The GI Quality Improvement Consortium, a joint initiative between the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and the American College of Gastroenterology, allows its users to pull from its data to help physicians measure their performance and quality.
“At 10 million colonoscopies, GIQuIC is a robust source of valid and reliable comparative data for the scientific measurement of the quality of endoscopic procedures. Our objectives are to continue to advance quality improvement for participating physicians and facilities, serve as a data resource for endoscopic investigators, and meet the needs of registry participants as their practices and payment models evolve,” said GIQuIC board of directors President Glenn M. Eisen, MD.
Over 4,800 physicians practicing at more than 750 locations contribute data to the registry. The registry benchmarks over 12 colonoscopy quality measures, including adenoma detection rate and prep assessment.
