Core Tip	Quality is a measure of actual performance compared to the defined standard as outlined by the medical community. Important quality measures in colonoscopy include informed consent, adequate bowel preparation, cecal intubation, withdrawal time, adenoma detection rate, appropriate screening and surveillance follow-up recommendations, and adverse events. The above quality measures could affect patient outcomes and therefore should be implemented and monitored regularly.
