Improving the Consent Process With an Informed Consent Video Prior to Outpatient Colonoscopy.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Informed consent should allow patients the appropriate time and conditions to make decisions about their care. However, consent is often obtained immediately prior to a colonoscopy. We conducted a quality improvement study to assess how a preprocedure consent video 2 days prior to an outpatient colonoscopy impacts patient satisfaction.

Methods

Patients undergoing outpatient colonoscopy at a large academic medical center opted in to a text messaging platform for procedural information. Our intervention was an informed consent video 2 days before the colonoscopy. Our primary outcome was a composite patient satisfaction score. Pre and postintervention scores were compared using ordinal or multinomial logistic models to calculate odds ratios (OR) or relative
