Video Recording Solutions for Crisis Centers

Crisis centers are facilities that assist individuals who are undergoing a physical, behavioral, emotional, or psychiatric crisis. Some crisis centers focus on providing a refuge and care for people suffering from domestic violence, and other centers concentrate on individuals who are struggling with emotional or behavioral problems and often provide clinicians who determine if in-depth care is necessary and what level of care is appropriate.

Digital video is increasingly used to record crisis center patient evaluations. Making recordings of crisis center interviews and evaluations allows care providers to more accurately assess the needs of each person, as well as assist care providers in making accurate needs assessments.
