Ortho-Clinical Diagnostics, Inc. (OCD) has announced the launch of Ortho ON DEMAND, an innovative virtual engagement platform that enables blood bank professionals to learn from and connect with global transfusion medicine experts on topics central to achieving science-driven safety and efficiency in the blood bank. The platform incorporates numerous resources for those seeking to increase their knowledge and make new connections related to blood banking.
Many of today’s blood bankers struggle to do more with less, working longer hours with fewer financial resources. At the same time, instrumentation is more complex and the number of transfusions is increasing. In today’s environment of reduced resources, many laboratories have cut costs—including costs of travel to valuable learning events. Ortho ON DEMAND addresses this by providing transfusion medicine professionals with the ability to access educational content from home, according to their own schedules, at no charge.
Visitors to Ortho ON DEMAND will view virtual presentations delivered at global blood banking conferences and participate in live question-and-answer sessions with expert presenters. Additional features include the ability to network with other visitors, view webcasts on demand, and access scientific and product information via the following areas: Presentation Hall (live and on-demand webcast programming); Resource Center (scientific and educational resources); and Products & Solutions (technical and general information about OCD offerings). Content for each webcast will be archived for on-demand access following the event. A full listing of webcast events, including information on the different speakers and their presentation content/dates/times, can be found by visiting the Ortho ON DEMAND virtual platform at www.OrthoONDEMAND.com.
