An educational partnership with one of the
country's largest hospital group purchasing organization (GPO) promises
to take multimedia healthcare continuing education to a new level. In
April, Premier Inc., a GPO that represents about one-third of U.S. hospitals
entered a partnership agreement with GE TiP-TV and HealthGate that will
allow the three companies to develop and deliver high-caliber educational
programming to Premier's more than 1,800 member institutions and affiliated
hospitals.
With this agreement, subscribing Premier facilities
will have the opportunity to receive all TiP-TV satellite programming
as well as have access to HealthGate's Internet-based professional content.
The partnership is unprecedented in that it combines satellite broadcast
and Web-based programs to cover the diverse and ever- changing needs of
hospitals to provide targeted medical education for staff.
