N1 - Funding Information: The study was funded by an ASGE research grant for $60,000. A total of $55,000 was spent on study personnel salary and benefits, and the sole responsibility of the study personnel was to contact patients by telephone. As stated previously, 3 full-time personnel contacted patients by telephone to query them about adverse events every business day for 5 months. The remaining $5000 was spent on statistical design, data entry and analysis, and administration of the study personnel. The MDI arm of the study already was integrated into the practice. The nurse reporting was part of the job description for our nursing staff and did not require any extra hours or personnel. This also was true for physician reporting. The institutional website link and weekly electronic reminders were put into place by a medical secretary and did not require additional salary support. We estimate that it took an hour of secretarial time to create the website link and to set up weekly e-mail reminders to staff. The endoscopic complication cards that were given to all patients and returned by some of the patients cost $968 during the study period. The automated process for hospital admissions had been created previously by the infection control group in our practice. These data already were being tracked, we simply had it fed to our Quality group in the Division of Gastroenterology in addition to infection control. The upfront costs of setting up that system are not known to the authors. For our practice, registered nurses who were in a Back to Work program after injuries performed the database entry tasks with no additional salary support from our group. It typically takes 4 hours a week (or 10% of their time) to accomplish this task for a unit that performs approximately 750 endoscopic procedures a week. The adverse event tracking infrastructure was administered and analyzed by both a quality analyst and a staff gastroenterologist.
