The ACG and ASGE recently issued new recommendations on quality indicators for colonoscopy in an effort to underscore the importance of early detection and screening for colon cancer, according to a Sept. 4 press release sent to Becker’s. 

“We agree that current clinical standards must reflect the capabilities that have been enabled by novel techniques and technologies, including high-definition endoscopes that help drive quality improvements,” an Olympus spokesperson said in a statement to Becker’s. “Furthermore, this guidance opens new opportunities for level setting in situations of suboptimal performance, including the use of assistive devices and enhanced imaging technologies.”

At the Becker's 23rd Annual Spine, Orthopedic and Pain Management-Driven ASC + The Future of Spine Conference, taking place June 11-13 in Chicago, spine surgeons, orthopedic leaders and ASC executives will come together to explore minimally invasive techniques, ASC growth strategies and innovations shaping the future of outpatient spine care.
