Ultrasound II: Endoscopic Ultrasound and FibroScan01:25

Ultrasound II: Endoscopic Ultrasound and FibroScan

180
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS) and FibroScan are valuable diagnostic tools in gastroenterology and hepatology, each with specific applications and techniques.
Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS):

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

335
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 III: Video Capsule Endoscopy01:28

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

315
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 Procedures V: ERCP01:26

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

772
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.

Statistical Analysis System (SAS)01:14

Statistical Analysis System (SAS)

303
SAS, short for Statistical Analysis System, is a powerful data analysis, management, and visualization tool. Developed by the SAS Institute in the early 1970s, SAS has evolved into a comprehensive software suite used across various industries for statistical analysis, business intelligence, and predictive modeling.
Applications: SAS finds applications in numerous fields, including healthcare for clinical trial analysis, finance for risk assessment, marketing for customer data analysis, and...

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Data Science in Medicine
  • Endoscopy Services

Background:

  • Current endoscopy software offers limited procedural statistics, hindering trend extrapolation.
  • There is a need for advanced analytical tools to predict future demand and resource requirements in endoscopy units.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply business analytics models for forecasting future demand in a tertiary hospital's Endoscopy Unit.
  • To predict the required number of endoscopists based on projected procedure volumes.

Main Methods:

  • Retrieved endoscopy demand data from 2015 to 2021.
  • Employed graphical inspection for trend and seasonality analysis, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Utilized various exponential smoothing models (simple and double) and linear regression for forecasting, validating with 2022 data.

Main Results:

  • Over 53,000 procedures were analyzed; forecasting models showed a mean average percentage error as low as 6.1% for esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD).
  • Predicted 8,788 procedures for 2022, with actual demand falling within the forecasted range.
  • Estimated a need for 3.2 full-time equivalent endoscopists to meet the projected 2022 demand.

Conclusions:

  • Integrating business analytics into endoscopy software can significantly improve resource allocation.
  • Enhanced data analysis supports better patient-focused decision-making and elevates overall healthcare quality.
