Improve IBD patient care with AGA's new mobile app


 

A new mobile app from the AGA Institute provides instant recommendations for the management of patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is now available for free from Apple’s app store.

The app, which is called AGA’s Instant Recommendations for IBD Quality(tm), uses national IBD quality measures to deliver quick, concise, and actionable recommendations for treatment at the point of patient care.

It’s the quickest and easiest way to improve quality care and identify gaps in coverage for each of your IBD patients. Just answer six yes-or-no questions and get instant feedback.

The app uses the same quality measures as the AGA Digestive Health Recognition Program(tm) (DHRP), which helps clinicians achieve rewards and recognition for their success. The AGA DHRP, which is a Bridges to Excellence IBD Care Recognition program, recognizes clinicians for superior quality of care in the treatment of IBD and is also a way to qualify for CMS Physician Quality Reporting System incentives.

Download the app for free from Apple’s app store.
