Many of these newer technologies designed to improve ADR can
also improve both cecal insertion and withdrawal times, and that
could positively impact your efficiencies. If you save 2 or 3 minutes
per exam, and you're doing 15 exams a day, you might be able to
schedule an additional screening, get some other work done or end
your day a bit earlier, says Dr. Rex.
There are also less tangible benefits to optimizing colono-scopy
screenings. "From a societal standpoint, increasing ADR helps
decrease the cost of cancer care," adds Dr. Rex. "And for individual
examiners, it's the peace of mind of having performed a better exami-
nation."
