The HAM Vision
Transforming endoscopic practice through objective assessment that leads to safer procedures and better patient outcomes
From Assessment to Patient Care
The HAM Study creates a clear pathway from individual skill assessment to improved patient outcomes through three interconnected stages
Unbiased Assessment
Objective evaluation of endoscopist tip control using standardized HAM protocol
Key Features:
- • AI-powered motion analysis
- • Standardized scoring metrics
- • Reproducible assessment protocol
- • Real-time or video analysis
Realistic Assessment
Accurate evaluation of procedural competency and interventional potential
Applications:
- • Competency-based training decisions
- • Fellowship readiness evaluation
- • Continuous skill monitoring
- • Performance benchmarking
Optimal Outcomes
Maximum safety and maximized patient outcomes through competency-based practice
Patient Benefits:
- • Reduced procedural complications
- • Improved success rates
- • Enhanced safety protocols
- • Optimized care delivery
Bridging Assessment and Patient Care
By providing unbiased, standardized assessment of technical skills, HAM creates a clear pathway from individual competency evaluation to enhanced patient safety and superior clinical outcomes in endoscopic procedures.
The Ultimate Goal
Every HAM assessment contributes to a larger mission: ensuring that patients receive endoscopic care from practitioners whose technical competency has been objectively validated, leading to safer procedures and better outcomes for all.
