The goal of this Hybrid Type 2 effectiveness-implementation trial is to test the Standardized Checklist for Optimizing Procedural Ergonomics in Endoscopy (SCOPE-E) bundle-a multicomponent intervention comprised of a pre-procedure ergonomic timeout checklist and evidence-based implementation strategies-as a strategy to mitigate the risk of Endoscopy-related injuries (ERI) during colonoscopy.
Endoscopy-related injuries (ERI) occur frequently, emphasizing the crucial need to integrate ergonomic principles into endoscopic practice to mitigate risks and prioritize the health and well-being of endoscopists. Checklists are a proven strategy in healthcare behavior modification; however, the efficacy of a pre-procedure ergonomic timeout checklist remains underexplored. To bridge this gap, the aim is to evaluate the effectiveness and implementation of the Standardized Checklist for Optimizing Procedural Ergonomics in Endoscopy (SCOPE-E) bundle-a multicomponent intervention comprised of a pre-procedure ergonomic timeout checklist and evidence-based implementation strategies-as a strategy to mitigate the risk of ERI during colonoscopy.
Conducted will be a Hybrid Type 2 cluster randomized controlled trial across 10 endoscopy units in North America with 100 participants. Units will be randomized to the SCOPE-E bundle or usual practice. Effectiveness will be measured by comparing Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) scores before and 3 months after implementation between intervention and control groups. Simultaneously, implementation outcomes will be assessed to understand the practicality of this ergonomic intervention and inform widescale adoption. If demonstrated to be effective, the SCOPE-E Bundle is a feasible and cost-effective intervention that holds significant promise for improving ergonomics globally.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standardized Checklist for Optimizing Procedural Ergonomics in Endoscopy (SCOPE- E) Bundle | Experimental | Endoscopists in each unit that is randomized to the intervention will be asked to use an ergonomic check list to conduct a verbal time-out before commencing each colonoscopy procedure. |
|
| Standard of practice | No Intervention | Usual practice does not involve any of the core components of the SCOPE-E bundle. Endoscopy units in the control arm will not undergo any targeted intervention(s) to enhance ergonomic behaviors throughout the study period. |

|---|---|---|---|---|
| Standardized Checklist for Optimizing Procedural Ergonomics in Endoscopy (SCOPE- E) Bundle | Behavioral | The SCOPE-E bundle is a multicomponent intervention designed to improve endoscopy ergonomics. The bundle is composed of one core intervention and 5 evidence-based implementation strategies which are defined as methods to enhance the adoption, implementation and sustainment of the core intervention. The core intervention is a pre-endoscopy ergonomic time-out checklist. The implementation strategies are endoscopist education, checklist documentation, visual reminders, nursing engagement and leadership support. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Difference in mean Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) scores during colonoscopy between groups (intervention and control) - assessed using ErgoGENIUS (an artificial intelligence posture analysis program) | REBA, a validated measure of entire body ergonomics which considers joint positioning, force exertion, repetitive movements and postural shifts, is a surrogate for Endoscopic Related Injury (ERI) risk. The minimum REBA Score = 1, and the maximum REBA Score = 15. The design goal for the REBA assessment is a score of 4 | Month 3 |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Difference in the percentage of time endoscopists spend during colonoscopy in postures at medium, high or very high risk of ERI (i.e., REBA score >4). | REBA, a validated measure of entire body ergonomics which considers joint positioning, force exertion, repetitive movements and postural shifts, is a surrogate for Endoscopic Related Injury (ERI) risk. The minimum REBA Score = 1, and the maximum REBA Score = 15. The design goal for the REBA assessment is a score of 4 |
