NorthPoint Domain's Clinical Education Content Featured in Laptop LearningTM Intranet at VIVATM 08 Symposium for Vascular Medicine
Boston, MA - (September 3, 2008) NorthPoint Domain, an IC Sciences company, and VIVA Physicians Inc. announced today that NorthPoint Domain's Patient Literacy Center content will serve as an important part of the state-of-the-art VIVA Laptop LearningTM Education System at the sixth annual Vascular Interventional Advances (VIVA) Educational Symposium. VIVA 08 is being held in Las Vegas, NV on September 23-26, 2008.
"We're very proud to participate in VIVA's unique, state-of-the-art approach to physician education," said Rony Sellam, Group President and COO of NorthPoint Domain. "VIVA has developed and implemented their powerful meeting intranet system to deliver customized, interactive information in real time to educate a diverse multi-disciplinary physician audience. That closely parallels NorthPoint Domain's approach of enabling our physician clients to use interactive web-based Informatics Instruments to deliver credible, individually tailored information to each patient at specific touch points throughout the continuum of care."
According to Gary Ansel, MD, Immediate Past President of VIVA, "NorthPoint Domain shares VIVA's commitment to improving the quality of care with excellent content delivered via unique and powerful technology solutions. We both recognize that a 'one-size-fits-all' approach doesn't work, whether it is training a diverse group of physicians or helping individual patients understand their clinical situation. VIVA's Laptop LearningTM and NorthPoint Domain's e-Packets Informatics Instruments apply similar principles to help each individual learn what he or she specifically needs to deliver better care or to be a better patient."
Selections from NorthPoint Domain's patient information library of clinical topics in Vascular Medicine, Cardiology, and Neuroscience provide core education on disease conditions, diagnostic tests, treatment procedures and risk factor management to VIVATM 08 participants. Laptop LearningTM is VIVA's state-of-the art educational system that uses an innovative intranet platform to integrate a variety of media into a learning program customizable by participants for their unique needs. Specialty physician groups in Cardiology, Vascular Medicine, Neuroscience, and Urology rely on NorthPoint Domain's innovative web-based Informatics Instruments, specialty-specific content, and consulting services to enhance the care process.
