attention from agency leadership
- Evaluate the impact of webcasting on public health communication and education goals
