He explains that a smart endoscopy suite goes beyond the physical structure and includes various aspects, such as staff, equipment, and a program for quality assurance. He highlights the importance of data collection in assessing the function of an endoscopy suite and mentions the Canadian Global Rating Scale (CGRS) as a quality assurance program. Dr. Armstrong emphasizes the need for collecting data on procedure indications, complications, diagnoses, and patient experience. He discusses the challenges in evaluating quality indicators, such as manually recording vital signs and equipment information. Dr. Armstrong also mentions the importance of standardized endoscopy reporting and the use of artificial intelligence for data acquisition and analysis. He concludes by stating that smart endoscopy suites should automate and standardize data collection to support long-term sustainable quality improvement. The video is a part of a presentation given by Dr. David Armstrong at a session chaired by the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE).
