Endoscopy solution

  
The Endoscopy Services Information System Solution (ESISS) records the clinical information of patients during an endoscopy service in a Queensland Halth hospital or facility.

It is improving endoscopy procedures, reporting and care by providing better patient records and more reliable information.
 

What does this mean for patients?

  • Patients do not have to carry documentation when visiting any Queensland Health hospital or facility for endoscopy care.
  • Patient treatment and monitoring is enhanced by regular reminders for follow-up care.
  • Patients receive a plain language report, explaining the nature of their procedure and follow-up requirements.
     

What does this mean for clinicians?

  • Consistent high quality patient reports, with embedded clinical images which will significantly benefit referring general practitioners.
  • Statewide access to endoscopy reports which will enable clinicians to more effectively and efficiently manage patient care.
  • Quality assurance reports to ensure high quality clinical practice and support accreditation processes.
  • Accurate measurement of endoscopy services facilitating for reporting to the National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) Register.

“The implementation of ESISS at Ayr Hospital saves me the 1½ hours per session I usually spend on paperwork.”
Dr Gillian Mahy, Director of Medicine, Townsville Health Services
