Improving Quality and Safety in Your Endoscopy Unit (May, 2015)

ASGE has developed this course to educate physician and non-physician unit staff on how to translate quality concepts into practice at their endoscopy unit. The content of the course is dynamic, addressing the fundamentals of quality and safe practice as well as emerging trends and evidence. Topics include: defining and measuring quality in endoscopy, recommendations for improving the quality in endoscopy units, a review of ASGE and CDC quality-related guidelines, and reprocessing. In addition to advancing their knowledge in endoscopy unit quality and safety, participants in this course will be prepared to apply for the ASGE Endoscopy Unit Recognition Program or renew their current participation.
