Upper and Lower Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Pattern and Record Management in A Rural Medical College in Southern India: An Audit
Journal Title: New Indian Journal of Surgery - Year 2019, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Gastrointestinal endoscopies are commonly performed procedures following gastrointestinal symptoms. Endoscopy reporting, data entry and data management are standardized in developed countries. Here we audited the endoscopy reports in a handwritten record of rural medical college hospital. High number of missed data entry warrants digitalization of the reporting system, which might improve the standard of care of these patients and future research.
