Certification of a Rural Endometriosis Clinic Leads to Improvement in the Diagnosis and Treatment of Endometriosis – a Retrospective Analysis
This study shows that certification significantly improved care for endometriosis patients. Certification enhanced diagnostic precision, increased the use of ultrasound, improved surgical outcomes, and enabled more nuanced application of the #Enzian scoring system. Follow-up assessments became more consistent, reflecting stronger quality control. Despite remaining challenges, certification elevated the clinic's standard of care and emphasized patient-centered management.
