BroadcastMed Increases Online Medical Video Viewership to Never-Before-Seen Levels
WEST HARTFORD, CT–(Marketwire – September 27, 2010) – ORLive, a leading provider of online video to the healthcare market, announces the formation of BroadcastMed, to address the growing demand for online video solutions.
BroadcastMed is a response to the changes in the market that extend far beyond the traditional ORLive solutions of live programming from the Operating Room. “Our company long ago accomplished the mission implied by the name ORLive. We literally have taken physicians and other healthcare professionals ‘Live to the OR,'” says Ross Joel, CEO of BroadcastMed. “As a rapidly increasing number of healthcare professionals turn to online resources for education and research, we have a growing audience and clients who have interests that stretch well beyond surgery to all medical disciplines. BroadcastMed meets those diverse needs with strategic consulting, program development, and audience generation solutions.”
BroadcastMed communicates, demonstrates and educates through websites such as ORLive.com and The Virtual Brain Tumor Board. Where ORLive.com will continue to bring the most relevant surgically-focused content to an ever growing online audience, look for a soon to be launched site for CME focused video on BroadcastMedCME.com, a site dedicated to providing access to online accredited continuing medical education.
The formation of BroadcastMed marks a new milestone for the 16 year old company, enabling new growth opportunities. “While our increasing strength and diversity make BroadcastMed the cornerstone of our branding worldwide, given the significance of our flagship web brand, ORLive, its structure, focus and name will remain unchanged,” says Peter Gailey, President of BroadcastMed. Gailey also says, “This is a very exciting time in the market and we see this as a step towards providing doctors, nurses and other clinicians with high quality and relevant online content via a trusted source.”
