Bandwidth

Bandwidth is an online communication resource created by the John A. Hartford Foundation (the people behind ConsultGeriRN) that provides communication tools and support for healthcare professionals in long-term care.  Bandwidth believes that “effective communication is vital to promoting programs, changing healthcare practice and advocating policy change.”  The site provides resources that help long-term care professionals create a cohesive message and how and who to communicate that message to.   The tools on the site include help to create eye-catching presentations or posters; improving oral presentations; tips on how to deliver concise messages to the media and stakeholders;  appropriately using social media at work and much more. The website also has searchable databases of images, quotes and stories related to geriatric care that users can use in presentations or other communication tools.
