The IBD Qorus initiative is a learning health system built on a collaboration between patients and providers that aims to improve the healthcare value for IBD patients. A key feature of learning health systems is the use of data within a collaborative network of patients and providers to learn and disseminate high value practices. IBD Qorus relies for a large extent on patients to self-report their utilization and quality indicator data for this purpose. Therefore, the reliability of these self-reported data elements is of key-importance.
