Study Summary
High quality screening colonoscopy is critical for colorectal cancer (CRC) prevention in Veterans. There is significant variability in colonoscopy quality in VA that is directly linked to differences in CRC incidence and death. The investigators developed the VA Endoscopy Quality Improvement Program (VA-EQuIP) that the National GI program office will implement using centralized quality measurement and reporting for adenoma detection rates (ADR), bi-annual audit and feedback with provider benchmarking to local and national performance, and collaborative learning to support colonoscopy quality improvement. Using a cluster randomized controlled trial, the investigators will study the implementation of VA-EQuIP and determine the efficacy of its intervention on adenoma detection rates, which are directly linked to CRC incidence and death.
Primary Outcome
Adenoma detection rate is a provider level quality metric. For individual endoscopy providers, the numerator is the number of patients undergoing colonoscopy for any indication in which one or more adenomatous polyps were removed. The denominator is the total number of patients undergoing colonoscopy for each individual provider. Data will be obtained from our operational database for quality measurement and reporting.
