For Immediate Release: September 5th, 2004
GetWellNetwork™ and wired.MD, Inc. Announce Partnership Around streaMed CCTV™
GetWellNetwork is a leading provider of closed circuit and interactive television systems for hospitals throughout the United States. Their PatientLife:)System™ product offering provides patient and staff education, interactive messaging, entertainment content and email communication. GetWellNetwork empowers healthcare participants and measurably improves quality, service and safety outcomes in hospitals by developing applications and services for patients, nurses and administrators.
wired.MD and GetWellNetwork have solidified a strategic partnership where GetWellNetwork will resell, deploy and support the streaMed CCTV product offering to their customers throughout the country. GetWellNetwork is the first company to begin reselling the newly launched streaMed CCTV product offering to the hospital marketplace.
The streaMed CCTV product offer is unique in the market because it’s the only patient education video content that is standard with features including pre-approved broadcast rights, pre-digitized videos, free content updates and free video exchange options. These four features translate into key benefits for nurse educators and healthcare providers who traditionally have had to proactively seek both broadcast rights and digitization of purchased content with a myriad of vendors. streaMed CCTV allows for both GetWellNetwork and their end customers to simply select titles and to begin providing them to patients.
“Delivering patient education bedside in hospitals is a key environment for providing critical content to patients.” says Mark Friess, CEO of wired.MD. He continues by saying “GetWellNetwork’s PatientLife:)System and our streaMed CCTV solution inherently make this process more effective and efficient.”
