Quality indicators for GI endoscopic proceduresQuality indicators common to all GI endoscopic procedures

Methodology
In 2006, the ASGE/ACG Task Force on Quality in Endoscopy published the first version of quality indicators common to all endoscopic procedures.3 The present update integrates new data pertaining to previously proposed quality indicators and new quality indicators common to all endoscopic procedures. For the current report, we prioritized indicators that had wide-ranging clinical application, were associated with variation in practice and outcomes, and were validated in clinical studies.

Quality indicators common to all GI endoscopic procedures5 are not discussed in this document except as they specifically relate to CE and DE. Previous quality articles introduced the concept of priority indicators that an individual endoscopist could use to measure their performance.5

2022, GastroenterologyCitation Excerpt :For example, we know that 50% of the adult population has 1 or more adenomas, but the lifetime risk of cancer in the United States is <5%. This is not to suggest that there is no benefit at all to surveillance, but for most the benefit of surveillance is often providing reassurance, with the timely provision of such surveillance a quality metric in and of itself.3,6,8,9 Of course, there are other benefits to ongoing surveillance, including procedural reimbursement and mitigating medicolegal risk.
