1.3 History of videorecording in healthcare

While the use of video review in healthcare feels like a recent phenomenon, its roots stretch back several decades. Here's a look at its evolution:

Early pioneers:

• 1960s/70s: Pioneering center used closed-circuit television to record procedures for immediate self-review and teaching purposes within emergency medical care.

• Focus on Technical Skills: Initial use primarily centered on assessing individual surgical technique and providing targeted feedback.

• Equipment Challenges: Bulky equipment and limited storage options posed early barriers to widespread adoption.

Technology opens doors:

• 1980s/90s: Advances in video recording, storage, and software made the system more portable and user-friendly.

• Expanding Focus: Applications broadened to include communication and teamwork analysis, moving beyond sole technical assessment.

Digital and Networked Era:

• 2000s: The shift to digital recording and networked systems greatly enhanced storage capacity and ease of access for review.

• Widespread Interest: Video review began gaining popularity across various medical specialties beyond surgery.

• Specialization: Dedicated video capture systems designed for specific healthcare settings appeared.

The future is collaborative:

Video review in healthcare has journeyed from a tool for individual skill analysis to a multifaceted approach driving continuous quality improvement. Emerging trends point towards increased sharing of knowledge across institutions, a greater focus on patient-provider interactions, and the integration of video data with other healthcare analytics for even deeper insights.
