61 literature when available. When data were unavailable to support establishing a performance target level,“N/A”(not available) was listed. However, when expert consensus considered failure to perform a given quality indicator a “never event,” such as monitoring vital signs during sedation, then the performance target was listed as> 98%. It is important to emphasize that the performance targets listed do not necessarily reflect the standard of care but rather serve as specific goals to direct quality improvement efforts. Quality indicators were divided into 3 time periods: pre-procedure, intraprocedure, and postprocedure. For each category, key relevant research questions were identified. In order to guide continuous quality improvement efforts, the task force also recommended a high-priority subset of the indicators described, based on their clinical relevance and importance, on evidence that performance of the indicator varies significantly in clinical practice, and feasibility of measurement (a function of the number of procedures needed to obtain an accurate measurement with narrow confidence intervals [CI] and the ease of measurement). A useful approach for individual endoscopists is to first measure their performances with regard to these priority indicators. Quality improvement efforts would then move to different quality indicators if endoscopists are performing above recommended thresholds, or the employer and/or teaching center could institute corrective measures and remeasure performance of low-level performers.Recognizing that certain quality indicators are common to all GI endoscopic procedures, such items are presented in detail in a separate document, similar to the process in 2006 (5). The preprocedure, intraprocedure, and postpro-cedure indicators common to all endoscopy are listed in Table 2. Those common factors will be discussed only in this document insofar as the discussion needs to be modified specifically to relate to EGD.
