Take One Wins Major Medical Publishing Award

 British Medical Association First Prize

Annapolis, MD – November 10th, 2014

We’ll take feedback that says “high production standards and clinical accuracy” any day old chap! Take One Digital Media and Lippincott, Williams & Wilkins are First Prize recipients of the coveted British Medical Association’s Medical Book Awards 2014 for Digital and online resources for our work on Bates’ Visual Guide to Physical Examination. The award judges remarked, “Bates’ Visual Guide to Physical Examination, the online version of the classic textbook on physical examination and history taking, is a wonderful resource. This electronic guide consists of lessons organised by body systems, with each lesson providing detailed explanations of examination procedures and demonstrations of specific techniques via streaming video. The production standards are very high as is the attention to clinical accuracy. It allows users online access for optimal accessibility and portability.”

Take One produced the 23 part physical examination series during 2013 and 2014 including closed captioned and Spanish language versions. The product is part of an online suite of Bates’ titles. Over the years Take One has honed its medical video production skills to the highest level. We are proud to be recognized by the British Medical Association.

Return Client | New Site | Great Outcome

New Website for Syndicus, Inc.

Annapolis, MD – April 14th, 2014

Syndicus, Inc. is an Annapolis based technical recruiting company. Since its founding in 2007, the company has grown exponentially now offering staffing and solutions/consulting across Health IT, Technology Services, and Life Sciences. The company prides itself on strong relationships. Valuing long term working relationships with our clients is also the model at Take One, that’s why when Syndicus asked us to redesign and program their out of date site, we were completely on board. That’s right, we designed the site back in the day too! As much as their business grew and changed, so did ours.

In 2009, when Syndicus was still young, they came to Take One with the need for a professional website. We worked with them to develop what was a robust, clean, and easy to navigate site. As Syndicus branched out and added more services and clients, it became clear that they had greater web needs as well. Web technology and how users access the web has also changed significantly since then. Syndicus did their research and came up with a scope of work looking for a highly developed responsive site that they could easily maintain themselves. A Responsive Web Design (RWD) involves designing and programming the site for optimal viewing experience – across all devices be they desktop or mobile. In 2014, Syndicus vetted several developers and awarded the project to Take One Digital Media. In a few short months, we delivered a site that ticks all of their boxes (http://syndicusinc.com/). This project is a great example of how long standing vendor/client relationships can and should grow with time..

The site is built in WordPress and boasts a responsive design that incorporates all of Syndicus’ needs for news posting, SEO optimization, and easy site updating. The site is hosted on our WordPress Managed Hosting solution. From start to finish, this project is a great example of how Take One prides itself in partnering with its clients for win-win outcomes.
