When results are returned your physician will review and notify you of the results within 2-3 weeks. 

Quality

The physicians at The Oregon Clinic Gastroenterology participate in GIQuIC, the GI Quality Improvement Consortium, a medical registry utilized by gastroenterologists in the United States.

Physicians contribute procedure data to GIQuIC which is then analyzed so adjustments can be made to allow us to continuously improve the quality of care we provide to our patients. The willingness to track and measure performance is a sign of your physician’s commitment to what is best for you, the patient. And participating in GIQuIC is demonstrated to improve patient outcomes. The data in this national registry is also used to advance research and develop guidelines for care across the field of gastroenterology.

GIQuIC is a powerful tool in the fight against colon cancer and we use it to look at a number of different measures to ensure our procedures are as thorough and effective as possible. Below are three measures we track against the national goals that have been set by the GI societies.

We are proud to be recognized by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care. All of our sites have been awarded a three-year accreditation, the maximum given by AAAHC.
