Five elements, 2012–2014
Inpatient care (1 Jan – 31 Dec 2013)
Assesses the treatment that a patient receives when admitted to hospital. Each hospital participating in the audit collects information on the first 50 patients admitted with ulcerative colitis in 2013.
Inpatient experience (1 Jan 2013 – 31 Jan 2014)
Assesses the quality of patient care. Each patient included in the inpatient care audit is given a questionnaire when they leave hospital. They can comment on the care that they received and how this made them feel.
Biological therapy audit (continuous audit)
Collects information about treatment, delivery, disease activity and quality of life in patients who are prescribed infliximab or adalimumab for IBD.

3. Introduction to the IBD programme ‘Improving the care of people with IBD’
Five elements, 2012–2014
Organisational audit and quality improvement tool IBDQIP (1 Feb – 31 March 2014)
A web-based self-assessment that enables hospitals to measure their organisation of care compared with national service standards. The tool identifies areas for improvement and facilitates change.
Quality improvement: peer support visits
A series of visits where hospitals are paired up and meet to compare results and identify methods for improving the quality of care for patients. The IBD programme team supports the clinical teams to share best practice and explore new ways of working.

4. Methodology
Services were advised to meet as a multidisciplinary team to collect data into an online web tool
Data collected was to reflect the IBD service ‘as at’ 31 December 2013
The dataset was mapped to the IBD Standards
As soon as all data was entered onto the web tool and ‘submitted’, instant results were available in a results dashboard
Online action planning (linked to results) was also available

Regular, timetabled MDT meetings should take place, preferably weekly. Attended by members of the IBD team as outlined in IBD Standard A3.
All patients experiencing a relapse should have access to specialist review within 5 working days (IBD Standard A11).
There should be a policy/protocol for transitional care and a named coordinator responsible for preparation and oversight of transition (IBD Standard A12).
Toilets facilities should be provided as outlined in IBD Standard A12 (floor-to-ceiling partitions, full-height doors and good ventilation. There should be a minimum of one toilet per three IBD beds.

10. Recommendations cont.
IBD services should be providing education opportunities for patients and their families, that include: disease education, treatment options and self-management strategies (IBD Standard D2)
Every IBD service should maintain a local register of all patients diagnosed with IBD (IBD Standard E1)
Outcomes of all pouch surgery, should be entered onto the national pouch registry (IBD Standard A3)
