IBD Qorus Testimonials

IBD is a complex and often challenging disease to treat, and having a community like Qorus to lean on has meant a great deal to me as a provider. Being part of this network has helped me grow not only in knowledge, but also in confidence in the treatments available. The Qorus community has given me access to resources I might not have found on my own. More importantly, the relationships I’ve been fortunate to build have opened doors for both me as a provider, as well as providing resources and opportunities available to my patients. Learning from and connecting with others who share the same dedication to caring for patients with IBD has been incredibly meaningful. Medicine is always evolving, and through Qorus, I feel supported not only in staying current with these changes, but also in looking ahead to what’s next in treating this challenging disease.

One of the most valuable aspects of Qorus has been the collaborative nature of the program. It has provided our team with meaningful benchmarks, shared best practices, and practical tools that directly support quality improvement and patient-centered IBD care. The ability to learn from other participating sites and see how data-driven initiatives translate into real-world improvements has been especially impactful for both our providers and patients. Qorus has also supported our work by fostering a strong sense of community and continuous learning, helping us stay aligned with evidence-based standards while identifying opportunities to improve outcomes. I would absolutely encourage other providers and practices to join! Qorus offers not just data, but connection, shared purpose, and actionable insights that truly enhance IBD care!

The networking component of Qorus is highly valuable. Collaboration with IBD specialists and professionals nationwide has significantly benefited our clinic, providing insight into different approaches to managing and treating IBD. This exchange of ideas has led us to evaluate and improve our own practices. Qorus encourages continuous growth, helping us stay focused on advancing IBD care and outcomes. One of the most impactful changes we’ve implemented as a result is the development of a “high-risk list.” Identifying patients at increased risk for ED utilization and monitoring them more closely has helped reduce ED visits and improve the quality of care we provide.

I’m very grateful to be a member of the IBD Qorus collaborative community. The IBD Qorus program has been an incredible resource, helping our IBD team learn from like-minded individuals who share a passion for improving IBD care. It is inspiring and motivating to see how collective efforts can keep pushing the needle forward, not only in our own clinic but also on a national level. The monthly “clinical corner” update helps us stay current with the latest innovations and best practices, and the networking with colleagues provides professional satisfaction and enrichment through shared learning and collaboration. IBD Qorus makes me a better doctor and helps me provide even better care for my patients.

Joining IBD Qorus has been one of the best decisions we have made as a practice. Being part of this network has allowed us to learn from peers, adopt proven strategies, and grow in ways we simply could not have on our own. The treat-to-target framework has transformed how we care for our patients. We now order labs before appointments so results can be discussed in real time, open urgent slots to keep patients out of the ER, and provide handouts that empower them to take an active role in their care. We also established a weekly multidisciplinary meeting for our highest-risk patients. Hearing directly from patients about how supported and cared for they feel by our team has been one of the most rewarding parts of this journey. Qorus has made us better, more proactive, and more connected. I would encourage any IBD practice to join this community. The resources and passion for improving patient outcomes make it absolutely worth it!

Being part of Qorus connected me to something I didn't realize I was missing — a real community of patients and providers who are all working toward the same goal. There's something deeply meaningful about being in a space where your experience as a patient isn't just acknowledged, but actively shapes how care is delivered to others. Living with IBD is hard — there's no sugarcoating that. But Qorus gave me something unexpected: a sense of purpose in the middle of it all. Knowing that my experiences, even the hardest ones, are contributing to something meaningful for the broader IBD community makes having this disease feel a little more manageable.

Being part of IBD Qorus for the past 10 years has been an amazing journey! It has transformed The Oregon Clinic's approach to the care of complex IBD patients in so many positive ways. The sharing of best practices ideas amongst academic and community practices is by far one of the unique qualities of participation in IBD Qorus!

It’s a great group of like-minded people from all different practice locations, settings and experiences coming together to improve the care of our IBD patients. There is a lot of support for sites but sharing the aggregated site and collaborative data to see where we stand is very insightful.

One of the more valuable changes we made in our practice from QORUS was having a weekly team huddle to discuss and proactively manage our high risk IBD patients. By doing this, we have been able to decrease ER visits and improve access to patients with an acute/urgent issue. Joining QORUS gives you an opportunity to work collaboratively with different practices across the country to improve the care given to IBD patients.
