Using the benchmarking process to improve care after barium enema.
The benchmarking process in a multidisciplinary radiology department began by identifying the after-care needs of patients undergoing a barium enema. The benchmark focused on privacy and dignity and covered the related issues of nutrition, continence and bowel care. The resultant benchmark has changed practice and provided tools for ongoing assessment and audit.
