Methods To identify published biomedical literature on this topic, a Pubmed/MEDLINE search was performed using "surgery", "endoscopy", "gastrointestinal endoscopy", "digestive system endoscopy", "gastrointestinal endoscopic examination", "safety", and "checklist" as MeSH terms. Moreover, there are still no high-level data showing that endoscopy safety checklists improve patient safety in the GI endoscopy unit, including rates of mortality, adverse events, or endoscopy completion. Thus, to facilitate the implementation of an endoscopy safety checklist, we recommend formal education of the entire GI endoscopy team on the importance of patient safety and endoscopy quality; the endoscopy checklist is one tool in the armamentarium for delivering this.
