Abstract
The current approach to procedure reporting in endoscopy aims to capture essential findings and interventions but inherently sacrifices the rich detail and nuance of the entire endoscopic experience. Endoscopic video recording (EVR) provides a complete archive of the procedure, extending the utility of the encounter beyond diagnosis and intervention, and potentially adding significant value to the care of the patient and the field in general. This white paper outlines the potential of EVR in clinical care, quality improvement, education, and artificial intelligence-driven innovation, and addresses critical considerations surrounding technology, regulation, ethics, and privacy. As with other medical imaging modalities, growing adoption of EVR is inevitable, and proactive engagement of professional societies and practitioners is essential to harness the full potential of this technology toward improving clinical care, education, and research.
