Abstract

The goal of “Informarse.es salud” is to offer health care content to the public through different channels: web, cell phones and television screens installed in hospitals. In order to offer this service a platform has been developed for all the steps of any audio and video production process, such as: creation, cataloguing, reviewing, publication, distribution and broadcasting of contents. As a result, hospitals can manage their audio and video contents from their private spaces and then send them for review to be included in the “Catalogue of Digital Assets” of the Department of Health, and finally they can prepare a time schedule in the television screens they already have installed. The “Catalogue of Digital Assets” is increasing size with the material produced by hospitals and by other content creating agents, offering a unique, centralized and reviewed repository to feed the different channels. The platform “Informarse. es salud” went into operation in 2006, there are more than 2.500 television screens in more than 650 hospitals in Andalucía, with more than 60.000 videos watched by web channel and 15.300 by cell phone channel.
