Claim Your Section

Want to mark which part of the video you did? That's what claiming a section is for. On the section timeline under the video you can label the portion of a case you performed, and assign every other section to the surgeon or resident who performed it — so the record shows who did what.

Overview

The "Claim Your Section" feature allows surgeons and residents to specify the sections of a surgery each individual performed. This enables precise tracking and analysis of each team member's contribution to the procedure.

Benefits

The section markings provide several advantages:

• Efficient Navigation: Section markings are displayed on the horizontal timeline, enabling fast access to specific portions of the surgery.
• Feedback Requests (GME): Facilitates feedback requests focused only on sections performed by the designated surgeon or resident.
• Resident Progress Analytics: Helps monitor the progress of residents by measuring the percentage of the surgery they performed.
• Case and Surgeon Statistics: Enhances the accuracy of case and surgeon analytics, ensuring data is relevant by focusing on the specific sections completed by each individual.

How It Works

1. Navigate to the Case Page Open the case page from your dashboard or case list.

   

2. Locate the Section Timeline Find the horizontal section timeline located below the surgical video.

   

3. Select a Section to Claim Click on the specific section of the timeline that you want to claim as performed by a surgeon or resident.

   

4. Assign the Performer Choose the individual who performed that section from the dropdown menu.

   

5. Confirm Your Selection Click "Apply" to save the assignment.

Target Audience

This feature is primarily useful for:

• Residents: For tracking progress and gathering feedback on performed sections.
• Attending surgeons: For attributing each part of the procedure to the right person, so case and surgeon statistics reflect only the sections that individual performed.
• Program and department leads: For following resident progress through the percentage of each procedure they performed.
