Abstract

High-resolution esophageal manometry (HREM) is a fundamental diagnostic tool in esophagology. Educational tools for this procedure have remained scarce. This quality improvement project aimed to develop an enhanced digital recording about HREM and assess the effect on patient knowledge, anxiety, satisfaction, and procedure abortion rates. The Institute for Healthcare Improvement Model for Improvement and the self-regulation theory guided this project. An interprofessional team was formed. A video recording of the pre-, peri-, and post-HREM care was created. Participants were recruited in the following four cycles: Baseline, Workstation, Manometry, and Home. Questionnaires were collected pre- and postvideo education. The results demonstrated a significant increase in knowledge from 60% to 96% ( p < .001), 58% to 96% ( p < .001), 79% to 96% ( p < .001), and 92% to 97% ( p = .02) and reductions in anxiety from 7.1 to 5.5 ( p = .003), 7.6 to 6.1 ( p = .003), 7.1 to 6.5 ( p < .001), and 6.4 to 6.1 ( p = .03) in all four groups. Almost all (99.5%) participants liked the recorded education and only 2.6% of cases were aborted during the 1-year project implementation period from June 2020 to May 2021. Findings from this project support the positive impact of recorded patient education. An educational recording is standardized and has the potential to be implemented in variable settings.
