Advanced ARIA (Virtual) | December 2022-Recap and Summary

Video Transcription

All right, so this is the end of the course today. I hope you guys had a great time. Before I end it, before I finish, I want to thank everyone on the ASGE team, including  Michelle and Lyle, who are on with us today, along with Ed Dellert. I want to thank the ARIA committee. I think Dr. Tierney is here with us, she joined in.  He's the head of our ARIA committee.  I want to thank the speakers today from all around the country, leaders in our field. And I thank you guys for participating in today's course.  I think your participation alone in this course means you're more invested in just being a member of your own industry.  It means you're interested in what's going on in medicine and how we're going to improve patient care and outcomes moving forward.  I think you heard a lot today about the use of artificial intelligence and how that's going to be incorporated into our practice, whether it be in our medical record system,  endoscopy, pathology, there are a lot of applications there. We talked about social media and how that will likely only continue to be an important  format for disseminating information about what's going on in our field academically, as well as with devices or drugs, new studies that are coming out, results of studies.  So I think that's become more and more important as well. Of course, you touched on the impact of COVID on GI, and certainly COVID has affected many  aspects of medicine and affected us as well, whether it be our procedural practices, telemedicine.  We talked on the quality metrics in GI, and hopefully we've been too cynical about the topics that were discussed and how quality will hopefully become more incorporated into  our practice. It may require some reimbursements, politics, these types of things that are, of course,  the nature of the real world, but hopefully we will, in the end, improve quality of care to our patients with all the changes that are taking place in our field.  I want to thank you guys again for attending.  There is an evaluation on GI LEAP, so when you guys get a chance, either go to the website  or to the app, and certainly I think Michelle can send you information on how to get to the  survey, and Michelle will be emailing you guys individually at mthomas.asg.org.  Thank you again for participating in today's Advanced ARIA course. Have a great day.
