Can you give an example or two of the type of procedure documentation
required?
I'm wondering why a non-interactive audiovisual record wouldn't fill
the bill. (Like the no-doubt-fascinating-to-surgical-interns knee
reconstruction videos that keep popping up on the University of
Washington cable channel).
Why impose the additional workload of managing the data collection
system on the *most critical personnel* in the process?
It's quite cheap (financially and technically) to add massive-but-dumb
data collection functionality to an already-wired venue like the
modern surgical theater. Grab the entire event as fine-grained raw
data and emulate Google to find the interesting bits. Or let your pet
intern do that for you. (Oh ... wait ... that last bit isn't
monetizable. Forget I said that.)
