Résumé

Quality indicators and standards for pediatric endoscopy have recently been developed by the inaugural working group of the international Pediatric Endoscopy Quality Improvement Network (PEnQuIN). Currently available electronic medical record (EMR) functionalities can enable real-time capture of quality indicators to support continuous quality measurement and improvement within pediatric endoscopy facilities. Ultimately, EMR interoperability and cross-institutional data sharing can serve to validate PEnQuIN standards of care and permit benchmarking across endoscopy services, in the pursuit of elevating the quality of endoscopic care for children everywhere.
