N2 - The European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) and United European Gastroenterology (UEG) have identified that the quality of endoscopy procedures as a major priority. Aiming to raise the quality of everyday endoscopy, the ESGE Quality Improvement Initiative has developed a set of consensus-and evidence-based key performance measures for the main activity areas of clinical endoscopy (i.e. upper and lower gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy, small bowel, pancreas and biliary tract) and for endoscopy services. Each measure includes a recommendation for a minimum and target standard to achieve. The list of key performance measures for endoscopy services includes those related to the leadership, organization and delivery of the service, as well as those associated with the patient journey. The adoption and implementation of these measures by all relevant stakeholders (including patients and their advocacy groups, health professionals, scientific societies, payers and regulators) would favour the provision of high quality, safe, accurate, patient-centered and accessible endoscopic care.
