Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic condition leading to significant health, lifestyle, and cost burdens to patients, their families, and society. Several health care organizations, including The Physician Quality Reporting System (PQRS), have created performance measures to aid in establishing evidence-based standards of care in attempts to improve the quality of IBD care, and ultimately health outcomes. When used effectively, the electronic health record (EHR) should improve adherence to, and documentation of, performance measures for outpatient IBD care.
