Summary
Brief summary (as posted)
The purpose of this study is to compare the effect of physician education about evidence based practices for colonoscopy alone, versus physician education plus a multi-component staff implementation strategy to improve adequacy of bowel preparation. Additionally the investigators will examine implementation factors that influence adoption of the evidence based practices.
