ONTARIO ASSOCIATION OF GASTROENTEROLOGY

Welcome Message from the President Welcome to our 13th Annual Conference. For most of us, this is a return to a well-known forum, while for those new at this conference; you are in for a treat. The OAG annual meeting is like no other. We have an opportunity to catch up with friends and acquaintances, establish new links with trusted members of our community and, as always, to learn. The topic this year, THE GI WATER COOLER, is a highlight of the subjects that are on our mind, the stuff you want to know, so you can answer the classic question: What’s up doc? This year’s swine flu has merely reminded us of some of the infection issues we have to deal with on a daily basis, issues that affect us, our patients, and our equipment. Our local environment in the endo unit is also changing, with more people, forms and requirements to deal with. We used to look to the US with some envy, but perhaps we should re-evaluate. We will hear about changes to GI practice in the US and what may be around the corner for Ontario. There will be lots to hear and ask questions about on-call endoscopy and the evolving role of Cancer Care Ontario in our practices. And to top it all off, we have our annual debate … this year asks the question “what is the best GI anesthesia for now and the future?” Our companion program is always popular, and this year’s private tour of the new AGO should be in that tradition of success. Our Saturday Gala looks to be another hit: Formal and Motown. On Sunday, we will hear important information about OMA and CPSO issues, billing information and the issues we, as gastroenterologists, will face in the coming year. For me, this is a sweet end to my three years as your president. It is with both sadness and eager anticipation of continuing success that I pass the torch to Dr. David Baron, your next president. I am sure that he, working with our Board, staff and a growing and enthusiastic membership, will take OAG to new heights. See you at the Water Cooler! Regards,

Jeffrey Axler, MD, FRCPC President, OAG

Message from the Conference Co-Chairs

James Gregor

Gastroenterologists take great pride in the care that we provide to our patients, continually improving our knowledge and updating our skills through the multitude of CME activities available to us. Despite the ever increasing availability of web-based education, many of us still get the most out of the live meetings that we attend. At these meetings it is not always the symposia themselves but rather the "shop talk" between sessions that we find most helpful in our day-to-day activities. These discussions naturally lend themselves to similar discussions between clinical encounters whether it be in the coffee room, in the endo suite, the nursing station on the ward or our office "water cooler." From AASLD to UEGW, there is an alphabet soup of available CME choices. For more than a decade our annual meeting has provided plenty of opportunity to interact on a personal level with colleagues while providing education from a local perspective. Thanks again for making this weekend a highlight on your calendar. I am sure the program will give you more to chew on in the coffee room Monday than last weeks leftovers. Regards,

Session Overview By the very nature of their use, endoscopes may bring microbial pathogens directly into contact with mucosal surfaces or tissues. Inadequate cleaning and

high level disinfection post procedure and subsequent reuse may result in the transmission of dangerous infectious agents from patient to patient or infection with nosocomial pathogens. While the risk of patient to patient transmission is estimated to be one per 1.8 million examinations, outbreaks of infection with a variety of bacterial and viral pathogens have occurred. This talk will review the evidence for transmission and the reasons identified for its occurrence. Dedicated protocols and trained staff who strictly adhere to them are required to adequately process endoscopes to prevent endoscopy-associated clinical infections. A systematic process to review these procedures and the adherence to them is required to minimize infection risk.

He co-chaired the Physician Performance Improvement Task Force that developed the current Colonoscopy Measures for the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI) for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS). As Chair of the Board of the Institute for Clinical Systems Improvement (ICSI – www.icsi.org), he helped develop statewide measures for colonoscopy and colon cancer prevention with Minnesota Community Measurement. He developed a large practice registry for endoscopic outcomes and has published extensively on quality measurement in community practice gastroenterology. He has spoken nationally about physician performance measures, public accountability and quality improvement as it relates to specifically to colonoscopy and colon cancer prevention. In 2006, he published the first “Outcomes Booklet” for a community-based GI practice (found at www.mngastro.com). Within the AGA he has led initiatives concerning transitioning gastroenterology to Electronic Medical Records and has worked with national health plans to develop a GI Quality Measure Set.

economic analysis, and quality of life assessments in Gastroenterology. Session Overview The practice of medicine is in continual evolution and our specialty is no exception. It wasn't that many years ago that Gastroenterologists were one of the pillars of a hospital's internal medicine call schedule, managing everything from the bleeding peptic ulcer to the acute myocardial infarction. Recent years have seen us begin to focus our practice, and in many cases our call, on our specialty. Though our care and knowledge may be available 24/7 in many centres, our trusty friend the endoscope may not be. How vital is it to have 24/7 endoscopy? For conditions such as non-variceal upper GI bleeding there is no clear consensus, though few would argue that availability times of more than six hours are unreasonable. For other other indications such as food impaction and colonic decompression, the literature is even more limited. In this session, we will review some of the indications for on-call endoscopy, some of the local and international data we use to guide us and some local experience about what we actually do on nights and weekends when resources are committed to such an endeavour.

Session Overview The implementation of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening in Ontario has brought

President and CEO Cancer Care Ontario

the cancer community and the OAG together in a common effort to reduce the burden of this common disease. CRC will result in 8100 new cases and 3100 deaths in 2009 in Ontario. Colon Cancer Check, Ontario's colorectal screening program initiated in 2007 has had a strong engagement with endoscopists in Ontario as we work to implement a province wide colorectal screening program. This presentation reviews the initial ramp-up of hospital only endoscopy to support the expansion of endoscopic investigation of gFOBT+ individuals and individuals with a first degree family history of colon cancer. This has occurred in parallel to the secular growth in colonoscopy which has been under way for some time. Clinical guidance, the evolution of program standards and data systems have been key enablers in this program. Public reporting on enrollment and access indicators have also been features of the program as has regional and hospital feedback on volumes by indication, wait times and perforation rates. The feasibility of non-hospital colonoscopy as part of the program is a currently a discussion point for the program, the professional community and the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care.

Shaping What We See: The conversations between Art and the Museums that house it 9:20 am - 10:15 am

uate programs in Art History, Culture and Communications, and Social and Political Thought. She has served as Associate Dean, Co-Director of the Centre for Feminist Research, and twice Chair of Department of Fine Arts, Atkinson College. Session Overview Dr. Shelley Hornstein, will be addressing the Art Gallery of Ontario (AGO) building itself as a container shaping the ideas we think about as we visit the exhibits and how we read works in different institutions differently. Why does the AGO transformation by Frank Gehry matter? How do paintings dialogue with each other and with us in different museum spaces? Why is visiting an exhibition in one museum an altogether different experience from visiting the same exhibition in another?
