GI Unit Leadership: Optimizing Endoscopy Operations through Leadership (On-demand) | February 2025-Session 3 Case Based Discussion

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The transcript covers a detailed discussion on quality metrics and cost-effectiveness in gastroenterology. ADR (adenoma detection rate) is emphasized as a vital quality metric linked to reducing colon cancer risks. The variability in pathology interpretation of sessile serrated lesions and tools for automating reports like Epic's Beaker are discussed. GI QUIC and QlikSense are platforms praised for effectively tracking performance data. The conversation also touches upon extended withdrawal times during colonoscopy, debating its impact on productivity versus quality care. On cost-effectiveness, the discussion highlights concerns over increased usage of hemoclips, suggesting a data-driven evaluation of practices and encouraging standardized supply chain management. Constructive feedback approaches and committee evaluations for product use are recommended. In case studies, the potential benefits of extended scopes beyond standard benchmarks, particularly related to ADR, are discussed. Finally, incorporating standards and multi-society recommendations to streamline processes using technology was highlighted.
