The quality and safety of gastrointestinal endoscopy varies considerably across regions and facilities worldwide. In this field, quality management has traditionally focused on individual performance of endoscopists, with most indicators addressing process measures and limited evidence of improvement in health outcomes. Indicators of quality can be classified according to their nature and sequence. The various professional societies and organizations have proposed many systems of indicators, but a universal system is necessary so that healthcare professionals are not overburdened and confused with a variety of quality improvement approaches. In this paper, we propose guidelines by the Saudi Gastroenterology Association pertaining to quality in endoscopic procedures aiming to improve the awareness of endoscopy unit staff toward important quality indications to enhance and standardize quality of care provided to our patients.
全球范围内,胃肠道内镜的质量和安全性在不同地区和医疗机构之间存在显著差异。在这个领域,质量管理传统上侧重于内镜医生的个体表现,大多数指标都针对流程措施,并且改善健康结果的证据有限。质量指标可以根据其性质和顺序进行分类。各种专业协会和组织已经提出了许多指标系统,但需要一个通用系统,以免医疗保健专业人员因各种质量改进方法而负担过重和感到困惑。在本文中,我们提出了沙特阿拉伯胃肠病学协会关于内镜手术质量的指南,旨在提高内镜科室工作人员对重要质量指标的认识,以加强和规范为我们的患者提供的护理质量。
