Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a quality improvement study to determine the impact of an automated telephone reminder on the quality of bowel preparation in patients undergoing outpatient colonoscopy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Randomized trial of automated reminders with bowel prep instructions and encouraging clear fluid ingestion. The phone calls will occur 48-96 hours prior to the scheduled colonoscopy.

All patients undergoing outpatient colonoscopy and prescribed sodium picosulfate plus magnesium citrate will be eligible for enrollment.
