The impact of COVID on the GI medical practice will be both a catalyst and propellant for the sweeping practice delivery model changes. Are you ready? GI Outlook (GO) 2021 covered a variety of topics to help gastroenterologists and their practice teams reexamine current GI practice models in a post-COVID world. GO 2021 keynote presentations, panel discussions and a fireside chat incorporated thought leaders’ perspectives on what’s ahead and with insights on how to navigate these trends.

The live event was held on November 18, 2021.

• Identify opportunities to increase the economic viability and sustainability of your practice through new practice models, service lines, staffing configurations and payment models.
• List new technologies and innovations to increase consumer engagement and expand your practice.
• Compare and contrast knowledge gained on the changing practice of healthcare as it relates to updated federal rules, quality, and the workforce.
• Understand the continuum of private GI practices in a post-COVID era and resources needed for future success.

Although all browsers continually roll out new versions and updates, we currently recommend using Chrome for the best functionality when accessing GI Leap. Please note that Internet Explorer is not a supported browser. Follow these tips for better streaming and viewing of ASGE videos:

1. Close other applications and browser tabs. This decreases the load on memory so your computer or other device can focus on streaming.
2. Use a 5 GHz frequency if your router supports it. The common 2.4 GHz frequency is used by household appliances, so is more crowded. Avoiding it is like getting into the carpool lane on a freeway: smoother sailing.
3. Use Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi if possible but GI LEAP is built with Wi-Fi in mind. 
4. Monitor your internet connection. If your ISP has promised you 5MBps and you are getting only 1MBps, it's time for a phone call to your internet provider to sort that out.
