Video Recording Solutions for Standardized Patient Labs
Using video to record standardized patient labs offers a new high-tech approach to improve the process. Video allows students to review their SP session, building confidence while identifying areas in need of improvement. Video lets aspiring students use technology to sharpen their professional skills and develop a greater understanding of the practitioner-patient relationship.
VALT Solution for Standardized Patient Recording
HD Video & High Quality Audio
VALT is an extremely unobtrusive video installation — students are hardly aware that they are being observed. Utilize fixed or PTZ HD IP cameras that capture video in 1080p, which are paired with high-quality auto-gaining microphones.
Scalable Infrastructure
To review recorded simulated patient labs, instructors and students require nothing more than a simple Internet browser. A central server supports all video with a standard installation storage of 16,000 hours of high-definition video, though larger installs are available if needed.
Security
VALT's granular, customizable user permission structure, full SSL web traffic encryption as well as RTMPS video stream encryption, and audit logs provide security methods that are often a compliance requirement in regards to sensitive data.
Features that Support Better Observation and Learning
Software Video Control
Control pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras remotely through the software interface and tie camera presets to scheduled recordings, automating the movement of cameras. Video can be started and stopped instantly from within the room itself, or by a remote observer.
Feedback
Tag specific points within a recording either during live simulation lab observation or during the review process. These “markers” allow users to easily jump right to that point in the video similar to chapters in a DVD.
Monitor & Schedule
Users can use this feature to schedule standardized patient lab recordings in advance. The schedule can be set to automatically recur on a daily, weekly or monthly basis allowing for complete automation of the recording process.
Talkback
A “talkback” feature, which lets remote observers talk in real-time during the SPs to the students. “Talkback” is a powerful tool to correct or reinforce students’ interactions with the simulated patient, while the behaviors are still fresh in the students’ minds.
Searchable database
Build a customized searchable database. Our software allows medical students and instructors to build a searchable video database.
Organized Video Library
Each session is tagged with metadata, making it easy to look up individual video sessions. The vast storage space allows you to build a vast library of simulated patient lab recordings.
Our experience working with IVS has been phenomenal. Anything we have asked questions on they're willing to help us. They want to make our experience better so that our students have a better outcome and learning in the long run.

FAQs for Video Systems in Standardized Patient Labs
The VALT system offers ample storage capacity to accommodate your growing library of standardized patient lab recordings. A standard installation provides storage for approximately 16,000 hours of high-definition video, with larger installations available if needed. Users can easily organize and manage the recorded content using our built-in metadata tagging system.
Each video session can be tagged with relevant information, such as student names, dates, or specific clinical scenarios, making it simple to search for and retrieve specific recordings. This extensive storage and organization capability allows you to build a comprehensive library of simulated patient lab videos for long-term learning and reference.
