Population Ages; Projected Demand forGastroenterologists is Growing at Nearly Double the Rate of SupplyOlympus Seeks Legislative Solution and Increased Awareness to ProactivelyIncrease Number of Gastroenterology FellowshipsWASHINGTON, Jan.

7 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ The United States is facing ashortage of gastroenterologists (GIs) that will total at least 1,050 of thesespecialty physicians by 2020, according to a first of its kind study fromOlympus and The Lewin Group, a national healthcare and human servicesconsulting firm. The new datawas unveiled today and is available at "This GI shortage is a major concern for the U.S. MarkGumz, president and CEO of Olympus Corporation of the Americas. has a sufficient workforce of trained gastroenterologists."In 2008, thesupply of GI physicians active in patient care was estimated to be 10,390.Gumz continued, "While the current shortage of gastroenterologists is notvastly different from other medical disciplines, the only feasible method forclosing the 'GI gap' is to start expanding the number of GI fellowships now, aprocess that will take several years to show results." The Lewin study foundthat training approximately 130 additional GIs per year (a 33 percent increasefrom current planned levels) starting in 2011 would increase supply by 1,550gastroenterologists by 2020.Olympus is committed to broad efforts to address the growing shortage oftrained gastroenterologist and increase colorectal cancer screening rates byhelping to educate, inform and create awareness about colorectal cancerthrough direct consumer outreach, collaborating with professional medicalsocieties and advocacy groups and coordinating efforts with federal healthagencies. One legislative option Olympus is spearheading would dedicatefederal funding for additional GI fellowships, including a public servicecomponent for physicians trained under the program, and direct the Departmentof Health and Human Services to study the GI workforce going forward. Theestimated cost of new CRC cases was $8.3 billion in 2007, with Medicare payingat least $2.4 billion of this total. A federal investment in GI fellowshipstoday can not only overcome the physician shortage, it can yield significanthealthcare cost savings in the near term by making preventative screening morewidely available.The Lewin study employed two proprietary simulation modelsthe NationalColorectal Screening Model and the Physician Supply and Demand Modeltoarrive at the unique GI workforce and CRC screening projections such as:If current age and gender screening rates remain constant, the agingpopulation alone will create a shortage of 1,050 gastroenterologistsby2020.Under a scenario where national CRC screening rates increase by10 percent, the shortage of gastroenterologists rises to approximately1,550 over the same timeframe.If the nation sees a 10 percent increase in CRC screening rates overthenext decade, the total annual number of screenings (beyond theanticipated growth associated with an aging population) increases byapproximately 600,000 in the short term and by approximately 1,500,000by 2020."This study finds that the projected demand for gastroenterologists is growingat nearly double the rate of supply," said Tim Dall, vice president at TheLewin Group and the study's author.

"The shortfall of gastroenterologistscould limit the nation's ability to implement national guidelines for CRCscreening, particularly in traditionally underserved communities.""ASGE recognizes and appreciates the service Olympus has provided incommissioning this report. The population is aging, therefore the numbers ofpeople who will be candidates for colorectal cancer screening is increasing,making screening capacity a critical issue," said John L. Petrini, MD, FASGE,president, American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy. "To keep the mosthighly qualified and cost-efficient colorectal cancer screening in effect, weneed to address the upcoming shortage of qualified colonoscopists.""The American College of Gastroenterology applauds Olympus and The Lewin Groupfor shining a light on the nation's anticipated need for well-trained andhighly skilled endoscopists to enhance and improve our ability to screen forcolorectal cancer, a deadly killer," observed Eamonn M.M. Quigley, MD, FACG,President of the American College of Gastroenterology. "There is no questionthat policymakers need to focus on the challenges gastroenterologists andother physicians will face as the American population ages.""The confluence of an aging population, improvements in technology, fluxes inthe economic milieu and changes in disease prevalence/impact will act inconcert to place new unprecedented pressure on GI service delivery," saidPatrick I. Okolo III, MD, MPH, Chief of Endoscopy, Division ofGastroenterology at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

"Acomprehensive focused national approach to broaden the number and quality ofphysicians trained in gastroenterology will be necessary toobviate this divide."About OlympusOlympus is a precision technology leader, creating innovative opto-digitalsolutions in healthcare, life science and consumer electronics products.Olympus works collaboratively with its customers and its affiliates worldwideto leverage R&D investment in precision technology and manufacturing processesacross diverse business lines.
