Open Access Endoscopy

In your work as a GP, you want to ensure that your patients enjoy the smoothest, most cost-effective diagnostic experience possible. Referrals to specialists for a separate office consultation add an extra wrinkle to that process.

Fortunately, you can now offer your patients the advantages and benefits of Open Access endoscopy when you refer your patients to gastroenterologist and therapeutic endoscopist Dr Kavin Nanda.

Benefits of Open Access Endoscopy

Open Access endoscopy has grown in popularity over the two decades of its evolution and refinement. Today, GPs across Australia and throughout the world use this streamlined GP-to-specialist referral pathway for the benefits it affords both patients and doctors. These benefits include:

• Elimination of the specialist's initial consultation - You can refer  your patients directly to Dr. Nanda for endoscopy and treatment.
• The ability to retain control of the case - Dr Nanda sends his endoscopic evaluations and treatment recommendations/results back to you, so you can retain control over your patients' overall care.
• Cost effectiveness for your patients - By cutting out the specialist's initial consultation, you offer a way for patients to save on their medical costs.
• Reduced time to diagnosis - Scheduling specialist consultations can add weeks to the overall time to diagnosis. When you use the Open Access channel, your referred patients can get the specialist care they need within just 14 days.

Our Open Access Endoscopy Service

Dr Nanda's Open Access endoscopy service includes some important key features that help GPs and patients alike. We offer both gastroscopy and colonoscopy through this channel, recording the entire procedure (instead of just snapping individual images). An electronic system sends hardcopies of recalls to the patient while also sending the electronic files to the GP.

A simple initial phone conversation allows Dr. Nanda to make a thorough assessment, at which point we can schedule in-person preparation appointments. The Open Access system itself provides security and effectiveness through its ISO accreditation and industry-leading benchmark detection.
