Tu1130 IMPROVEMENT IN BOWEL PREPARATION FOR INPATIENT COLONOSCOPY: A PROACTIVE APPROACH

Achieving adequate bowel preparation is challenging and critical to achieve a good quality colonoscopy.Delays due to inadequate bowel prep interfere with medical care, require repeat procedure, increase length of stay and cost of care.In addition, documentation is scant in relation to bowel prep intake.The American Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ASGE) guidelines recommend split-dose prep.We aim to study the barriers and implement changes that will improve quality of inpatient bowel prep in a tertiary-care center.
