GI / Endoscopy Throughput Strategy
At Bare Surgery Consulting, we understand that success in gastroenterology depends on more than just the procedural suite. Throughput is driven by a seamless connection between the GI clinic and the endoscopy unit, smart resource utilization, and strategic planning across both outpatient and inpatient care.
Whether you’re operating a dedicated endoscopy center or endoscopy is integrated into a broader surgical services environment, we partner with you to optimize patient flow, boost physician productivity, and increase procedural volume without sacrificing quality.
_____
Clinic–Procedure Integration
The journey to a successful GI procedure begins long before a patient enters the endoscopy suite. The alignment between the clinic and procedural areas is essential to reducing delays and ensuring a steady, predictable caseload.
We help your team:
• Synchronize clinic schedules with endoscopy block time
• Improve consult-to-procedure conversion rates
• Streamline pre-procedure prep and post-procedure follow-up
• Eliminate redundant steps between referral and procedure
• Focus on strategies to increase clinic and procedural volumes
When clinic and procedural workflows are tightly aligned, throughput improves—and so does the patient experience.
______
Outpatient and Inpatient Balance
A high-functioning GI program must effectively serve both outpatient screening and elective procedures as well as inpatient urgent consults and interventions.
We guide you in developing clear strategies for:
• Managing inpatient scope demand with minimal disruption
• Protecting outpatient access and physician clinic time
• Prioritizing high-value procedures and patient populations
• Coordinating hospitalist and GI team communication
Balancing inpatient and outpatient needs leads to better bed utilization, smoother workflows, and greater revenue integrity.

Advanced Practice Providers: A Force Multiplier
Nurse Practitioners and Physician Assistants are powerful tools in the modern GI strategy. When deployed thoughtfully, they can dramatically expand a physician’s reach and enhance overall access to care.
APPs can:
• Conduct clinic visits for pre- and post-procedure care
• Triage referrals and manage prep education
• Assist with inpatient rounding and follow-up
• Improve overall patient continuity and satisfaction
We help you design and implement APP models that support physician efficiency while maximizing throughput.
