Summary

This project aims to measure the impact of a physician report card (also called an audit \& feedback report) on colonoscopy performance. Endoscopists in Ontario will be randomly assigned to either receive the endoscopist report card or to no feedback. Using Ontario health administrative data, the quality of colonoscopy will be compared between those who received the report card and those who do not. The investigators will also measure the effect of receiving endoscopist report card on colonoscopy performance amongst endoscopists who perform poorly at baseline compared to those who do not. Further, the acceptability of two educational interventions that aim to improve the quality of colonoscopy will be evaluated by conducting one-on-one interviews with select participants. This study is critical to ensure that Canadians have access to the highest quality colonoscopy possible.

Conditions
