Abstract

One urban center provided an Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) course to a rural hospital using a minimum of on-site instructors. Interactive television (ITV) conferencing was used to educate health care providers in a hospital more than 100 miles away. Nurses and physicians from a small rural hospital in northern Nevada were able to "attend" a full-scale ACLS course without having to leave their hospital, resulting in minimal cost to the agency. Rural and urban hospitals can partner to provide high-quality, cost-effective education to nurses and other health care providers through the use of ITV conferencing.
