Your video review program holds a wealth of valuable knowledge. Imagine the potential of sharing a video of a medical procedure with colleagues in a different unit. New perspectives, valuable insights, and shared learning experiences unfold – all leading to better patient care. It's time to take your program further and explore multicenter video review. Here, two centers collaboratively review videos of procedures, using an online connection.
Institutional Support: Secure funding and IT support for infrastructure needed for broader sharing initiatives and maintenance of your video repository.
Privacy: consider the privacy of those who are recorded, patient and provider.
Introduction:
provides a fantastic opportunity to improve medical procedures across institutions. This manual outlines a simple process for collaboration between centers and fosters shared learning for better patient outcomes.
Choose Procedures: Begin by selecting specific procedures that would benefit from multicenter review (consider those with variability between centers).
Find Similar Recordings: Gather recordings from both centers that showcase the chosen procedures. Ensure enough similarity to spark insightful comparisons.
Create the Checklist: Collaboratively develop a checklist outlining key procedure steps of local practices. Design the checklist for easy use during the review.
Step 2: Setting Up the Review Session
Invite Participants: Include a mix of medical and nursing staff from both centers.
Choose a Time: Select a time that works conveniently for the largest number of participants
Technology: Decide on a reliable virtual meeting platform (e.g., Webex, Microsoft Teams).
Include Case Details: Provide contextual information regarding the cases on video (gestational age, infant weight, reason for intervention, etc.).
Moderation: Designate providers from both centers as session moderators. Their role will be introducing the cases, guiding discussions, and keeping track of time.
Watch and Discuss: Play the videos from both centers and facilitate open discussion on similarities and differences. Encourage participants to ask questions.
Update the Checklist: Actively update the checklist during the session with new insights, ensuring it becomes a valuable reference tool.
Internal Discussions: After each session, moderators should discuss findings within their centers and implement changes as needed.
Document Changes: Keep a record of practice changes inspired by your multi-center sessions. This helps track progress and identify areas for continuous improvement.
Emphasize a supportive environment: Make it clear the focus is on shared learning, not competition.
