Abstract:
This paper documents serial audits on technical aspects of the performance of fibre-optic examination of the large intestine by a number of proceduralists, in one institution, over 7 years. The completeness of the procedure and the associated morbidity are recorded and compared with results reported in the world literature. The study provides a clear demonstration of continuous quality improvement in practice.
