PHILADELPHIA – Better patient care means seeing to a patient’s overall health, according to Dr. Michael L. Kochman, chair of the American Gastroenterological Association’s Center for GI Innovation and Technology.

Dr. Kochman says that, thanks to recent innovations, different management strategies for certain diseases such as Barrett’s esophagus has meant gastroenterology has seen “rapid progress and significant change,” all of which are leading to better patient outcomes. Ablative techniques, for example, have helped reduce the number of thoracotomies performed in patients with Barrett’s.
