How can audio/video recordings reinforce standardized patient lab training for medical and nursing students?
The IVS VALT audio/video recording system is a powerful tool for improving standardized patient lab training. By capturing SP sessions on video, students can review their performance, identify areas for improvement, and build confidence in their clinical skills. Video provides a detailed record of each interaction, allowing students to analyze their communication, examination techniques, and decision-making processes. Instructors can also use the recordings to provide targeted feedback and facilitate discussions, enhancing the overall learning experience.
What makes your audio/video recording system inconspicuous in the standardized patient lab setting?
We understand the importance of creating a realistic, immersive environment for standardized patient labs. That's why the VALT system is designed to be highly discreet. We use a central server to process and store all video content, which means the only equipment required in the room are HD IP cameras and high-quality auto-gaining microphones. The cameras can be easily adjusted to record from any angle, either fixed or movable. This minimalist setup allows students to focus on their interactions with the simulated patients without being distracted by bulky recording equipment.
Can instructors observe and communicate with students during a standardized patient session?
Yes, the VALT system supports live streaming, enabling instructors to observe their students remotely during simulated patient labs. Our "talkback" feature also allows remote observers to communicate with students in real-time. This powerful tool enables instructors to provide immediate feedback, correct or reinforce behaviors, and guide students through challenging scenarios. By facilitating real-time communication, our system enhances the learning experience and helps students refine their skills in the moment.
How can students and instructors access and review the recorded standardized patient sessions?
Accessing and reviewing recorded simulated patient labs is simple with the IVS VALT system. All that is required is a standard internet browser, such as Firefox, Safari, or Chrome. Students and instructors can log in to the system from any device, including computers, tablets, or smartphones, to view the recorded sessions. Each session is tagged with metadata, making searching for and locating specific videos easy. Our user-friendly interface ensures participants can quickly find and review the desired content, facilitating efficient learning and self-evaluation.
Can your audio/video recording system support off-site standardized patient sessions?
The VALT system can easily accommodate off-site recording of simulated patient labs. We offer a mobile capture application called BEAM, which allows you to record video sessions remotely using a smartphone or tablet. Simply use the BEAM app to record the off-site session, and when your device connects to Wi-Fi, the video will automatically sync with the main VALT server. This feature provides flexibility and convenience, enabling you to conduct and record standardized patient sessions wherever they take place.
How much video storage capacity does your system offer, and how can users organize the recorded content?
The VALT system offers ample storage capacity to accommodate your growing library of standardized patient lab recordings. A standard installation provides storage for approximately 16,000 hours of high-definition video, with larger installations available if needed. Users can easily organize and manage the recorded content using our built-in metadata tagging system.
Each video session can be tagged with relevant information, such as student names, dates, or specific clinical scenarios, making it simple to search for and retrieve specific recordings. This extensive storage and organization capability allows you to build a comprehensive library of simulated patient lab videos for long-term learning and reference.
