Videos Win Awards in National Contest
INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indiana University School of Medicine video about smoking cessation and Riley Today have garnered recognition in the 2000 Telly Awards competition.
Reversing Trends: Smoking Cessation Techniques for the Health Care Professional received a Bronze Telly Award. IU Nicotine Dependence Program Co-director Stephen Jay, M.D., chairman of the School's Department of Public Health, was a moderator on the video.
Reversing Trends, a collaborative effort with Healthcare Excel, a federally authorized organization that helps provide oversight of Medicare and Medicaid programs in Indiana and Kentucky, was researched and written by Anna McDaniel, D.N.S., of the IU School of Nursing. The video project was produced and directed by Diane Hook and edited by Norm Legge of the School's Creative Services facility of the Medical Education Resources Program/Continuing Medical Education.
Riley Today, a videotape medical journal sponsored by the James Whitcomb Riley Hospital for Children, also received a Bronze Telly Award.
Produced three times a year, Riley Today keeps 3,000 Indiana pediatricians and family practitioners informed of the latest advances in pediatric medicine and surgical care. The video journal is hosted by Patricia Keener, M.D., IU School of Medicine clinical professor of pediatrics. The show is produced by the MERP's Creative Services section.
The Telly Awards were founded in 1980 to showcase and give recognition to outstanding non-network film and video productions. There were more than 11,000 entries in the 2000 contest.
