2.1 Previewing

Video-assisted debrief of a procedure

After a procedure has been recorded, follow these steps to gather valuable insights from the medical team:

• Obtain Consent: Ensure all team members present in the recording have provided consent for its use.

• Video-Assisted Debrief: Conduct a review session with the team, using the video recording to guide the discussion. Focus on:

  • Observations and reflections on the procedure

  • Contextual factors influencing decision-making

• Request Plenary Use Permission: Obtain explicit permission from the team to utilize the video and accompanying insights during the larger plenary review session.

Record, preview and review of medical procedures.

Questions to ask during preview:

• What do you notice when you watch the video?

  • “What do you think went well?”

    “What do you think could be done differently?”

    “What could be further improved?”

    "What stands out in this video?"

• Did you notice anything, while watching the video, that you don't remember, but that becomes apparent in the video?

• Is there anything we can't see on the video, context-like, that we need to know when reviewing the video during video review? Such as stress on the ward, change of shifts or time of day?

• Is there anything specific you would like your colleagues' advice on? Any questions we can ask (for you) during the plenary video review session?

• Do you give consent for use of the video during the plenary video review session?
