Nonprofit public interest law
firm, Advocacy & Benefits Counseling for Health, Inc., creates online,
YouTube-style video hub about government health programs
MADISON, Wis. — December 16, 2013 — With coverage in
the Health Insurance Marketplace set to begin Jan. 1 under the Affordable Care
Act and open enrollment closing in March, the Madison, Wis. Public interest law
firm Advocacy & Benefits Counseling for Health, Inc. (ABC for Health) is
helping Wisconsin families navigate the changing health care system with
informational webcasts for advocates recorded via Mediasite by Sonic Foundry,
Inc. (NASDAQ: SOFO), the trusted leader for video content management and webcasting solutions.
“Policies and programs change constantly in the
health care world. We can instantly do trainings and answer important questions
in real-time with Mediasite using our HealthWatch Wisconsin training hub of
on-demand webcast presentations,” said Bobby Peterson, founder and president of
ABC for Health.
The membership-based ‘HealthWatch Wisconsin Teaching
& Training Portal’ program provides training and information on public and
private health insurance programs and health reform. HealthWatch Wisconsin Members
— representatives from hospitals and clinics; parents; birth-to-3 coordinators;
economic support workers; school nurses and counselors; advocates; employers
and members of the faith community — complete a self-assessment, select the
type of information they’re looking for, view training modules via Mediasite
and then take a post-assessment about what they learned.
Mediasite makes reaching thousands of members across
Wisconsin easy and affordable. Peterson and his team use an in-house studio to
record weekly live and on-demand webcasts to enhance their established
in-person educational offerings, reducing travel costs and meeting the growing
demand for online health care training events. HealthWatch Wisconsin has
created nearly 300 presentations using Mediasite technology.
“Mediasite provides tremendous flexibility and it exponentially
expands our audience and allows us to efficiently teach and train Wisconsin advocates
that serve families,” Peterson said, adding that the next step is to implement
a pay-per-view model to generate revenue with the webcasts.
The organization has a satellite office in rural
Northwest Wisconsin that will use the new Mediasite Desktop Recorder in My
Mediasite to
record, upload, manage and publish videos anywhere using a laptop’s built-in
camera. Because the tool is backed by Mediasite
