Video review is a tool for enhancing performance, promoting collaboration, and identifying areas for improvement. This quick-start guide outlines the essential steps to implement video review in your workflow.
Define specific goals for your video review process, such as skill improvement or process efficiency. Gain support from colleagues and management by explaining the benefits and potential outcomes. Develop a clear policy addressing privacy concerns, including consent procedures and guidelines for video storage and access.
Form a pilot team of providers willing to participate in the first recordings. Select a routine, low-risk task for the initial recording to minimize pressure. Use readily available equipment like smartphones for recording, seeking technical assistance if needed.
Establish feedback rules to maintain a safe learning environment. Focus on specific behaviors and situations without personal judgments. Begin the session by emphasizing the learning objectives and thanking participants. Guide the discussion to draw insights from the video, and conclude by summarizing key takeaways.
After the initial session, gather feedback from participants on the effectiveness of the review and their experience with the process. Use this input to refine your approach and develop guidelines for a broader implementation of video review.
At first, start with brief recordings of basic tasks. This approach allows for manageable analysis and gradual skill development.
Focus on identifying and reinforcing positive aspects of performance. While addressing areas for improvement, maintain a balanced perspective that acknowledges existing competencies.
Establish a framework that encourages open discussion and reflection. Implement specific feedback protocols to ensure all participants feel comfortable sharing insights and receiving critiques.
Developing participants' understanding of video review practices is crucial. The provided FAQs serve as a valuable resource for this purpose. Reviewers and subjects alike should familiarize themselves with these materials to enhance the effectiveness of the review process.
As the review program progresses, consider gradually increasing the complexity and duration of recorded tasks. This approach allows for a more comprehensive assessment of skills and promotes continuous improvement over time.

With this approach, you'll gain permission more easily, avoid expensive equipment costs, and immediately see the positive impact of video recording.
If you don't do this, your team members might become anxious, decline participation, you will invest time and money in complex equipment, and might leave providers feeling negative about the experience.
You'll create a structured session for participants to safely express their views, providing concrete areas for improvement that you can immediately act upon.
Without careful planning of your first review session, you risk receiving judgmental feedback, making recorded providers feel unappreciated, leading to poorly guided sessions, and creating uncertainty about how insights will be used.
This approach allows your team to provide feedback and share experiences, enabling you to tailor the video review program for a better fit within your department.
Without taking the time to refelec,t you risk silencing team feedback and experiences, potentially creating a misaligned setup, and jeopardizing team buy-in.
