The path to quality improvement begins by defining those aspects of care that impact the quality of the patient experience. Once the elements of high-quality endoscopy are defined, ways to measure them can be instituted as a foundation to a more robust quality improvement program.

This webinar will:

• Identify ASGE/ACG endorsed indicators for quality performance of gastrointestinal endoscopy common to all procedures
• Discuss the evidence which supports these indicators and performance targets for these indicators
