The purpose of a screening colonoscopy is to reduce the incidence and mortality rate for colorectal cancer. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is one of many indicators that has the strongest association to interval or “missed” colorectal cancer after a screening colonoscopy. The current national benchmark for ADR is 25% (30% in men and 20% in women), and the standard withdrawal time from cecum to anus is 6 minutes or longer. SJGI does an annual study to measure if our physicians’ performance is on par with the national benchmark. Our recent colonoscopy study (January 1st- June 30, 2017) shows that our SJGI physicians’ performances met and actually surpassed all benchmarks for quality, and the results are below.
