Much of what happens in the operating room is shrouded in mystery:
1.The patient goes to sleep,
2.The surgeon goes to work,
- Things go as planned (fingers crossed)
Lets take a deeper look
1) Though hospitals track patient outcomes for surgeons, most of today’s reporting and analysis falls short of the insights that could be possible with more sophisticated data from the operating room. Video unlocks masses of medical data.
2) There’s a growing movement to change that, guided by research linking what happens under the knife to patient outcomes.
3) More rigorous evaluation of surgical technique is on the horizon, aided by technology companies turning laparoscopic cameras and other surgical tools into sources of ground truth.
4) There’s immense promise in using robust data and artificial intelligence to improve the practice of surgery. But surgeons caution that using video and other tech for board certification or performance reviews can be risky.
5) Some hospital systems have already started adopting video and data capture systems in the operating room.
- Caresyntax,
- C-SATS,
- Surgical Safety Technologies
Each will be used to record procedures by 150 surgeons, who will also be asked to review videos of their peers’.
6) Using Video to audit surgeons?
When a bad patient outcome occurs.
Current practice
1.Hold a regular morbidity meeting
In the future
- AI driven videos
7) The Problem?
Being human beings, we don’t necessarily register some of these things as being consequential,” Benefit AI might be able to help tease out which steps in a surgery affect how well a patient fares
8) AI to explain the why.
We were only able to explain only a proportion of the variation in why some surgeons do systematically better than others,
9) Video + AI to Compare Surgeons
Surgeon 1
Put in four structures, they don’t look as smooth and as slick as the person who puts in three.
Surgeon 2
Puts in four structures. leads to better patient outcomes. Video makes this data available to follow up on patient outcomes.
10) The real benefit?
Annotated Videos for AI. Means if you have a specific tumor. Your surgeon can scan a worldwide database of similar operations to find the best technique for patient outcomes.
11) Secondary Benefits.
Surgeon leader boards. Means Quantifiable Based Recruitment.
12) 10 years from now?
AI tools will report back on surgeries and provide the surgeons with an improvement report.
