Medical education. Grand rounds recordings. Video-based employee onboarding and training. Patient observation and correspondence. Today, video is necessary for health care organizations. However, many video platforms can be complex and pricey, which can put strain on your organization’s budget.

If you’re looking for a cost-effective video platform for your health care organization, there are a few key things to look for. To get the most value, seek out:

• On-premise security management

• Integrations with platforms you use

• Affordable hardware and software

Here’s more information about each of these features and why they matter.

On-premise security management

Of course, your health care organization’s first priority is the health of its patients. Next, your organization must also be sure those patents’ records and information are secure. That information includes video records. For example, if physicians record and store grand rounds, they should take steps to protect those recordings. This ensures patient confidentiality and privacy.

A cost-effective way to ensure video security is to invest in an on-premise video platform. With on-premise security, your team can manage your content library on-site. If you rely solely on cloud-hosting, you may risk unwanted parties accessing your organization’s most sensitive content. The preventative step of using on-premise hosting and management can save you from expensive security breaches in the future.

Look for a health care video platform that allows you to control access to content based on your unique needs. Some on-premise security features to pay attention to include:

• Restricted viewing to your organization’s CMS

• Password protection or individual user access for videos

• Restricted viewing to specific IP address or IP subnets

Integrations with platforms you use

It’s likely you already have web conferencing and CMS platforms of choice at your organization. A cost-effective health care video platform should work with those tools, not force you to invest in new ones.

For example, a doctor may host a web conference for a remote meeting with their colleagues using Zoom of WebEx. After the meeting, if your organization uses Ensemble, their recording will save to their Ensemble Video portal for their team to find and reference later.

Ensemble Video also offers a Google Chrome Extension that allows your organization’s staff to create a screen recording in their web browser. With this tool, doctors and other healthcare professionals can walk through a presentation or patient information for another provider and immediately create a link to share the recording.

When your health care video platform integrates with the tools and platforms your staff already uses, they won’t have to waste time learning to use new ones. This means your organization can maintain high quality care for patients.

Affordable hardware and software

You shouldn’t have to invest in complex, expensive features or equipment for your health care organization’s video platform. As you look for a cost-effective solution, one major consideration should be the kinds of hardware and software that the platforms you’re considering work with.

Ensemble Video offers affordable and high-quality  Matrox Monarch devices to record and stream meetings and conferences. Ensemble is also compatible with live streaming encoders Wirecast, Open Broadcaster and more.

Many video platforms require users to add-on pricey proprietary hardware and software. But because Ensemble is technology-agnostic, our customers have the flexibility to use their own devices.
