Description

Endoscopy procedures start at 8:00 a.m., but inpatients are often unprepared when report is required at 7:00 a.m. This lack of patient readiness causes delays in endoscopy start times, creates safety concerns, and delays in care. Nurses who are well-informed about procedural preparation are more likely to have patients properly prepared, improve safety, and increase effective communication.
