Abstract
In endoscopic procedures, there is a gold standard for helping diagnose patients with intestinal inflammatory, allergic, or infectious processes. The success of these procedures depends on the success of completing a clean-out preparation (CoP), which helps clean out the intestinal contents that otherwise would obscure the visualization of the intestine during the procedure. A poor CoP could result in a physician missing the clinical findings during the procedure. A poor CoP could also result in a longer procedure and greater exposure to anesthesia.This study is designed to understand the patient experience with a CoP to understand better the education the patients receive to complete the CoP. This study also assesses the access to medication and information. This study will assess the quality of the CoP rates across diagnoses, ages, gender, race, preferred language, and ethnicity. By taking in all these factors, this study will help improve the quality of the CoP and create a better outcome for the endoscopic procedures and better patient care.
