Footage is evaluated to improve staff performance
A New York hospital has invested in a video surveillance system to monitor clinical staff members as they treat patients, according to an article of the Campus Safety website.
The Long Island Jewish Medical Center adopted the system in 2013 to help improve staff performance.
The videos are low resolution to protect patient privacy. They are checked every two minutes to check for errors by clinical staff.
The information is then sent to staff supervisors in real-time.
