This study benchmarks endoscopy quality and costs, finding significant variations in procedure expenses and patient monitoring. Further data is needed for comprehensive interpretation of gastroenterology endoscopy practices.

Area of Science:

  • Gastroenterology
  • Health Services Research
  • Medical Economics

Background:

  • Endoscopic procedures are central to gastroenterology diagnostics and therapeutics.
  • Increasing focus on both quality of care and associated costs by healthcare professionals and patients.
  • Variability in practice patterns and resource utilization within endoscopy departments is a growing concern.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To benchmark quality indicators and assess costs simultaneously across multiple endoscopy departments.
  • To identify variations in performance and cost-efficiency for common endoscopic procedures.
  • To provide data for improving the quality and cost-effectiveness of gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of 9,400 endoscopic examinations from 14 departments.

  • Benchmarking of quality indicators and cost assessment.
  • Data collection using machine-readable data sheets for compulsory fields.

    • Main Results:

    • Machine-readable data sheets were correctly filled in 95% of cases.
    • Endoscopy costs varied significantly: diagnostic gastroscopy by a factor of two, therapeutic ERCP by a factor of five.
    • Polypectomy rates in diagnostic colonoscopy ranged from 10% to 50% across departments.
    • Patient monitoring, such as pulse oximetry, was used in only 50% of procedures in some departments.

    Conclusions:

    • Significant variations exist in the costs and quality indicators of endoscopic procedures across different departments.
    • Further validation and data collection are necessary for a comprehensive interpretation of findings.
    • The study highlights the need for standardized practices and cost-effectiveness analyses in gastroenterology endoscopy.
