must understand each detail of such complicated program (depends on communication between many people and machines!)
each must resolve problems on same way, but still there are many specific situations in counties
coordinators must know everything about other specialist indicators and understand of their meaning and consequences
other specialist must also be well informed and aware of all procedures and other coleagues part in this system
anyway must be aware that this is system different of daily routine job

5. Performance indicators

assurance and monitoring waiting time to colonoscopy-less than 6 weeks (currently no problem but if response rate arise-than it can be problem!)
monitoring of writing data in IT aplication (screening register)-individualy and in reports which immediately calculate responses or findings
monitoring internal procedures within their institutions
internal protocols must be in line with recommended protocols and also IT must follow these procedures and indicators

external control of FOBT reading
epidemiologic control of storage conditions for FOBT
internal procedures for quality assurance of each phase
conditions for FOBT reading
staff and daily engagement on screening (other job)
working conditions, IT equipement, function of screening web aplication/registry
coordination with GP-s and field nurses
do they inform patients about positive test personaly/by letter
do they inform GP about positive patient personaly/by letter
any other problems or objections
IT reports about response to invitation letter and on test, number of positive, number of colonoscopy appointments, cause of nonresponse (according to post office stamp, or personal answer etc.)
need to upgrade IT for monitoring waiting time between procedures and also different schedule for persons detected polyps (guidelines)

7. internal control of reading and also must understand
