Record surgeriesor other interventions
The recording of surgeries or different types of interventions is something common in hospitals, as it provides a series of benefits:
- For one, the recordings can be used as training material for future surgeons or other medical personnel. They represent an interesting opportunity to see special techniques in action.
- Mark your clips or stills via voice commands, to extract the highlights and include them later in the patient record on the HIS.
- Besides this, the performing surgeon can review his/her work later.
- Finally, having a recording at hand can help in cases of accusations of malpractice, as it is a clear proof on how the intervention went.
