Gastroenterology (Stomach and Digestive)
Surgery centers report annual procedure volume for gastroenterology (stomach and digestive) procedures including:
- Lower GI Endoscopy
- Other Upper GI Procedure
- Small Intestine and Stomal Endoscopy
- Upper GI Endoscopy
Experts agree that patients often have better outcomes when their procedure is performed by a surgeon and surgical teams with adequate, ongoing experience performing a particular procedure. However, Leapfrog has not yet established minimum hospital or surgeon volume standards.
