Reducing Suboptimal Bowel Preparation
Journal Title: Journal of Quality in Health Care & Economics (JQHE) - Year 2021, Vol 4, Issue 4
Abstract
Achieving adequate bowel cleansing is essential to ensuring safe and effective colonoscopy. Yet, among hospitalized patients, suboptimal bowel preparation is a common problem leading to diagnostic delay, increased cost, and patient dissatisfaction. All patients, inpatient and outpatient, presenting with inadequate bowel preparation prior to procedure require repeat colonoscopy sooner than needed with successful bowel preparation.
