Driving Surgical Quality Using Operative Video

Paul R A O'Mahoney et al. Surg Innov. 2016 Aug.

Abstract

Recent evidence suggests surgical quality may be demonstrated and evaluated using video capture during surgery. Operative video documentation may also aid in quality improvement initiatives. We discuss how operative video has the potential to help improve patient outcomes and increase professional accountability, patient safety, and surgical quality.

Keywords: evidence based medicine/surgery; surgical education; the business of surgery.
