Can we keep our current endoscopy report layout?

In nearly all cases yes. Matching the layout the unit already issues is the normal starting point, and letterhead, section order and signature block are configured to your institution's format.

How many images can an endoscopy report contain?

As many as the case needs. Which images print is rule-driven, and the clinician can override the selection before sign-off.

Can different clinicians use different templates?

Yes, but keeping coded finding lists common across the unit is what makes the data comparable. Personal preference is best handled in the conclusion and plan sections.

Do endoscopy templates support multiple languages?

Yes. Templates are language-configured, with Turkish and English shipping as standard, which suits clinics reporting internally in one language and issuing documents in another.

Professional endoscopy report templates

Q: Is voice dictation supported?

Narrative fields accept any input method the workstation supports, including dictation software, while findings are selected from coded lists so they remain countable.

A NewVision endoscopy report is assembled, not typed. Each procedure has its own template with coded findings, anatomical sections, therapeutic detail, specimen labelling and image placement already defined — so the document a patient and a referring physician receive is complete, consistent between clinicians, and produced in minutes rather than at the end of the list.

Ask for sample reports. We will send finished, anonymised PDF examples for the procedures your unit performs, so you can judge the templates on paper before any demo. Request sample reports.

What a template controls

Layer	What it defines
Header block	Institution letterhead, unit name, clinician, patient identifiers, procedure date, indication, referring physician, accession number
Procedure detail	Scope used, sedation and monitoring notes, extent reached, tolerance, completion status, duration
Findings	Coded finding lists organised by anatomical segment, so the same lesion is described the same way by every clinician in the unit
Interventions	Therapeutic actions with the detail that follow-up depends on: technique, size, number, location, haemostasis, retrieval
Specimens	Numbered specimen table with site, container and requested test — the section that prevents pathology mismatches
Images	Rules for which captured images print, in what order, with captions and annotations
Conclusion and plan	Diagnosis, surveillance interval, follow-up instruction, patient advice text
Output	Print layout, PDF for the chart, language, and the discrete fields sent to the EMR

Templates by procedure

Gastroenterology — upper GI

Template	Fields the template is built around
Diagnostic gastroscopy (EGD)	Segment-by-segment findings for oesophagus, stomach and duodenum; oesophagitis grading; hiatal hernia; gastritis pattern and distribution; ulcer site, size and stigmata; biopsy sites
Variceal assessment and banding	Variceal grade and extent, red signs, number of bands, portal hypertensive gastropathy
Dilatation	Stricture site and length, dilator type and diameters achieved, complication check
PEG placement	Technique, insertion site, tube size, fixation, immediate complications

Gastroenterology — lower GI

Template	Fields the template is built around
Colonoscopy	Bowel preparation quality, extent reached with landmark confirmation, caecal intubation, withdrawal time, segment-by-segment findings, polyp inventory
Polypectomy	Per-polyp record: segment, size, morphology, resection technique, retrieval, haemostasis method
Endoscopic mucosal resection	Lesion size and morphology, lifting, resection completeness, clip placement
Sigmoidoscopy	Extent, findings, biopsy sites, preparation adequacy

Advanced GI

Template	Fields the template is built around
ERCP	Cannulation success, sphincterotomy, duct findings, stone extraction, stent type and position, contrast and fluoroscopy notes
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)	Station-by-station assessment, lesion dimensions and layer of origin, lymph node characterisation, FNA/FNB passes and needle gauge
Enteroscopy	Route, depth of insertion, findings, therapeutic actions

Pulmonology, ENT and urology

Template	Fields the template is built around
Flexible bronchoscopy	Airway inspection by lobe and segment, secretions, mucosal appearance, BAL site and volume, biopsy and brushing record
Nasal endoscopy	Septum, turbinates, meatus, polyp staging, post-nasal space
Laryngoscopy and stroboscopy	Vocal fold mobility and appearance, lesion site, glottic closure, stroboscopic parameters
Cystoscopy	Urethra and bladder inspection, lesion mapping by bladder wall, capacity, catheter and biopsy record
Ureteroscopy	Access, stone location and burden, treatment method, stent placement

Why coded findings and not free text

Free-text narrative reads fine and measures nothing. Because NewVision findings are selected from coded lists, the same data that prints in the report is also countable, which is what makes unit-level quality reporting possible without a separate audit exercise.

Caecal intubation rate, withdrawal time and preparation quality distribution across the unit.
Polyp detection per endoscopist, per session, per list type.
Specimen volume and pathology turnaround by clinician.
Repeat and incomplete procedure counts, with reasons.

These come out of the archive because the fields were structured at the point of reporting — not because someone reviewed a year of PDFs.

Customisation during commissioning

We start from the shipped template for each procedure your unit performs.
Your lead clinician marks up section order, wording and which findings belong on the pick lists.
Letterhead, signature block and the patient-facing text are set to your institution’s format.
Language is configured per template; Turkish and English templates ship as standard.
The revised templates are tested against real cases before go-live, then version-controlled so a later change is traceable.

Template changes after go-live are a configuration task, not a development request. Units typically revise finding lists once or twice in the first year as reporting habits settle.

Frequently asked questions

Can we keep our current report layout exactly?

In nearly all cases yes. Most units want the document to look like the one they already send out, so matching the existing layout is the normal starting point rather than an exception.

How many images can a report contain?

As many as the case needs. Which images print is rule-driven — for example key findings plus landmark confirmation — and the clinician can override the selection before sign-off.

Can different clinicians have different templates?

Yes, though we advise against it for findings. Personal preferences are best handled in the conclusion and plan sections; keeping the coded finding lists common across the unit is what makes the data comparable.

Is voice dictation supported for the narrative sections?

Narrative fields accept any input method your workstation supports, including dictation software, while coded fields are selected. This mix is deliberate: dictation is fast for the impression, and useless for countable data.

Do templates work in more than one language?

Yes. Templates are language-configured, which matters for clinics that report in Turkish internally and issue English documents to international patients.

What about the ultrasound side?

The same template engine drives NewVision ultrasound report templates, where device measurements populate the fields automatically through DICOM Structured Report.
