## **Your Quick Start Guide to Video Review**

#### **1. Planning:**

* [ ] **Set Goals:** Determine what you want to achieve with video review (e.g., skill improvement, process efficiency).
* [ ] **Secure Support:** Explain the benefits to colleagues and management to gain their buy-in. Make sure the team is prepared and have multiple meetings to explain the goal of video review to all involved providers. Make sure to inform management staff and obtain permission.&#x20;

2. **Pilot Test:**

* [ ] **Form your&#x20;**_**Neoflix**_**&#x20;pioneer team:** These are providers who are involved in the video review program and are willing to be the first to be recorded and who can convey the message of video review to the team.
* [ ] **Choose a Low-Stakes Task:** Start with a familiar, routine procedure for your first recording.
* [ ] **Keep Setup Simple:** Use a smartphone or enlist tech help if needed.
* [ ] **Watch and Learn:** Review the video with those involved, focus on positives, and identify areas for growth.

3. **First Review Session:**

* **Feedback rules:** The most important part of organizing video review, is maintaining the safe learning environment.&#x20;
  * You can enhance this by using feedback rules, i.e., be specific and to the point, focus on behavior and do not make it personal, describe the situation without judgement. &#x20;
* **Set a Positive Tone:** Emphasize learning and improvement in a supportive space.
* **Thank Participants:** Acknowledge the value of those who agreed to be recorded.
* **Facilitate Discussion:** Guide participants to share insights from the video.
* **End with Takeaways:** Summarize key learnings.

4. **Reflect and Expand:**

* **Get Team Feedback:** Evaluate the session's effectiveness by making an overview on lessons learned and identified areas for improvement. Ask for your team's feedback on the session, on what they learned from the session and how they experienced the safe learning environment. &#x20;
* **Build Your Program:** Based on the pilot and your team's feedback, develop guidelines and expand your video review program.
