We’ve had the privilege of filming Healthcare Video Production for iEXCEL at UNMC for several years now. The work that iEXCEL is doing with VR, AR, holographic and video production is really taking interactive training and learning for healthcare professionals to the next level. As are all the projects with iEXCEL and UNMC, this one was really interesting, concentrating more on the behavior of nurses and doctors rather than procedural. The UNMC Student Interprofessional Society acquired iEXCEL’s help to create three videos that demonstrated the correct way for nurses and doctors to communicate with patients of diverse religious, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Of course, in our scenarios there are a couple of actor nurses and doctors that get it wrong and have to be set straight. For these scenarios, UNMC has a data base of ‘actors’ called standardized patients which are essentially actors and/or non actors who want to act like patients in medical scenarios (which I think could be a whole movie in itself!). Usually these scenarios are used in training and not filmed, however, with us, they were able to be stars. For this Healthcare Video Production, we used actually nurses for both the nurse and the patients and I was amazed that they were so natural and really picked up on the filming process and seriously, the nurse in this video could be the next George Clooney (i.e. ER) Our goal is to make it as natural as possible with a cinematic feel. After watching many scenarios online by other hospitals, we really wanted to amp up the production quality of it and make it seem more like a movie instead of a straight scenario. And word has gone around the UNMC campus because this could easily be our 8th or 9th scenario that we’ve filmed for different departments.
