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