Quality colonoscopy: an issue of gastrointestinal endoscopy clinics
Allen, John I.
Dr. Allen's issue focuses on how gastroenterologists can maximize the "value"of colonoscopy - where value is defined as quality/cost. Clinical issues are covered, like sedation issues, complications of colonoscopy, and infection risk, but the majority of the articles deal with the discussions that surround quality colonoscopy-articles like: Risk Management and Legal Issues for Colonoscopy; Cost effectiveness of Colonoscopy in Prevention of Colon Cancer; Efficacyand Effectiveness of Colonoscopy: How Do We Bridge the Gap?; Current State ofColonoscopy Performance Measures; Use of Databases and Registries to Enhance Quality; and Maximizing the Value of Colonoscopy in Community, to name a few. In preparation of the changing landscape of healthcare, this issue will be an important one for all practicing gastroenterologists.
