American Foregut Society Quality Improvement ProjectMission:The mission of the AFS QIP is to provide online data collection and real-time analytic tools which will enable users to take both individual and aggregate outcomes data to personalize patient care using continuous quality improvement methodology. Vision:The vision of the AFS Quality Improvement Project (AFS QIP) is to support the vision of the AFS using continual quality improvement (CQI) as a method to provide personalized care for foregut disease patients. What is QIP vs Research:As long as patient data is collected and used for the purpose of continuously improving patient care, it is considered exempt from typical ‘research’ requirements of having a strict protocol with patient consent and Institutional Review Board approval. As such, any health care provider may collect limited protected health information as well as intervention and outcome data in a streamlined fashion. Research Opportunities:Any human research using AFS QIP data will be conducted through IRB-approved research methodologies (e.g., clinical trials, registries), and AFS QIP may provide appropriate forums for such research when requested. Users:Users will include practitioners and treatment developers (e.g., industry). AFS QIP will be a no-cost benefit to AFS practitioner members. Types of Data Collection:For purposes of clarity and simplicity, all of the data fields collected with the exception of PHI will be referred to as “all QIP data fields.”
