Abstract

Electronic health records (EHRs) are a growing source of burden for clinicians treating inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We conducted an EHR survey study targeting IBD clinicians at leading IBD programs throughout the United States. Surveys were sent to 65 IBD clinicians, with 46 responses (70.8%) collected, 41 (89%) were physicians. All clinicians (100%) believe there are opportunities for EHR improvement. Nineteen clinicians (41.3%) felt that their EHR does not enhance IBD patient care. This is the first IBD program survey in the United States showing significant dissatisfaction and opportunity for EHR enhancements to improve patient care.
