Ensuring Competence in Endoscopy

Are hospitals and health insurance plans exposed to potential litigation if they don’t establish guidelines for determining competency in providing endoscopic procedures? ACG in cooperation with ASGE, has published “Ensuring Competence in Endoscopy” which helps to answer this question. Along with the joint publication, a legal memorandum from the nationally-renowned litigation law firm, Williams & Connolly, is included. ACG members received a copy in the mail and ACG also mailed a copy to all hospitals and health plans across the country. PDF’s of each may also be found by clicking on one of the links below.
