   Oliver Cass, FACP, a gastroenterologist at Hennepin County Medical Center in Minneapolis, has developed CD-ROM software to educate patients about colonoscopies.The software tells patients why they need the test and what they can expect.When patients are finished viewing the program, the software not only quizzes them on the contents but also sends a report to the physician, assessing each patient's knowledge about the procedure.Dr. Cass said physicians will know how much their patients know about the procedure and how much needs to be explained.
   
   But the greatest role of the program, Dr. Cass noted, is to reassure worried patients.In one segment, viewers watch as a polyp is removed from a patient.They watch the image of the procedure being performed and the patient's face at the same time.Viewers then listen to the patient describing the procedure."You hear him saying afterwards that it was no big deal, that he'd do it again tomorrow," Dr. Cass said.
