GI Unit Leadership: (Re)Starting Your Quality Program (On-demand) | February 2023
Release Date: February 2023
Viewing Time:
4 hours
Description
The pandemic and ongoing staffing shortages have underscored the importance of every member of the healthcare team working to the full extent of their role and remaining vigilant to ensure the delivery of high-quality, safe, patient-centered care. To be sure, the time is now to double down on quality improvement efforts, not withdrawn from them. To reinvigorate your team, start by going back to the basics, the foundations of your Quality Assurance and Performance Improvement Program, where practical, creative problem-solving begins. A vibrant, engaged team will identify and prioritize the essential, value-added work to ensure optimal patient outcomes, positive patient experiences, and a healthy work environment. Join expert faculty who will offer practical approaches to solving common challenges faced by endoscopy units through a mix of didactic and case-based interactive discussions.

Plus, those renewing or reinstating honoree status in the ASGE Endoscopy Unit Recognition Program can attend this abbreviated course to fulfill the Quality Course requirement of the application.

Note: This course contains recordings from the live/virtual event that took place on February 4, 2023.

Optimal Viewing Experience in GI Leap
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.
