Inquisit partnership enables Alsius expand educational programming and increase webinar attendance by 940%

Through a partnership with Inquisit, Amerinet’s strategic education partner, Alsius Corporation (recently acquired by ZOLL Medical Corporation) was able to expand educational programming related to its innovative products and increase attendance to its webinars by 940 percent.

“Inquisit provided a lot of flexibility and options that fit our needs.”

“The goal is to educate,” said Dr. Xia Luo, director of clinical education for ZOLL Medical Corporation, a pioneer in the development of intravascular temperature management therapies for critically ill patients in intensive care, emergency departments and surgical settings. “Through educational webinars, we are able to assist physicians and nurses in their mission to improve patient care.”

Prior to its association with Inquisit, Alsius had worked with a different company to extend educational services, but had been disappointed in attendance, particularly the low number of physicians represented.

Supported by an educational grant from Alsius, Inquisit’s team developed, marketed and presented three education sessions on temperature management in patients. A total of 940 healthcare professionals in all 50 states and 15 foreign countries participated – an increase of 940 percent from the prior year. The sessions were offered at no charge to participants and/or their facilities due to the educational grant from the company. The programs are archived and continue to provide needed education via Inquisit’s Learning-On-Demand.

“I really prefer Inquisit because of its association with Amerinet and the access to the Amerinet network,” Dr. Luo said. “Inquisit provided a lot of flexibility and options that fit our needs.”

As a continuing education/medical education (CE/CME) provider, Inquisit provides high quality, cost-effective education programs to physicians, registered nurses and pharmacists as well as other healthcare professionals. With a menu that includes live and online programs, Inquisit has continued to meet the needs of healthcare professionals since 1999.

Inquisit offers education units from nearly 40 accrediting agencies in more than 30 healthcare professions. Its programs include:

• Learning-On-Demand, which provides online, on-demand education and product training nationwide through a secure, e-commerce website.
• iQasts, which enable a presenter to transmit a live presentation over the Internet to countless participants. Participants need only a computer with Internet connection and a telephone.
