GI Benchmarking

Turning data into useful information is the key to the effective management of your GI facility. Unfortunately, too many facilities are data rich and information- poor. GI facilities are looking for ways to streamline operations, enhance performance, and save money, while still providing quality patient care. Our EndoSite^® Consulting GI Benchmarking Service can help. It lets you compare your facility’s operations against same-like facilities to determine best practices. The results can be critically important when making strategic plans. Our Benchmarking program is applicable to any facility performing GI procedures- hospital or non-hospital, teaching and non-teaching hospital, dedicated or not dedicated solely to GI procedures. Participating in benchmarking is not simply an audit of your practice to ensure you are keeping up with industry trends. It is sharing information and comparing results to continually improve and develop your practice and the GI industry as a whole.

GI Repair Reduction and Reprocessing Analysis

A repair reduction and reprocessing analysis is a start to finish comparison of your facility’s current reprocessing protocols and handling techniques with industry guidelines, professional standards and manufacturer recommendations in an effort to reduce repair expenses, maximize equipment performance and promote patient safety. Effective reprocessing techniques are critical to patient safety and infection control efforts. As well, effective reprocessing aids in repair cost-containment efforts and increases useful endoscope life. Even the best reprocessing and endoscope-handling techniques cannot overcome the lack of an appropriate amount of endoscope equipment. Included in the analysis is an evaluation of the facility’s current inventory compared to future procedure objectives. Report includes clear, actionable recommendations for implementation along with resources such as a proposed repair tracking system developed for your facility and staff competencies as well as other useful endoscope handling references.
