Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Data Submission Portal
The Gastrointestinal Endoscopy Data Submission Portal is a tool for Ontario hospitals to submit colonoscopy data. It is the primary source of data on the quality of colonoscopy across the province. The portal replaces the Colonoscopy Interim Reporting Tool. In the future, the portal is expected to expand to cover all gastrointestinal procedures.
All hospitals performing colonoscopies must participate by submitting data to the portal.
