ERCP Bootcamp (On-Demand) | July 2026-Optimizing Efficiency in ERCP

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript focuses on improving efficiency in ERCP from both nursing/coordinator and physician perspectives. The first speaker explains that efficiency means achieving maximum productivity with minimal waste, and argues it matters because ERCP volume, complexity, costs, radiation exposure, and staffing demands are increasing. Major barriers include scheduling errors, incomplete pre-op workups, consent problems, supply shortages, difficult anatomy, and slow room turnover. She emphasizes pre-procedure planning, checklists, staff training, rep support, and constant communication to improve safety, outcomes, and satisfaction.<br /><br />The second speaker adds a physician viewpoint, highlighting how a new hospital reduced routine room turnover from 45 minutes to 13–15 minutes. She stresses using AI and Epic-integrated workflows to triage patients, screen for anticoagulation, ICDs, GLP-1s, and clearance needs, and send instructions early. She also recommends morning huddles, clear role division, and anticipating equipment and anesthesia needs. Both agree that efficiency depends on strong processes and communication, and that patient safety remains the top priority.
