I. Title: Evaluation of the feasibility of a video-transmitted surgical ward round: a proof of

concept study
Author: Johannink, J., et al.
Source/Publisher: BMC Medical Education
Year of Publication: 2023

II. Summary:
In the study by Johannink et al. (2023), the authors explored the successful
implementation of video-transmitted ward rounds in medical education, particularly
focusing on surgical ward rounds. They found that this digital format was technically
feasible, well-accepted by students, and led to a significant improvement in students'
surgical ward round competencies. The study emphasized the importance of structured
teaching methods in developing skills for effective communication and interaction during
ward rounds.

III. Nursing Implications:

A. To Nursing Practice: The findings of this study highlight the importance of effective
communication and collaboration within interprofessional healthcare teams during ward
rounds. Nurses can benefit from structured teaching methods similar to those used in the
study to enhance their ability to contribute effectively to patient care discussions and
ensure patient safety.
B. To Nursing Education: Nursing educators can consider incorporating structured
teaching concepts, such as those used in the study, into nursing education programs. This
approach can help nursing students develop the necessary skills for active participation in
ward rounds and interprofessional collaboration.
C. To Nursing Research: Future nursing research can build upon the findings of this
study by investigating the impact of structured teaching methods on nursing students'
competencies in various clinical settings, including ward rounds. Additionally, research can
explore how digital formats may enhance nursing education and practice.

IV. Personal Insights:

As a student nurse, I find it valuable to learn about the successful implementation of
digital formats like video-transmitted ward rounds in medical education. This innovative
approach can potentially enhance interprofessional collaboration, which is crucial in
providing high-quality patient care. I believe that incorporating structured teaching
methods can benefit nursing education and prepare future nurses for effective
participation in healthcare teams.
