Dr. Donovan argues that video recording improves overall effectiveness and patient satisfaction. Not only does video recording improve results, it is also useful for education, functional use during actual procedures, interventional pain management and patient satisfaction. In his experience, patients support video recording in the OR for two reason: The doctor “must be good” and “wouldn’t do anything he or she shouldn’t be doing” if he or she is videotaping his or herself.
Used mostly with regard to litigation cases, Halo is instrumental in having absolute documentation on the purpose of the procedure, what procedure was done and who it was done by. In his own practice, NorthShore Orthopedics, Dr. Donovan found wrong-sided injections decreased with the use of a Halo apparatus. Furthermore, in his experience, the Halo apparatus makes his injection procedures much easier without the inconvenience of a camera crew or other messy technology.
As of now, the Halo technology is not for sale but available for physician collaborators.
