Microsoft has published a case study on the development and use of CorporateHealth’ Quality Management System.

After working closely with the Microsoft Visio development team we found an ideal way to create a powerful, simple to use and very pragmatic way to manage all our Standard Operating Procedures. Their Data Visualizer solution provides the key component: An automated way of translating lists (in Excel) into flowcharts (in Visio). That means the steps of a procedure can be rapidly developed as a simple list and presented to internal and external stakeholder for review and use as a flowchart without dealing with any of the design work that a flowchart normally requires.

Embedded into custom Sharepoint lists and workflows then makes all SOPs available to our nurses, doctors and other stakeholder to ensure every case is handled with the same quality as designed.

Adrian Smith gives an overview of the challenge in GI diagnostics, the solution via capsule endoscopy, and the approach to automate using AI thanks to the Innovate UK-funded project we recently launched.

University of Barcelona had submitted the Innovate UK-funded project “Artificial Intelligence-supported Diagnostic of Gastrointenstinal diseases with video capsule endoscopy – AID-GI” to a competition at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year: The 2019 Mobile World Scholar Challenge

Presented by Santi Segui, the AID-GI WP 2 project leader in Barcelona, the submission got into the final 5.

Though not winning, the project was widely recognized as highly innovative.

As a highlight, a video explaining video capsule endoscopy, the analysis challenge and our approach to an AI-based solution was produced.

The new ESGE recommendations for SB capsule endoscopy picked up what CorporateHealth has been working on since many years:

• Using qualified nurses as pre-readers
• Performing capsule endoscopy as an outpatient procedure

CorporateHealth has created a team that achieves highest levels of quality and productivity by combining pre-reading by nurses with a medically sound validation by a doctor. This ensures trust in the results, no matter where the procedure was conducted.

Furthermore, CorporateHealth provides full patient management services: From a referral to transfer of the video, we can make sure that the patient is prepared well and the procedure conducted according to the latest best-practices: At any location, even the home of the patient.

In the newly published ESGE Technical Review, those processes are recognized as new recommendations.
