Videos In Healthcare

My research on videos has included the use of videos in online reviews (reviews on websites such as yelp.com) and real estate, video monitoring of employees for hand hygiene compliance (one of the technologies used), and training videos. Today, I discovered videos are also used a lot in healthcare - for surgical education (video coaching), to assist with surgery, for review of surgical skills, and so on. I skimmed quite a few articles with interest.

One of the articles I found was:

Video Coaching in Surgical Education: Utility, Opportunities, and Barriers to Implementation

It reported that surgical residents and other subjects overwhelmingly find video-based coaching of surgery (in the operating room) useful. Video-based coaching also assists with skill acquisition.

It is interesting that videos are so significant in surgical education. It is different for online reviews. A video does not greatly improve the quality of a review.

Posts On Journal Articles

I found some interesting journal articles that informed me of issues and made me think of "possibilities." I wrote about them in LinkedIn. Here are the posts:

My issue today: automation. Just yesterday, I wrote that systems will be assisting with the creation of diagrams in software development (see post: https://fahmeenaodetta.blogspot.com/2022/07/change.html). In past jobs, I have been praised for diagrams I created. I understand why people would resist automation.

I did not realize that automation is an issue for hand hygiene. I found an article that argues: "Human observation is the gold standard for measuring compliance, but its utility is increasingly being questioned with calls for the use of video monitoring approaches" (see article here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0196655322001511). This seems like a valid argument.

Did you see my proposal for a study on hand hygiene compliance monitoring and its effects on performance and employee satisfaction? Two of the research questions are:

RQ1: Do technology solutions that monitor hand hygiene compliance result in improved employee performance in the short-term because employees develop the habit of cleaning/washing their hands (i.e. is there a steady increase in performance that peaks at a certain level – performance follows an asymptotic curve)?

RQ2: What is the longer-term performance impact of implementing a technology solution that monitors hand hygiene compliance, i.e. the performance impact after 1 year and beyond (after 3, 4, 5 years etc.)?
