Quality Improvement
Quality Improvement Initiative - Performance Measures
The ESGE Quality Improvement Committee (ESGE QIC) aims to improve the global quality of endoscopy and the delivery of patient-centered endoscopy services. It aims to promote a unifying theme of quality of endoscopy within ESGE activities, achieved by collaborating with other ESGE committees and working groups, and underpinned by a clear “quality improvement framework”.
ESGE Quality Improvement Committee aims to assist all endoscopy units and endoscopists in achieving these standards.
This endeavour is endorsed and co-funded by UEG.
