Following the same principals of providing transparency and reproducibility for experiments, JoVE created a Clinical and Translational Medicine publication that provides video documentation of clinical procedures.
JoVE Medicine publishes case reports by physicians that can include information on treatment qualifications, patent case history, diagnosis, treatment planning, discussion of complications and presentation of center-specific data or discussing of over arching multi-site clinical studies.
Medical case reports published in JoVE do not follow the traditional work flow as experimental methods are documented, the primary reason being that you cannot peer-review a case before it has been documented. Instead JoVE’s MD script writers, work to outline expected steps in the procedure to film. The outline accompanies an introduction and discussion to be modified post procedure the day of filming.
During filming physicians are encouraged to verbally discuss important steps of the procedure. The amount physicians comment varies in each procedure. In general, physician narratives are much less frequent than in most live case presentations you may be familiar with at medical conferences. Post filming, authors are able to finalize their manuscripts on the case for editorial and peer-review.
In addition to work flow changes, JoVE has modified it’s format to overlay intraoperative images into the video. This is especially useful for procedures in areas like interventional cardiology which require fluoroscopic images and MRI, CT or Ultrasound scans to visualize what is really happening during a procedure.
With over 100 articles published in JoVE Medicine, JoVE is fast becoming the world’s largest producer of medical video content, in addition to already being the largest producer of video content documenting scientific experiments.
