摘要
Purpose of Review: This article serves as an overview of several quality improvement initiatives in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Recent Findings: IBD is associated with significant variation in care, suggesting poor quality of care. There have been several efforts to improve the quality of care for patients with IBD. Quality improvement (QI) initiatives in IBD are intended to be patient-centric, improve outcomes for individuals and populations, and reduce costs—all consistent with “the triple aim” put forth by the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI). Summary: Current QI initiatives include the development of quality measure sets to standardize processes and outcomes, learning health systems to foster collaborative improvement, and patient-centered medical homes specific to patients with IBD in shared risk models of care. Some of these programs have demonstrated early success in improving patient outcomes, reducing costs, improving patient satisfaction, and facilitating patient engagement. However, further studies are needed to evaluate and compare the effects of these programs over time on clinical outcomes in order to demonstrate long-term value and sustainability. © 2017, Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
