The development and evaluation of satellite endoscopy services in Western Australia
1Gastroenterology Department, Royal Perth Hospital.
Abstract:
A satellite endoscopy service was formally established in late January 1997 in one peripheral hospital, a second service commencing in April 1997, and a third in December 1997. More than 500 patients underwent gastrointestinal endoscopic procedures at these satellite services during 1997. The feedback received to date indicates that the establishment of this service is supported by patients and the peripheral hospitals. It is expected that this project will achieve all its stated objectives. In addition, the implementation of this service will assist in improved waiting list management at Royal Perth Hospital. The satellite endoscopy service is a unique development in Western Australia and has demonstrated definite benefits to patients in less than six months of operation.
