Colonoscopy quality indicators among nurse endoscopists and physicians in population-based colorectal cancer screening in Sweden
Nurse endoscopists provide high-quality cancer screening colonoscopies, helping hospitals serve more patients without sacrificing care standards.
BACKGROUND : In Sweden, a nationwide colorectal cancer (CRC) screening program for individuals aged 60-74 started in 2021; to meet the increasing demand for colonoscopy, nurse endoscopists may play a key role - provided they maintain high technical quality. CONCLUSIONS : Nurse endoscopists demonstrated high quality colonoscopy performance in CRC screening and represent a valuable resource to meet increasing service demands without compromising clinical standards.
