Affinity CME Video Blog FAQ

What is it?

* A regularly updated Web site where you can access video presentations of CME programs previously presented at Mercy Medical Center. We hope to add other programs from around Affinity soon.
* Access 24/7 – on your own schedule
* Access from your work or home computer
* Better use of time (not spent in travel to the presentation site)

Where is it? How do I find it?
On the world wide web at

Affinity CME Video Blog
http://affinitycme08.blogspot.com/

Tip : Once you have the Web site open, add to you Favorites to easily find again.

Links on the Affinity Intranet (3 ways to find it)

Method 1 : Use the Search Box > Type in “CME Video”

Method 2 : Affinity Intranet > Library > CME Video Blog

Method 3 : CME Page > Affinity CME Video Blog


System Requirements for hardware / software

* Internet Access
* Works best with a cable modem or T1-line
(You’ll be frustrated with dial-up access from home.)
* You may need Flash, Acrobat Reader, and/or Microsoft Office (or other word processor) These are standard issue for Affinity Computers. At home, you may get automatic messages identifying these requirements with links to download.
* Sound capabilities
* Problems viewing the video? Try upgrading your Adobe FlashPlayer.

An Important note on access (before you report broken links) :

If accessing from outside Affinity, Remote Access will be required to view the handouts and CME forms. (Although the video and the blog itself are hosted on the world-wide-web and are viewable by anyone, the handouts and CME forms live behind the Affinity firewall and are accessible only to Affinity Medical Staff, affiliates, and employees. )

Options :

> Print the handouts and CME Forms while at an Affinity computer
> Use Remote Access to view the handouts and CME Forms
> Don’t use the handouts and CME form (Not everyone needs the credit.)

Credit will only be granted to Affinity medical staff and affiliates.

To get credit, fill out the respective evaluation form and send it to Carole Carow, Medical Staff Office at MMC in Oshkosh.

If handouts were provided by the speaker, they will be included with the video. If no handouts were provided, we have nothing to post and that is indicated.
