Outline and Objectives

 

Internet stocks have undergone their "correction," many trailblazing companies have closed their doors, the promise of a "new economy" seems shattered...giving way to the same old traditional business models again. The web is dead...right? Despite all the doom and gloom about the Web, there are still significant gains to be made in using web-based technology, applications and services.

 

This 1 hour course will look at how the internet can help the struggling EMS industry operate better, faster and cheaper in its general business practices, information management, learning needs, quality assurance and organizational communications. We'll examine a case study of a typical EMS service, look at costs, operating procedures and the return-on-investment opportunities that exist using simple and cost-effective web-based applications.  Think you're a tiny volunteer service and there is nothing for you to gain or that you can't afford technology improvements? We bet after this course you'll think again!
