Training Modules for iVidCast™

Silicon Valley-based Strategic Innovations, Inc., offers training and consulting services predominately to the senior housing and healthcare industry. In early 2007 the company will launch iVidCast™, a training system for direct care providers using iPods for viewing short-segment training videos at the point of service. A prototype training clip will debut at the American Association of Homes and Services for the Aging (AAHSA) annual meeting in San Francisco, November 5-8, 2006. "Tell Your Story" focuses on communication techniques for dementia care staff.

The following is an overview of the training modules that Strategic Innovations will be producing in the coming months for the iVidCast training system, based on specific needs expressed by customers. AAHSA participants can visit www.iVidCast.com to participate in a survey about future training needs and register to win an iPod.
