Video Guidance implements visual communications program for Dean Clinic

BLOOMINGTON, Minn. (May 3, 2011) – Bloomington, Minn.-based Video Guidance (www.videoguidance.com), a leading strategic visual communications company, has designed and implemented a successful pilot program for Madison, Wis.-based Dean Clinic, one of the largest integrated healthcare delivery systems in the country.

Dean is presently utilizing Video Guidance's VG Connect in its Madison headquarters as well as in its Janesville, Wis. location for a host of applications, including daily inter-company meetings and conferences and for conducting interviews. VG Connect is an industry-unique integration of video conferencing tools that combines HD video, voice, multi-point bridging, streaming and gateway programs into one easy-to-use service.

"Our pilot program first included the implementation of VG Connect's gateway and video bridging services," said Brian Groff, director of sales for Video Guidance. "Then, we trained and facilitated open houses and promotional events for Dean's employees so they learn just how simple the entire program is to use."

Dean, which provides medical, health and ancillary services, health insurance services and clinical research and education, is now interested in expanding its strategic visual communicationsinto telemedicine.

"Video Guidance has opened the door for us to explore new applications to achieve our healthcare and business objectives," said Todd Burchill, vice president of strategic planning & business development for Dean Clinic. "We believe there is a tremendous opportunity in areas such as telepharmacy, where pharmacists can remotely evaluate prescriptions; and in teleconsults, where patients can be seen remotely in a rural community by a specialist, such as a neurologist, allergist or cardiologist. These are just a couple of the amazing ways we can deliver the best healthcare possible."

Video Guidance's unlimited applications are being used in countless new ways to connect people creatively. The company also works with many education and healthcare organizations to provide real-time, interactive visual communications in areas with access to experts and specialists.

"We make it easy to connect people face-to-face from anywhere," said Groff. "We want organizations – large or small -- to imagine the possibilities of how they can achieve their business goals by communicating visually."
