How do we determine efficiency in the new normal unless we understand the impact of the pandemic on endoscopic operations? The importance of measuring, identifying, and focusing on what is needed to improve efficiencies on items such as costs, staffing, and procedures are critical to units across all settings. The ASGE GI Practice Operations Benchmarking Survey is a unique tool to compare and trend an array of your unit’s operations performance metrics.

Presented by Frank J. Chapman, MBA,  you will learn the value of operations benchmarking and how your unit can participate in this important Survey. You will also take away some practice pearls from the last Survey analysis.

• Review the web-based analysis platform
• Delineate the granularity and specificity of platform data vs Databook
• Review year-to-year changes seen in the last version of the Survey
• Identify Key Performance Indicators that indicate efficiency
• Call for participation in the current benchmarking efforts

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.
