The ASGE/ACG Task Force on Quality in Endoscopy updated quality metrics for several GI procedures. EHR and practice management solutions company gMed has completed the initial adoption of the newly recommended colonoscopy quality metrics.
The new benchmarks relate to:
• Repeat colonoscopy intervals
• Cecum documentation
• Adenoma detection rate
• Withdrawal time
• Complication management
"Our goal is to allow administration and physicians to quickly understand their compliance within the triple society-endorsed metrics. From a simple user interface, the user can review enterprise, location, and provider scores with the ability to drill down to the patient level. With just a simple glance, those same metrics can be seen comparatively (last year, last quarter, last month, etc.) to identify weak areas, but provide the framework to trend improvement," said Erin Dettrey, product manager, analytics.
The feature will be available Jan. 5 to customers with gGastro version 4.56 and a gInsights subscription.
