I am new to online education. This seems like an answer to my prayers for time, cost and convenience. We developed these programs in response to clinician feedback for supplemental educational information. These programs underscore Baxter's commitment to provide clinicians with tools, techniques and care processes to help ensure critical therapies are delivered as safely and effectively as possible. The programs have drawn attention not only in the health-care community, but in the business sector as well.
All programs are under evaluation for global expansion into other languages.
Baxter has several other initiatives underway to improve the way health care is delivered by leveraging the Internet to provide educational content and real-time information to clinicians and consumers. Through its e-health initiative, Baxter is working towards the private and secure exchange of information between patients and clinicians via the Internet. Baxter also offers several educational Web sites for patients and clinicians in each of its three business areas, providing extensive information on disease states and treatment options. Baxter International Inc. is a global medical products and services company that provides critical therapies for people with life-threatening conditions.
