National GI Endoscopy Quality Improvement Programme

The National Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Quality Improvement (NEQI) Programme aims to give patients greater confidence in the diagnosis of illnesses. It endeavours to strengthen patient safety efforts in local hospitals and enhance patient care with accurate and complete endoscopy diagnoses and reports.

 

Programme Overview

The Programme was developed under the remit of the Conjoint Board in Ireland of the Royal College of Physicians of Ireland and Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland. It is sponsored by the HSE National Quality and Patient Safety Directorate, and managed by RCPI.

Launched in 2011, it has the following objectives:

  • Improve patient care by minimising diagnostic errors in gastrointestinal endoscopy
  • Develop a standardised national quality improvement system for gastrointestinal endoscopy
  • Enable individual endoscopy units to review their performance against national targets
  • Identify best practice and areas for improvement and share findings with other participating units
  • Improve communication within and between participating institutions
