The results of the study are summarized below. <\/p>\n\n

Video-based surgical clarification as the new gold standard: efficiency, quality, legal certainty<\/h2>\n\n

Providing surgical information before a planned operation is one of the most basic medical activities. However, with the increasing availability of digital solutions in healthcare, new possibilities are also emerging in the area of Patient Education – such as video-assisted surgical education. This involves the use of an individually compiled video that supplements the medical consultation. The hopes associated with the use of video-assisted Patient Education range from better patient understanding of the planned procedure, higher patient satisfaction and less anxiety about the procedure to economic aspects such as possible time savings for the medical staff providing the information. <\/p>\n\n

A current prospective cluster-randomized study by the University Hospital of W\u00fcrzburg<\/strong> now provides hard evidence: The use of individualized explanatory videos – created with medudoc<\/strong> technology – significantly reduces the time required for surgical consultations without compromising patient satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n

For clinics, MVZs and specialists in private practice, this results in scalable transformation potential in one of the most risk-intensive clinical core processes.<\/p>\n\n

Study situation: significant time savings with higher patient satisfaction<\/h2>\n\n

The study examined 101 patients prior to elective cholecystectomies and colon interventions. The aim of this study was to compare video-assisted surgical information with conventional information in terms of information time and patient satisfaction. Patients undergoing colonectomies and cholecystectomies were included and divided into a control group and an intervention group. The intervention group received a video developed by the company medudoc Deutschland GmbH for educational support, while the control group was informed according to the previous in-house standard. The results set new benchmarks: <\/p>\n\n

Video-assisted surgical clarification dramatically reduced the net clarification time:<\/p>\n\n

  • Colon interventions:<\/strong>877.7 seconds (\u2248 14.6 min) \u2192 281.1 seconds (\u2248 4.7 min)<\/strong>Time saving: ~68%<\/mark><\/strong>, p < 0.001<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n

    This relieves highly qualified staff where clinical resources are scarcest: in the core medical process.<\/p>\n
