AI Article Synopsis

  • ESGE has created performance measures and a quality assessment framework for gastrointestinal endoscopy in Europe, which national societies are encouraged to adopt.
  • Strong leadership at the national level is essential for spreading and implementing these quality indicators effectively.
  • National societies should focus on the quality of care in endoscopy by identifying local priorities and integrating quality measurement into routine practices.

Article Abstract

The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) has developed performance measures and established a framework for quality assessment for gastrointestinal endoscopy in Europe. Most national societies actively undertake initiatives to implement and explicitly endorse these quality indicators. Given this, ESGE proposes that, at a national level, strong leadership should exist to disseminate and implement quality parameters. Thus, understanding the potential barriers that may vary locally is of paramount importance. ESGE suggests that each national society should prioritize quality and standards of care in gastrointestinal endoscopy in their activities and should survey/understand which measures are a local priority to their members and make measuring quality intrinsic to daily endoscopy practice.
