Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Colonoscopy Surveillance Recommendations Algorithm in Clinical Practice

Purpose

The primary objective is to determine if the use of the colonoscopy surveillance recommendations algorithm increases the accuracy of surveillance timing recommendations compared to traditional methods. The secondary objective is to assess the time required to make surveillance recommendations with and without the algorithm, determine the efficiency gains (the average time saved per recommendation), and evaluate the opportunity cost (the financial value of the time saved).
