Bowel Prep Is Critical
When we talk about quality in colonoscopy, we’re referring to adenoma detection and sessile serrated lesion detection, along with the associated documentation that we perform.
Achieving that level of quality is not just about writing a prescription for the prep and instructing your patients to follow through with it. Rather, it means providing guidance around diet modification and medication management and explaining the importance of the prep and how it is integral to colonoscopy performance.
It’s a shared responsibility. You, as well as your staff, need to take the time to discuss it with your patients.
Ensuring a quality prep is central to achieving our overall goals in colonoscopy and also in colorectal cancer prevention. Quality is what the patient should expect when a prep is prescribed. Referring physicians and healthcare providers should expect their patients to receive a high-quality colonoscopy prep. It’s our obligation as gastroenterologists to fulfill these expectations.
