Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

336
An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

782
Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

318
Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers,...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

259
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy01:26

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

153
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy01:25

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

175
The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Healthcare Operations Management
  • Endoscopic Procedure Scheduling

Background:

  • Pediatric endoscopic procedures are crucial for diagnosis and treatment, impacting both patient care and departmental revenue.
  • Optimal scheduling paradigms for pediatric endoscopy are not well-defined, affecting resource utilization and efficiency.
  • This study addresses the need to evaluate different scheduling models in pediatric gastroenterology (GI).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the impact of transitioning from shared to individual, provider-specific endoscopy blocks.
  • To evaluate changes in efficiency, resource utilization, and provider satisfaction with the new block system.
  • To determine if this scheduling change optimizes pediatric endoscopy practice.

Main Methods:

  • A shift from shared to individual, provider-specific endoscopy blocks was implemented at a tertiary care academic center.
  • Analysis compared an 8-month pre-implementation period with an 8-month post-implementation period.
  • Key metrics included block fragmentation, block utilization, procedure volume, and provider satisfaction via surveys.

Main Results:

  • Block utilization increased from 65.9% to 79.8%, and overall procedure volume rose from 279 to 419.
  • Provider-reported efficiency significantly improved, with 63.2% indicating the block system enhanced efficiency.
  • A majority of providers reported increased personal and overall procedure volumes post-implementation.

Conclusions:

  • The implementation of provider-specific endoscopy blocks enhanced efficiency and increased procedure volumes in pediatric GI.
  • This scheduling strategy improved block utilization and positively impacted provider satisfaction and perceived efficiency.
  • Strategic scheduling adjustments are vital for optimizing pediatric endoscopy practices and improving patient care delivery.
