Colonoscopy with Attention, Reliability and Excellence-The CARE Project.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The success of a colonoscopy is highly dependent on the adequacy of bowel preparation. International guidelines recommend good bowel preparation in at least 90% of procedures, as measured by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. A quality review at our center revealed 25.7% of colonoscopies had inadequate preparation, which formed the needs basis for our intervention.

Methodology

We implemented a simulation-based educational intervention to improve healthcare workers' (HCWs) knowledge and confidence regarding colonoscopy preparation. The program included an interactive teaching session covering the essentials of bowel preparation, counseling stations with simulated patients with common clinical presentations, followed by debriefing using the Plus-Delta model.
