Abstract

Introduction .Video-assisted debriefing is commonly used in healthcare simulation. The ability to conduct video-assisted debriefing duringin situ simulation is limited by the capacity to quickly and easilyrecord andplayback video in the clinical environment. Methods . We developed the Synchronous Mobile Audio-visual Recording Technology Cart (SMART-Cart) toimprove the ability to conduct video-assisted debriefing during in situ simulation. TheSMART-Cart is composed of a compact metal cart, integrated dual wide-angled pan-tilt-zoom cameras, microphones, high-performance audio-video computer with two rear facing video monitors, and a large front-facing video screen positioned for easy video playback and review. Results . Duringpilot-testing involving 75 simulations with the capture of over 10 GB of audiovisual data, the SMART-Cart functioned extremely well with no technical issues.Setup andtake down speeds were significantlyfaster using the SMART-Cart as compared to traditional in situ video debriefing methods. Use of the SMART-Cart was also resulted in a 50%reduction in the overallfoot-print of the simulation recording equipment. Discussion . Based on our experience, the SMART-Cart provides afast andreliable option to facilitate video-assisted debriefing during in situ simulation. Further investigation into the process of video-assisted debriefing using the SMART-Cart are warranted.
